Excerpt
Thursday 2nd
Mum bought me this diary for my birthday. I needed a new one, I love the pink suede cover. Didn’t get a card from dad, wasn’t excepting anything though. The school has agreed to let me have two afternoons off a week so that I can go see Dr F. lousy shrink. He doesn’t help. He doesn’t know anything about whatever mental problems I might have. He doesn’t even like me.
Saturday 4th
School starts again in two days. Crap. I hate that place. I’ve been drinking a litre of vodka almost every day this shitty Christmas holiday. Mum hasn’t even noticed. She’s been too busy with Mark, little brat. My best friends haven't even been here. They gave me my birthday presents at the same time with Christmas present. I didn’t want a party or anything. The only good thing about going back to school is that I can see my so-called best friends Lauren, Amy, Melanie, Rob and Joel.
