hi. i'm 16 years old, and i have no friends. i have no siblings. my parents are in the middle of a divorce, and all i have is my mother and online friends. i graduated at 15 from homeschooling, and it has completely ruined my social life. i can not stay clean for the hell of it, and it breaks my heart when i hurt myself because my mom makes me promise that i don't. i break my promise often. i have lied about my identity online to people, thinking i could fit in better, but it has made everything worse. i have only had a few real life relationships, and i've been sexually assaulted in two of them. i have been led on in one of them. the rest have just gone downhill, and we went our separate ways. i don't know how to make friends. i live in louisiana so it's hard to find teenagers my age who enjoy my niche interests. i love music, i love poetry, i love art, i love nature. i wish i could find people who liked me and my interests
