man reading through this is making me pretty depressed.
fortunately, i haven't had too many hardships i have had to endure and i am grateful for that, but it's probably losing both of my grandfathers or trying to help my brother get by with his severe ADHD.... i had never experienced death before and when i was 12 or 13, my parents came up to visit me at sleepaway camp and told me that my grandpa died. I cried my eyes out for hours. I never wrote him a letter from camp before he died, and it bothered the hell outa me. My brother means the world to me, and his ADHD has restricted him from living the type of life a normal kid lives. Even though i do my best to help him and his confidence, it seems nothing can help him "feel normal"
