"I wanted to let you know how I was doing. I broke up with my boyfriend because he made me feel too grown up, and after the weekend I JUST WANT TO BE A TEEN!!!!!! I'm tryin to patch things up with my friends and parents, AND I feel better about my body and am alot more selfconfident. However my boyfriend (like you said some people would do) because I broke up with him wasn't too happy about the "new me" which is the person I was before my parents started drinking. I wanted to send you the e-mail I sent him and I hope you are proud of me for it because now I'M USING MY VOICE!!!
the old me didn't have a voice!!!! The old me wasn't happy with her life! THE OLD ME WAS SO FREAKIN WORRIED ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE BEING HAPPY SHE THREW HERSELF CONFIDENCE AND HAPPINESS OUT THE WINDOW!!! I may have been happy with you, but I wasn't happy with myself, with trying to be what everyone else wanted me to be, and if you don't like the me that is trying to make herself feel better. The me that wants to be happy no matter what she looks like, then you aren't the person I thought you were. I thought you were the person that wanted me to be me, well this is the me that I was long before I knew you, the carefree me. THE HAPPY ME!!!! Sorry you don't want me to be happy! I don't expect you to understand, because you didn't know the me that I'm becoming because you didn't know that me. Alot of my friends didn't know that me because that me died when my parents started drinking and tossed me aside. The me that you knew wanted everyone else to be happy because she didn't want anyone to go through the same heartache that I did! Sorry if you don't like who I am, but it is alot better than who I was...UNHAPPY WITH MYSELF!!! I know you think I'm being selfish, but if trying to make myself happy is being selfish...THEN I AM!!!!
thanks for making me feel better about myself! "

"I liked being able to see and hear other people's reactions to their own problems. I also liked that the fact that I was only 16 and it didn't matter."
