The 3rd December 1992 (today 15 years ago, at least it's today where I live ) Emma was born. She lived with her mum and dad in a flat in Finland. Nothing really happened as far as I know.
November 1994. Her sister who was born on the 10th November nearly died the same day. When her sister, Sonja, was born, the nurses didn't think that she would make it. So Sonja was 18 minutes without oxygen. Guess what happened then? The nurses realized that, oh wait, maybe she'll make it! Sonja was put in this oxygen thingy, but something had already gone wrong in her brain. That's what happen if you're 18 minutes without oxygen. She became a invalid. Can't walk properly, can't speak properly.
July 1997. Emma was only 4 years old. Her mum died in cancer. Her dad got depressed. Everything was like hell. Emma didn't know it then, she was so young.
At the age of 6, Emma started school. She was a great student. She helped her sister a lot, maybe too much, but what could she do when her dad was so down, and no mother around?
Emma's father found a new "girlfriend" and the family moved. Emma didn't like the new mom and imagined how it would be if her mum wouldn't have died. She never talked much with her parents (dad) and kept things inside. A smiley face on the cover.
2005. Emma's mum's (the one who died) cousin died. Emma was quite close with this mum's cousin, spent a lot of time with her and her daughter who was in the same age as Emma.
Something went wrong. She couldn't take it anymore. She got depressed, never got help, she didn't want to. Was embarrassed. She isn't seeing any therapist etc. nowadays either. but yeah, it went wrong, depression. Cutting. So many times that she would have like to fall into her dad's arms and cry. Tell him about the cutting. But no.
Then. 2006. She found out about Paramore. And these boards and now she's writing her story, which isn't anything compared with many others... She still struggles with cutting and depression. But it's going forward.
Today she turned 15. Everybody are so nice. Why can't she be happy?
