Intro

*You're a twelve year old boy, writing this in your journal, you write:

I honestly don't know if I can keep up with my life anymore. Everything's changing, I wanna stop it, but I can't. My brother's going down the wrong path, my mom takes it out on me, so does my dad. They argue a lot, yell at me when angry. I honestly cry myself to sleep at night, then waking with the exhaustion of it during the morning. Going to school with everything on my shoulders hurts. I know my brother's struggling, but the helplessness I feel for him makes it impossible. I used to look up at him, now after finding his vape I don't know what to feel. I feel so lost some days, it's honestly painful. I try to hide it, just to be met with another breakdown of holding everything in. I hate my life so much I want to end it. But I can't stress my parents more. But what if its the only way to escape this feeling? I only have two friends in my life only two. I do have others I talk to but I don't think they like me. I became basically mute in school, barely speaking even when I want to.*
