Life as a typical teenager
...the majority of my life. As i got older my parents seemed to fight more and more. At times my mother would move out and I would be dragged along with. I ended up living in a few odd places such as Kansas. This is not to say I was alone. I am the oldest in a family of 4. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister at the ages of 13, 11, and 3 respectively. My life was semi-hectic untill about the age of 11 when my parents became divorced. At this time I chose to live with my father. The area I lived with was called Hometown. It is a small wooded area with a low population. Nearby was the town of Tamaqua which wasn't much bigger. The first years of my life I spent at the local school called Rush Elementary. Later as I got older I went to Tamaqua Middle School. This was a time of me being very naive about people in general and wondering more of the world around me. I did not care what people thought of me and was more intrested in staying occupied. At this moment my fetish was a computer game called Everquest. This time was very boring in my opinion. I didn't have many friends and the ones I did have I was never very close with. While this was actually one of the bigger phases of my life, I do not place much importance on it. Things began to change once I decided to move in with my mother who was staying in Hazleton. The city of Hazleton is much bigger than Tamaqua. In Tamaqua I never had dealt with any ethnic backround other than your average white kid. Hazleton was much different. The atmosphere of the area was much faster and felt more dangerous. When I moved here I was scared. I knew absolutely nobody and felt very small. This will all lead to me growing up quite a bit. When I moved into Hazleton I was still in the middle school. I had no idea of what I was getting myself into when I decided to move. When I look at it now it seems like I am constantly looking for change in my life. I am very unpredictable and when something in my life does change, it is usually a big one. The cause of me moving was actually a minor argument with my father. Truthfully if I hadn't argued for it, I would have never came. I was eager for change. My first day at school was a huge culture shock. People really didn't act how I expected them to. I fealt totally out of place, and I was. Fortunately a few people invited me in...
