Life can be really tough, especially for a teen growing up in the society that we live in today. Back in the day life was like a fairy tale compared to now days.... Everyone knew each other, and were friends with one another and got a long, there was no fighting or anything, no partying, life was laid back, and worry free compared to now. Now days kids have to deal peer pressure like drinking, drugs, sex ect. Kid's these days live in a society based off of T.V, Radio, Video Games, & Movies. Our lives are all based off of influences and pressure of others. I grew up in a home where my Dad was always on the road and was hardly ever home, my Dad beat my Mom in front of me, and abused me at times as well. My Dad would always come home having a new girlfriend & cheat on my Mom. I grew up in a tough house hold, but I was too young too understand exactly what was going on at the time. I was adopted by my step-dad back in 2002 and took his last name and my real dad lost all his rights as a Father to me. I remember them questioning me asking me if this was what I really wanted by getting adopted and I said yes, although I did not fully understand what the whole process ment.... I couldn't talk to my Dad or have any contact with him till I tunred 18. I thought adoption ment just taking my step-dads last name, but in the end it was all worth it and come to find my real Dad never really did truly care, as much as I wanted him to he never did. If I ended up getting raised by him today I would pry be on the wrong road in my life right now. But I'm lucky because I have two parents who would take a bullet for me and do anything to see me suceed in life. And I have no regrets about anything. Thanks Mom & Dad! I love you guys!
