After being in and out of juvie for three years I decided my life was a waste and I tried unsuccessfully to kill myself. My mom, fearing I would try suicide again with a different result, forced me to go to a psychiatrist to deal with whatever mental-emotional stresses I was going through. My psychiatrist soon learned that I was getting into so much trouble because I had no escapes for my emotions, I didn't play sports, I had almost no friends, so my emotions took on the form of violence. She told me that I should focus my emotions in the form of stories or poems. Ever since I began, my life has completely turned around, my grades rose, I made more friends, so here I am.
