: About Me

I'm a 15 year old Belgian girl born in 1992.
I know that I'm still young
and I can't say much about my experiences in this life.
But well, I have 15 years of experience now
and I guess that 10 years of those I don't even remember
but there are parts I will never forget.

The oldest thing I remember is when my mother got pregnant from my sister
(I am the oldest child so I was used to being alone)
first I cried a lot because I thought she would get more attention than me. Then some months later I went shopping with my mother for baby clothes.
Then, right in front of the door my mother slipped over a stair and she fell down. I guess it was one of the most scary moments ever, even I (4 years old by then) realized what could happen to my mother or my unborn sister.
but my sister survived and my mother is healthy again.

Then when I went to school and my friends started caring about popularity I got dumped by all of them. I was too ugly, didn't have sense of humor and I was growing too fast. When I was 6 I already had all my adult teeth, and it looked ridiculous. When I think back about it I find them more ridiculous, because they didn't have any teeth at all. Anyway, I spent atleast 4 years without friends. All I did was writing stories, and because I didn't get in contact with other children (except in class) I got a lot of problems. I didn't know how to talk or react to children of my age and it was easier for me to get along with adults. Until I became 12 and went to another school.
Just like the other children of that age I became meaner and I wanted to feel better than I was. And as dumb as I was, I tried to own the popular children, so people would like me. Because of this I got in trouble. People locked me up in bathrooms, beat me up and gave me notes they would kill me. Now everyone is growing up and becoming smarter and nicer. So even I have friends by now.

And actually, that's everything I've gone through in life by now. I don't have much hobbies. I love Dutch and English class. We often have to write poems or stories, and those are the things I manage to get good grades on. I study Economy-Math. But I'm not interested in it. Next year I am going to study Languages, I'm even looking forward to it.

I spend my time on msn talking to my Norwegian boyfriend. I don't need to go out every evening and drink myself to death. But I guess it's not good either to be on msn all the time. But I guess that as soon as it's possible to see my boyfriend in real life more often, I'll go out more and spend less time on msn, or even stop with it.

Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Tips How the Internet has changed home life

26 of 29

When my parents were still young, they used to play on the street with the neighbors while all the parents were talking to each other. It was one big family. Families were always together. They talked, ate lunch and dinner together and spend their spare time together. Now children come home from school, watch TV, eat dinner, make some homework and the rest of the evening they spend on the Internet. I think it's mostly children who are addicted to Internet because they grew up with it. Parents find it normal these days they only see their children when it's dinnertime, but is it really so n...
