If you’re reading this then thanks! I’ve never really kept a diary of any sort, let alone an internet based one! The reason for me to start this actually a really mundane one. My sister came home for the summer from university last night, and within 24hrs, she did what she did best, drive a wedge between my folks and me!
But more of that later. 1st off, I’m OverlookedTeen. I’d use my real name, but i don’t REALLY want people that know me to know about this. I’m a 17-year-old boy living in the UK in a REALLY small villiage. I have a mum, dad and older sister.
I’m a private person, and actually quite a quiet person, until you get to know me, then I’m rhe extrovert of any group. I’ve never been in love, and I’ve been single for the last 4 years, as i went to an all boys school. I’m fairly feminine, and it wouldn’t be unfair to say I’m camp, but I’m not gay! This is an issue with most people when they meet me. It’s irritating, as i was bullied quite badly for 5 years at the all boys school aforementioned. I don’t care about the taunts, they took nothing from me, but the damage to my confidence is something I’ll be eternally jaded about.
I like drawing, comic characters mostly, I wish i could regress to a nicer time, like wheni was in proimary school, when (unlike the 5-years of torture) I had a lot of friends. God! So much to explain! OK, I went to my secondary school with none of my friends from primary school. I didn’t mind at first, as i thought I@d just make new friends. But the people I wanted to be friends with didn’t like me, and already had their own groups of friends. So anyway, a year passed, and i didn’t tell my parents that I’d been bullied, because i didn’t want them to know. Well, I didn’t want my mum to know. I don’t really talk to my dad, but more on that later.
SO the years passed, and i eventually got a group of friends, but tehy were a year below me. That was more fuel for the bullies “Go talk your year 9 friends” etc etc. But that didn’t bother me. Friends aren’t judged by how old they are! I was always a talented boy, especially in maths, but i didn’t want to stand out, so I coasted along, slipping back into the pack. I do regret that, as my exams results were less the desireable. Not bad, but not good. I got (for GCSE) an A*, 6B’s, 3C’s, and a D.
I left my school, a broken child, who took their anger out on those around him, namely my parents. But then I got to college, and everything changed. On the bus I met a girl who is a great friend. I don’t really speak to her THAT much, but i know that I can if i want to, or have a problem. But I’m stubborn, and never ask people for help that know me. I’m always the happy-go-lucky one. Anyway, I found a group that would accept me, and I’ve never been happier. Theres 10 of us in our groupand i get one with every single one of them. Then theres the casual friend that are friends in classes taht i have, but only an occasional “hi!” if i see them in corridors. But thats kool! I don’t get bullied at all now though, so i know that it was a good move for me to go there. Whats better, is that I was elected onto the student council. It may seem a bit geeky, but it WAS a vote by the entire college, because I (and 11 others) are now in charge of all school social events, which is a really good thing! But it made me feel accepted finally. I didn’t make president, but i did make it!
Ok, so now you know the major events in my life, a bit about me, so heres the problem i have at the moment.
My sister went to university last october, and we got along great. I went up to see her once, and it was fine. but whenever she comes home it’s a warzone. She is the most manipulative shrew that i know (and i made our entire year believe a boy ate hair!!)
So she got home yesterday, and her room was filled with all her stuff from uni, so she asked if she could watch TV in my room, and i was like “sure!” everything was ok, she went to bed, and blah blah blah…
Then earier tonight, she came in my room, and demanded my TV arial (mine was playing up) So i begrudgingly gave it o her, and then said that I’d have to watch Big brother in her room tonight, as I couldn’t watch it. That’s when she point blank refused. So i was in her room, trying to get her to see things from my room (I DID let her in my room for like 2hrs the previous night after all) And then she resorted to a trick taht a 6-year-old would resort to. Screaming “GET OUT MY ROOM! YOU’RE NOT ALOUD IN HERE! MUM!!!!!!” so I left her room and went to mine (just opposite) and then I got told off for going in her room. And i mean REALLY! there are wars in Africa and Sudan and my mum thinks that the worst thing in the world is that i went into my sisters room to ask a favour. Tsk!
I went online for a while adn then i saw my sister was watching a DVD, so again i asked her for a favour, but this time to borwo her arial back. YET MORE SCREAMING! Then my mum comes up and say to my sister teat what she was doing was a bit out of order,. To which she starting lying about what i had said. SO I opened my bedroom door and said, shut up you lying cow! what the hell is your problem!
Next thing you know, my mms starts having a go at me, saying how i always want things my way,.. then she went on to say that i was lazy, and all I ever did was watch TV and eat. So i slammed my door in her face, as i wasn’t gonna get insulted for sweet fuck all!
And taht’s when i started this blog. So if anyone has any tips for me, I’d really appreciate it!
Yours,
OLT
