I really have no other option. My friends are fake. One of them called me a rat because I was hanging out with my other friend. The one that called me a rat guilt tripped me into buying something for her when I didn’t really want to. She kept begging and made me feel bad if I didn’t. Another friend I have supports a politician that is against me. Aka, said politician is racist and homophobic, and I’m bisexual. So, you can see why it’s confusing whether I wanna be her friend or not. She’s nice, and cool, or whatever but she supports him so it’s confusing.
My family is just a whole level. My mom never has enough time for me even though she spends hours just playing candy crush or something. My dad is driving me insane because he doesn’t care about me but acts like he does. My brothers are both racist and homophobic and say slurs. Everyone tells me to try and bond with them, but I don’t want to. I don’t want anything to do with them. I wish I had a different family.
That’s why I plan on killing myself.
