Друзья - это все для меня. Жизнь не стоит без друзей. Моя семья обо мне не заботятся, и, честно говоря, меня тоже не волнует. Единственное, о чем они заботятся, это их работа и зарабатывание денег. Даже мои оценки в школе их не волнуют. Иногда они спрашивают меня о моем прогрессе, но я не уверен, услышат ли они мой ответ. Я бы чувствовал себя абсолютно одиноким, если бы у меня не было друзей. Мы часто собираемся у меня или где-то еще, чтобы говорить о жизни, слушать музыку и веселиться. Иногда мы ссоримся, но я не верю, что мои друзья хотят причинить мне боль. Жизнь с ними крута.
Friends are everything to me. Life is without friends. My family is not taking care of me, and frankly, I don't care. The only thing they care about is their jobs and making money. Even my grades at school they don't care about. Sometimes they ask me about my progress, but I'm not sure whether they will hear my response. I would feel absolutely lonely if I had no friends. We often gather at my place or somewhere else to talk about life, listen to music and have fun. Sometimes we fight, but I don't believe that my friends want to hurt me. Life with them is cool.

Mommy told me never to go into the basement, but I wanted to see what was making that noise. It kind of sounded like a puppy, and I wanted to see the puppy, so I opened the basement door and tiptoed down a bit. I didn’t see a puppy, and then Mommy yanked me out of the basement and yelled at me. Mommy had never yelled at me before, and it made me sad and I cried. Then Mommy told me never to go into the basement again, and she gave me a cookie. That made me feel better, so I didn’t ask her why the boy in the basement was making noises like a puppy, or why he had no hands or feet.
