Going to a new school is difficult, especially if you can't really be around people without hiding yourself.
Hi, my name is Alena, I am a 14 year old girl who loves the colour black. People make fun of me because I have an birthmark right over my eye. People joke around about it and think it's from my dad abusing me, but it's not! My dad isn't abusive, I love him to death! He is always there for me, he has my back when I'm sad or miss my mom. Oh, I forgot to tell you that my mom died when I was eight, I really miss her. Now that my dad got a new job, we moved to New York City. I'm excited but also scared. I figured out last month that I had a eating disorder and a social disorder. I think it's from people at my old school: ugly, fat, obese, weird and more words. Now I have to take pills, I'm not excited for tomorrow but I'm excited to see my Aunt on Saturday! She is my favourite person in my life, she helps me with personal stuff. When I first got my period, she explained everything to me to make it better. She gave me pads until she told my dad. I have told lies to my dad before, like when I had a crush, he wanted to know. So, when he thought I had a crush, He would ask me. So, I told him a lie: that I didn't.
