Expecting him to come, but he didn’t show up or pick up the phone. I felt like nobody cares about me and I was abandoned by my parents. My mom promised me she’s coming back for my birthday, but she didn’t. This isn’t the life I expected it to be. I was depressed and desperate. I started cutting classes. One day I came home from school and my mom was waiting for me in my room. I was surprise she’s home because she didn’t told me she’s coming back. It’s after I know that my official teacher called her and inform her that I wasn’t behave in class and she invited her to the coming up PTC. She came back right before the meeting. After she found out my grades and days absences, she sat down with me in the living room. She was really upset and she was yelling at me, ask me why am I change all of the sudden. Why am I not behave in school. However, I was really calm until I saw tears dropping down from her eyes. In that moment, I regret for what I’ve done. I never wanted to see her cry, I felt so guilty. She told me to evaluate what’s best thing to do right now, she told me I was old cenough to make decision. She will respect
