Life as a teenager

Holidays to Butlins, Skegness were one of the very few good things about my childhood. We used to enjoy going swimming, to see people dressed as giant cartoon characters. We even met the guy with the blue puppet thing from Playdays. lol. I remember one photo inparticular of mum when we were on holiday. It was taken in the caravan we stayed in. Mum was alot bigger then and was stuffing her face with fish, chips and buttered bread. lol.
Of course, as i entered my teenage years, the holidays became less frequent. I entered a rebellious stage in my life. I would argue with mum and dad if i didn't agree with something they said. I remember when i was about 12-13 i was so angry with dad as i felt he was picking on me for no reason, so i yelled down the stairs to him to just f**k off and leave me alone. with that, he stormed up the stairs into my room and gave me one heck of a beating on the backside. lol. Another time when i was 15, i had been arguing with my mum so she called me a prostitute (i know, terrible isn't it). Of course i wasn't going to stand for that, so i slapped her hard across the face and refused to talk to her for 2 whole months. She thought she could make it up to me with a can of coke and packet of crisps. lol.
When i was 16 i left high school having passed all of my GCSE's. I then went onto college to study the BTECH 1st diploma in Performing Arts and i also worked part time at my local tesco supermarket. It was at college i got my first boyfriend (which only lasted about 3 months. lol). I didn't have much of a social life because of this, but i didn't mind. Anything had to be better than being at home.
I left home shortly after that just before i turned 17 and found myself in Southend. I stayed with a friend at a friend of hers and dated a few guys during my time in Southend. One of the guys i dated i ended up splitting with because when i was 17, (not only did he slap me hard across the face) but a friend of his (who was p'd off because he wanted his sister to be with the guy i was with instead of me) spotted me one day when i was out with a friend and knocked me down in the middle of the street with his car. Luckily i wasn't hurt to bad. Just a few bruises. lol. The guy i was with didn't believe that his friend would do such a thing. So we split. Lucky me. lol.
I ended up moving back to Chelmsford for a while. I went from the night shelter to my aunt and uncles in Danbury...........To be continued
