June of last summer I started sh. I'm young, and not okay (yes that's a thing). My mom is an addict, shes always been an addict, and when I was 6 my father finally called the police and they dragged me out of there with no warning. I knew things at that age that no child should ever know, and it messed me up. I was forced to grow up too soon and I just wish to have my innocence back. My mom constantly argues with me, my brother STILL hits me at his big age (he used to physically beat me), and I just don't have the heart to tell my father I'm struggling. Recently I've been having bad thoughts an I'm just so, so tired. I have scars all over my upper arms, my wrists, and my thighs. I also have a best-friend that has attempted MANY times which just builds even more stress, and I just feel like I don't have the right to feel this way, like I need validation. I'm just gonna say it so people are aware that young children can have bad mental health, I am 12.
