Yes I have been in a situation that was difficult to get out. When I went to a party with my friend’s in California, my friend’s had beer and drugs I was 14 years old. I didn’t want to drink or do drugs, but they told me that I had to or they were going to jump me and kick me out of the party. I was having a good time until that happen. I couldn’t get out of it because no matter I didn’t want to do it but I did. I felt so guilty because I've never done drugs or drink until that day it was my first time.

If I have ever feared failure yes I have maybe like two years ago. I started to feel that because I stopped going to school, I was only in tenth grade, and I really didn’t care about my future. I only thought about having fun at the time, so I was hanging with bad group of people we used to miss school every day go smoke weed, make kick backs, and get drunk. Then, I would end up going home like at midnight, I would go to sleep and I would do the same thing the day after for a really long time. I wouldn’t go look for a job and I started to get into trouble a lot. Then, I was sent to D.T 8 times in the year 2009 and my last charge I got was really bad. My probation officer wanted to send me to secure care for 1 year but my attorney helped me and so my judge sent me to a program then they put in proctor care. I have gotten a lot of help to graduate from school and skills so I could help myself to not go back to my bad ways. So, I think that was the time I feared failure.

Have you ever felt stuck in a situation?

Yes. I’ve been in many situations like that. I think we all have. My situation was one that I never even imagined that I would be. I was in a relationship with this boy, and it was almost like I had to have sex with him so he would want to be with me. I never got why. It wasn’t like I was bad looking. I was actually really good looking compared to most of his previous girlfriends. As soon as he knew that I wasn’t into the whole sex thing, he kind a backed off a bit. I thought I really liked him and soon enough I feel into his little trap. Lucky I got out of that situation soon after because I don’t know how things would be right now. Now a year later I have found a great guy that doesn’t love me for those kinds of things. And now we have been together for 7 months.
So don’t ever let anyone make you become or do something you don’t want to be or do.

Who are you willing to die for?

I once got asked what are you willing to die for? I took my time and thought about it, and answered my friends and family. That same person asked me for the reasons I said because my friends are my family and my family is my life. I decided to write about friends and family because I would be nowhere near what I am today if it was not for them. I live with my mom and my brother and it’s been that way for sometime. Soon after we moved I started to make friends a few years has gone by, and even though I love my blood family I realized that my friends are more of a family to me than friends.

There are times you go to your friends more than your family, but if you honestly think about it they’re family too. I’ve became so close to my friends that I really have no clue what I would do if I lost them. When I’m with most of my friends, we are usually just talking, or watching movies and joking. I love my friends just as much as I love my family, and to tell you the truth I really don’t care what people say my friends are blood, and I truly wouldn’t have a single regret if I got killed saving a friend or family member. I would be happy that they were alive at least I would have died for a good cause.

Having a point of view matters because without it how do people make choices. O it wont make you unique your perception is apart of you. I t helps you be an individual. Helps you make your decisions It helps people get the whole picture instead of getting one perspective on both sides. Because if you don’t get both of the stories then how do you decide what to do? I personally think that without different perspectives the world would be too perfect. Then there would be more crimes and the world would be chaos.then without it how do we

In a way yes I have feared failure. I plan on getting out off school, and getting into college. I get worried when there is a test because I want to get full points, and pass the class. Yes I’m scared of failing out off school mostly because I’m never at school on time. I have the tendency to not make up past failing grades. If I am going to fail at something then obviously I wasn’t ready for what ever is was that I failed. I honestly believe everyone fails at something at one point of his or her lives, and it’s because they were not ready for it. When I fail at something it worries me because I don’t know if I can fix it or make it up, and it hurts my esteem, or my academic record. When I think about my future it scares me to think that I might not be able to get into college if I don’t have the money or a good academic record. There are times I know that I am not going to fail because I know I can do it if I put my mind to it.

Have you ever feared failure?

Yes. I have feared failure. Failure and rejection are one of my biggest fears. I fear them more than death. Like I would rather not date a boy then have to deal with the fear of rejection. When I fail, I think that everyone is going to think of me badly. Like school is one of my biggest things. There were the times where I would go to school, and I would still fail. After a while of that I just stopped going to school, because I would rather have them think I was a drop out them me failing. I hate to disappoint people. So I would just rather not do it then try and not be able to please everyone. I would rather just not do something I could fail at so I wouldn’t have to deal with the pain.
