• Today is another day where everything is the same , no surprises . My name is Sara . Let me tell you about my family and how bad it is . My dad is a drug addict who doesn't have a job . My mom is the same and she sleeps in other peoples houses . My brother Brandon sleeps with girls, goes out to parties and clubs . I'm 13 and taking care of myself . My family still has a house but it's very ugly and small . I live at a very unsafe neighborhood . You can always hear shouting , crying , gun shots , and all that bad stuff . Anyways , I bet your wondering who pays for our house ? Well , my mom and dad and sometimes Brandon asks their friends or any person for money . It's very embarrassing that my parents can't even pay for a house . I myself have a job , I know and 13 year old girl ? Well anyways , I clean peoples houses 3 times a week , I get two dollars every hour . I know it's very little but at least I can help my family and myself . I buy my own food most of the time and live alone when no ones at my house . I go to a school called London Way middle school , the name may sound all nice but it's a crappy school . I have a best friend and her name is Dana . She's like a sister to me , we kind of live the same way but her mom actually cares for her . She had told me a secret and I don't think she should keep it a secret especially from her mom . Her secret was that she had gotten raped by her dad when she was 12 when her mom wasn't home . Her dad died from a car accident . Luckily , she's the only child in her family ( TO BE CONTIUED).
