Because why not.

Where do I start? Today my little sister had a fit because she had to put away her game because school starts tomorrow for her. It wasn't just a little whine. It was a full blown "shut the tv off ad everyone go to bed fit". What's wrong with that? She's nine years old. Nine year old kids don't cry for 20 minutes about a stupid game. But I know what it's like. I was there. I did that once...

I (and everyone in my family) have this little thing called ADHD. You may be thinking that ADHD is just an excuse. Well, sadly, some people use it as one. For me, however, it's a massive chunk of who I am. I'm very anti-social, but I didn't used to be this way. I used to be very outgoing and happy. What's the problem with that? I didn't know how...

I never knew why I was picked on at school. I assumed that the other kids were just being mean to me. I didn't know how strange my behavior was. My mom used to tell me that I should behave better. I usually replied with something along the lines of "I don't care what they think". That was in middle school. What I didn't know was that they had formed opinions of me that only just two years ago I figured out. How did I figure these opinions out?...

I did come across some kids in high school that were a lot like me. They were, and still are, going through the same stuff I have. they behaved strangely, talked about weird things, and didn't really know how to make friends. I realized that their story was not unlike mine, but only after I had made fun of them and picked on them. I know that makes me a bad person, but I was just doing what everyone else was doing. I was just following the crowd....

What brings me the most sadness is knowing that my little sister is going to have to go through all of that, just like me and my big sister did. I just feel powerless to help her. I could tell her what I'd learned. But she, like me, won't listen. I'm just so upset right now. All these painful memories. I think I'm just gona sleep it off, maybe....
