It seems like everywhere I called home when I was growing up, never really ended up really being home. To be honest, I think another kid was the last thing my mother needed.
I was mis-understood, no one seemed to know how to co-operate with me, and I didn't seem to want to co-operate with them either. It got to a point to where my mother would start to overdose me on my medication, then I became the quiet. I would say I was about 6 years old at this time.
I can't actually re-call a lot of events from these times, a lot of the memories are misplaced, or disoriented.
I started to fall in love with computers after watching my uncle and cousin play TF2, I loved that game so much, haha. I would say I was 11 years old at this time. I would always play TF2 to ignore my actual life, it was annoying. There was so much drama, it seemed when I got involved in the drama it would always end in a phone call.

I always knew I was going to have a career with computers, but my parents had a fine line at supporting me with my goals. That fine line seemed to disapear to where they didn't support me at all anymore.
It seems like all I really wanted to do was play CS:GO all day. Let me play CS:GO, and I was good. That was how I coped in life, to be honest; the best thing yet.
Being in a few psychiatric hospitals before, seems like nothing really helped, they would always want to add new perscriptions. Perscriptions became the easy way to raise their kid, if I messed up, it was obviously a problem with my

It was her mom, her step dad, her friend (Amy), Gary, her mom’s friend, four or five of Gary’s friends, and herself who traveled up the Finny Cumberlane mountain side.

    The crisp breeze rustled my hair as I walked out of my house on the fall September day with my dad drilling instructions into my head. It was my first Little League baseball game ever, and my dad wanted to make sure it wasn’t my last. Being seven years old and never touching a baseball was something that had scared me; a lot. I had no idea what to think about this foreign, petrifying, game could possibly be about. The car ride from my house was only a few minutes away from the fields where I would begin my baseball career.…

    When I was young, I was too curious for my own well-being. This included me taking apart a vacuum in a quest to comprehend how a machine made red circles on my arms and face when I pressed the nozzle on my skin (something my mom had to explain in embarrassment to my kindergarten teacher); and using my favoured medium of “black sharpie” to create a portrait, equal in beauty and value to a Da Vinci painting, on the kitchen wall. My mom still tells of the trouble I elicited when I was younger, but the stories always stop when I reach 5 years of age. That was when I discovered reading.…

    At the age of thirteen, I was introduced to the game console Xbox 360. I fell in love with it the minute I started to play it. The game console was a Christmas present. What I did not know at that point of time was that it was the worst present for me in the long run, and that there are much better and useful things to do instead of watching a screen. I had several Xbox 360 games, but the first one I started to play on the Xbox 360 was Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.…

    It is class night at the Wonderfully Made Foundation for those of us ladies staying in the shelter. I am nervous about class, but excited also because the ladies and staff have spoken highly of tonight’s volunteer presenter. “You are going to love Ms. LaTara” Mrs. Lisa said to me as the kids and I walked in. I thought… I don’t know about that. I’m tired and I just want to be at home or at choir rehearsal, because it’s what I’m familiar with.…

    Rory came to our store and asked for me to join him in the office to discuss more, which I did. At the beginning of the conversation I again said that I was not in no way, giving a demand but I was asking for the transfer. We began our conversation again around where is all the areas that I've already covered, and where exactly is home. This began to make me defensive because I know how to lead people into conversations to get certain results I'm looking for. It's called "open ended questions".…

    In the 2000s, online games became increasingly popular, while studies of Internet gaming addiction emerged, outlining the negative consequences of excessive gaming, its prevalence, and associated risk factors. “The establishment of specialized treatment centers in South-East Asia, the US, and Europe reflects the growing need for professional help” (Internet and Computer Addiction 2015). Internet Gaming Addiction is a modern-day psychological disorder that experts say is becoming more and more popular. Although Internet Gaming Disorder is listed as a “Condition for Further Study” in the DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), one could argue that due to it having the same effect as gambling addiction, Gaming Disorder could be classified…
