Hiya, name's Addie. I'm still a kid, I know. 15. Don't judge me by my age. If you don't like me, hate me for who I am. Not how old I am. I skipped freshman year but I'm definitely more street-smart than book smart. My brother's dad says that when I grow up I should be a professional bulllshitter. He says it would be perfect for me and that I wouldn't even need a degree. My favorite bands are La Dispute, Touche Amore, Merchant Ships, Queen, Bruce Springsteen, and scattered bits and pieces of anything post-hardcore, emo-core, melodic hardcore, alternative (old alternative, not anything that's popular but not pop), spoken word, the works.
I'm not gonna tell you how terrible my home life is because it's really not that bad. I don't complain much, and if there's one thing that really bothers me, it's people (mainly suburban middle class girls) who complain about how awful their life is: (my parents wont let me see sleeping with sirens omg fml I better go kill myself).
My reasons for checking out this website? A few friends of mine left town a couple years back. Granted, it was only a 3 week trip, but they said that they learned more in those 3 weeks than they learned in their entire high school careers. They told me that they learned so much about themselves, and how to be independent. They said that their parents (who were once tre psychotic) calmed down once they got back and started treating them like intelligent beings, rather than pawns which is pretty much how I am treated now.
I've gotten my fair share of the "your life is fine now, don't fuck it up. you're just a kid, don't go screwing things up for yourself. you don't understand". I want to understand. If there is really something all that bad to liberation, please tell me. Don't give me the dumbed-down child talk. I get enough of that. From human being to human being, tell me the problem with experience. And who knows, maybe we'll both learn something.
Thanks for your time. Have a brilliant day.
