My life.

By January 17, 2025No Comments
So, before I begin I just wanted to say that life is horrible. It will hit you in the face until you die.
But life also has it’s good sides and currently that’s not happening for me.
I’m twelve years old.
I’m blind. I mean it, I’m completely blind.
When I was five months I was diagnosed with retinal blastoma.
It’s a type of Cancer that attacks your eyes.
I was in chemo for two long years.
And then at the age of two I had surgery and I became blind after they removed my eyes.
I grew up to start school at the age of three, and I had to learn braille and English.
I had an amazing teacher.
She was like a second mom to me.
She fought for me to make sure that I had all of my accommodations and equipment.
Now I was pretty bad sometimes. I wouldn’t do my work.
But eventually I started to do more until I didn’t hesitate to do something.
One day in fifth grade I was standing with a cart that held my things.
And the strap of my purse had tangled in the handle.
A woman who I guess was trying to help me started to guide, push me to my other class.
And the strap was getting harder around the handle and I stumbled.
My teacher calmly told the woman to be careful.
And the woman didn’t take this well.
She started screaming and trying to fight my teacher.
Now this woman was in the military before so if she did hit my teacher God knows what she would have done to her.
Eventually a teacher stepped in between the woman and my teacher.
Then in the summer of that year she retired.
I wished she wouldn’t have been here when I started the 6th grade.
She wouldn’t have been able to guide me.
Here is where my life falls apart.
When I started 6th grade, it was good at first but then it became a nightmare.
I started to curse and since my family is christian.
I knew that they wouldn’t like that.
It got so bad that I started watching paranormal videos and did small rituals but when nothing happened I laughed.
But one night I felt several presences around me.
And slowly I started to experience paranormal activity.
And it was horrible.
I would beg for it to haunt me somewhere that wasn’t my safe haven, the band hall.
I joined band when I was in the 6th grade and I am currently in the honors band playing flute for the top band in school.
My safe haven, the band hall, has always helped to keep me from doing something stupid.
I don’t have many friends and the few I’ve got are prob fake.
But any ways.
I would experience horrible things. I would hear voices while I was in the shower and while I was at the store and everywhere else but the band hall.
Until one night I broke down and didn’t get any sleep.
I sat there in my bed on my knees praying to God asking for forgiveness, and he gave it to me.
I have been working on my cursing but I still have a lot of bottled up feelings inside me.
I just wish someone would understand me.
Thank you for reading.Help yourself:

  • First, I would like to thank you for having the courage to share your story with the Teen Central community. It seems like you’ve been through a lot in 12 years.  Be proud of yourself for reaching out!
  • It’s wonderful that you had someone in your life that you felt supported you through the difficult times.  Have you tried talking to other people you trust and given them a chance to provide similar support to you?
  • One thing that may help is if you reach out to a trusted adult and share your feelings, let them know what you need as well.  We oftentimes assume that people know how to support us and just don’t, when in reality they don’t always know how to.  Give them a chance, but give them a hand as well.  The more they understand you and what you need the more support they can provide.
  • Have you thought about why you turned to exploring paranormal activity?  You may have realized it’s not for you, but what was your reasoning?  There may be something else out there that’s healthier for you that will provide the same fulfillment.

Consider this:

  • You expressed feeling like you don’t have many friends.  Here on TeenCentral we have a section called “Tools”.   If you take a look at the Social Skills tab it has suggestions that you might be able to use, including starting or ending a conversation, clarifying when you don’t understand something that’s being said or done, and many more.
  • What are some other interests that you have?  The best way to meet people is to do the things you like to do.  You’re more likely to meet people who share the same interests as you.
  • It is very important to work on yourself and your ability to feel more confident in how you interact with others. In the Tools section there is also a tab called Positive Self Talk. Check out ways you can improve how you feel about yourself.
  • Always, remember to keep your chin up and look for solutions that will work best for you. You are an amazing human being who’s overcome many obstacles already in your life.  Keep growing and keep learning- that’s how we get better!
