I 'm 16 years young. I 'm a very happy person to everybody. Many people think that i 'm quiet and shy whenever I walk into a room or something. Little do they know is that I 'm going to be the loudest one there. The first impressions people have of me are the whole opposite of who I really am. Everybody sees me as a really happy, confident, and anger issued teen. Those three characteristics are really true, but there is way more to me. I have never been the type to show my feelings. What people really don 't see is that I have a huge heart. Im very caring and nice. Many can 't tell I have such a big heart because i 'm not the type to show emotions so much. Sometimes i find it crazy how people think i 'm cold hearted. My mom is the one who really knows how big of a heart I have. At times, i catch myself being way to caring to the people who don 't deserve it. My confidence and my big heart is something nobody could ever take away from me. I 've been through alot my past years and i 'm even more confident than ever. Many people think i 'm mean because I have anger issues. Having anger issues doesn 't make me mean , I just have a short temper and get mad really fast. Whenever I get mad and hurt somebody 's feelings I regret it so much once I start thinking about what I did. I 'm not ashamed of having such a big heart. Its sad that teenagers these days like to say they are cold hearted. I believe that nobody could ever be completely cold hearted

Months later, I lost my Aunt Pam and my Uncle Omar in the same week, having so many people pass in such little time brought all of those feelings of pain, and heartache back and so did the depression. I struggled to keep it together, but when things got bad my parents did what they thought was right for me more medication, and more therapy. All this death made me really learn to open up to people. I used to never spoke to my therapist, or anyone for that matter and keep everything bottled up.…

    I always got lost in our discussions, deep and intelligent or silly and illogical. I always made fun of you but could never take jokes about me back from you, and I’m sorry for being a sensitive hypocrite about it. You were so frustrating, never admitting you were wrong, never letting me do what I please, making fun of me when I was down. But even in the most heated arguments or most irritable moods, we could almost always laugh it off. I’m sorry I found it so hard to tell you that I had a number of mental health problems, I was scared to be weak in front of someone who’s opinion meant so much to me.…
