Emma

                                    

                                          
My name is Emma Coltan. I'm sixteen and just moved to the south side of Chicago. 
                          
I have blond hair that goes halfway down my back, blue grey eyes, and freckles underneath them. 
                          
I used to live on the east side of Cleveland so not much of a change in the neighborhood. 
                          
I live with my low life mother who would rather buy crack than food for her only children. 
                          
My dad walked out before I could meet him. He was ( I'm assuming ) just as much as a low life as my mother. 
                          
I have a older brother. His name is Ethan. He's 17 and I'm pretty sure he's secretly gay. He's never had a girlfriend and talks about hot guy celebrities with me. 
                          
I haven't walked the neighborhood yet, and I'm not scared like other girls would be. 
                          
I'm not your average teenage girl, I don't fangirl over boy bands or paint my walls pink.
When you live your whole life in poverty it makes you hard. 
                          
Most of the upper class families would assume I get bad grades. Get arrested 24/7 and vandalize shit but most of that isn't true. 
I've smoked weed and still do but who doesn't? I drink beer but that's not a big deal. I'm smart, I get straight A's. I'm going into 10th grade. 
                          
I've been to juvie for three months because I ran away from my foster home at the time. When they found me I had some drugs on me that I was selling to get food. 
                          
Juvie was bad. It was full of teenage criminals who ate any fresh meat they saw.
                          
Since I didn't dime on who I got the drugs from, I got some respect there. 
                          
I made it out with a couple scars and black eyes but who cares. Now I know I can win any fight i want to. 
                          
I've never vandalized anything and I have manners when needed. Although if some adult is a dick to me I'm gonna be a dick back. 
                          
That's pretty much it.

I wrote this when I was literally like 13 years old.  It can be pretty cheesy and cringey at parts. Overall it's got a good structure and lots of people enjoy as do I but again, I was 13. so feel free to laugh WITH me about my 13 year old endeavors, however please don't try to bully me over it and just enjoy reading!
