Okay. Well, it's time for a change I guess you can say. I am Amanda, gonna turn 16 soon, but for now I am 15. I have many goals in my life. One of many is to write a novel/memoir about my past. I have been through a lot. I do have mental illnesses, but it's who I am I guess. I started going to mental hospitals since I was 8 years old. I last went Feburary. I hope I am done going. My mom and I aren't exactly close, but I HATE everyone on my father's side including him, and will not claim them. He isn't on my birth certificate so I will just say I don't know him. I am the type to speak my mind ..on-line, but off-line I keep to myself. I have yahoo messenger only for now, but will get aim and msn going soon. :)
