Here to help + my story

Hey guys, my name's Arielle, I'm 17 years old and live in Australia. I just wanna tell you a bit of my story. I haven’t had the best of years growing up, countless family issues that just don’t seem to ever end. I’ve been constantly bullied all through primary and high school years, for reasons that I don’t even know myself. I don’t know what I want in life. All I know is that I want to help people. I live to help others. I speak to people in all different countries on forums like this, yahoo, Skype, email, people I will probably never ever get the chance to meet. Me knowing that I have impacted on someone's life, whether it's helping decide on what they want to eat, or if I've just stopped someone from killing themselves is the best feeling I have ever felt. That’s what gets me out of bed in the morning, that's what motivates me. My father was an abusive alcoholic. I lived in and out of home from the age of 11, because I cannot tolerate my father. Just before Christmas 2012 I flew down to my mums house, packed up her house, and drove my mother, my 3 younger siblings and our pets away from her house to start a new life. I only just got my licence and drove 17 hours straight. I hounded her for months, years. And finally she’s done it. I couldn’t be more proud of her for leaving. But I’m not happy I don’t know if I will ever be. But as long as everyone around me is happy. Then that’s good enough for me. I've been through so much in such a short period of time, probably more than average. So I understand what any of you may be going through, and I wanna help you. If you wanna chat, you can message me on here. Or email me at [e-mail address removed] "Even though it may not seem like it, things will get better."

Helping others is a great way to make a positive impact, just don't forget that a nurturer still needs to be nurtured :)

i think its great for you to want to help others. and in helping others you are helping yourself. so keep on doing it and you will be blessed 10 times more. good luck
