Mom
There are a few things no one wants to know. These things range from actual opinion of if they look fat in that dress to when they will die. But I have known something no child should ever know: that my mom will die when I turn 25, or have her chest cut open once more. I am 18 now.

Why Does My Dog Eat Everything?
I have two very gorgeous dogs. One of them is a rescue border collie and the other a golden retriever we got when she was a puppy. Our border does nothing at all. She sleeps then eats her food, then goes outside, then sleeps again and the cycle starts all over again. However our three year old golden retriever destroys anything. I have had to use the excuse the dog ate my homework many a times and it isn't even an excuse she actually eats my homework, alongside my textbooks and my glasses. A lot of people tell me, "Yeah, but it's your fault for leaving them lying around." Well tell me this then somebody who doesn't own a dog, how did she manage to get my glasses from the table, chew through the glasses case, and then chew my glasses? It is however, sometimes amusing when I come home and I can tell from the look in her eyes that she has done something bad and me trying to find what she has done like an amateur police TV drama, but then I remember I'm not on CSI and now I have a mess to clear up and she destroyed something potentially valuable. I also worry for the safety of her insides, all that debris she's eaten must have had some damage on her, oh wait I have to clear that up too when she vomits all over the rug. The list of things she has destroyed is:

Hair
My hair is what defines me. I can wear my hair any way I want, wherever I want, and whenever I want. I will not be told how I should style my hair based on what you think is acceptable. Just because I have my hair styled a certain way that you can't do does not mean it's weird. My hair should not be played with by you or your friend, it doesn't matter even if you ask me. If you ever feel the urge to touch my hair, do what Solange Knowles said and DON'T. My hair is not an ATTRACTION for you to take a picture of and share with your friends. Also, do not ever just walk up to me and begin touching my hair. I don't care who you are. My hair is me, so don't disrespect it.

Dear Dad
From a young age little girls are told that their dads are their first loves. It is a connection that we are told no one will be able to replicate. But what happens when that same man who we believe will love us forever breaks our heart before any other man has the chance to? I am one of those girls.

A Change in Heart
When you're a young girl, you dream of the fairy tale life and growing up to see your prince charming. It's not the reality of life that comes to your mind as a child, but the dream and the notion that things will turn out to be alright—or at least that's what I thought. At the age of 16, I was raped and the scare still haunts me to this day. I didn't know, one year after, that my past was going to come back and do it again. When I was 17 going on 18, I got pregnant from my attacker. At the time, I was living with one of my older siblings and I did know how I was going to explain to her about the little innocent angel I was carrying. I wasn't sure to keep the child or not, but everything in me said to keep it. Not many women would keep anything, no matter what it may be, that will remind them of the horror and violation they have endured. Instead, they either give it away for adoption or have an abortion. By making this decision, I mustered the courage to notify my sister. With one quick yell and a scream, she told me to get out of her house. Alone and pregnant, I decided to go to my other sister's house. With no hesitation, she took me in and I stayed with her, but that came out to be jumping into the frying pan, but missing it and jumping into the fire. Although my sister was loving and caring enough to take us in, she was dealing with her own issues that caused her children to be taken away.
