I've been thinking about my life, I may have all these awards, high grades, and high honours, but I am depressed because I've realized I haven't had a best friend(s) since public school. Someone that would listen to you whenever you had problems, someone who was always there for you no matter what. But then high school came, my parents wanted me in a special ed program which I now regret because in the last years of high school I proved I'm fully capable without it. My home town school didn't have it so I had to go on a 1 hour van ride every morning and afternoon for Huron Heights Secondary School, I hated that school so grade 10 I made a triumphant return to my home town, at first it was great to be reunited, but then... just because I was absent a full year, they turned on me and that was that. Since then I've had friends, but none who wanted to listen or wanted to be there for me when I needed them. The past few months I have been alone and isolated as I am no longer in school, I didn't go off to college or university (or the army for that matter) and have no job.
