Who am I?
Mum, Dad and I had just moved to St Ives from Plymouth. It wasn't very far away but it did mean that I had to make new friends. For me, this proved to be very hard. I'd only just made friends back in Plymouth. For a 14-year-old teenage boy, who had been the one last to be picked for football teams, and whom everyone thought didn't exist because I was so quiet, St Ives was going to be a big challenge. However, it was going to be more of a battle than I ever imagined.
My first day at my new school was a disaster from the moment I was awoken by my alarm. First off, it was raining. And mum had already gone to work so she couldn't give me a lift. Plus there was no point even asking dad, because I knew he would say no. I sometimes even wonder if he cares about me at all. He acts as if im not even there half the time, we certainly don't have the father-son relationship some children have.
