Oh, this is a nice idea.

1. Moving from Newcastle to Brighton (6 years old) This was the first major change in my life. Most of my family live up in the Newcastle area and we are a big family. We are also a very close family, so as you can imagine, I was devastated. I'd just started making friends at reception, too. However, my Dad had been offered a better job so off we went.

2. Moving from Brighton to Essex (7 years old) I'd just began to settle down and make friends and accept Brighton as my new home when my Dad was offered a better job in Essex.

3. Starting Secondary School (12 years old) I went to your average secondary school. It wasn't exactly a good school but I chose not to do my 11+ because I wanted to go to the same school as the rest of my friends. I didn't even keep to the same group of friends, mostly. I was shy to begin with but as the years passed I became more and more of a social butterfly. I made a lot of friends in lots of different groups. I came out with some decent GCSE grades considering how crap the education was, though.

4. The destruction of my confidence (14 years old) I found out my teeth were really smurfed up. I had two teeth stuck in the roof of my mouth, meaning I would have to have both teeth either side of my two big teeth removed, so I'd be left with gaps whilst there were holes cut into the roof of my mouth so that the new teeth could grow down. Being a teenage girl this made me extremely uncomfortable with my looks and I rarely smiled, so people couldn't see my teeth. I never smiled in pictures. I even avoided some school trips abroad incase my brace broke and my gaps were more visible. I became shy around new people again. After my braces were removed (after three long years - 17 years old!) and my teeth were pretty =D I started to regain my confidence and smiling in photos, again.

5. The three ex-boyfriends (14-16 years old) In a way they all helped me decide what I really wanted.

6. The death of Taz (16 years old) Having never lost anybody close to me before in my life I struggled to deal with it begin with. He was the dog I'd had since I moved to Essex, and was part of the family. It broke my heart when he got cancer but it in the long run it made me stronger.

7. Loz (16 years old, 2006) The brother of one of my best friends from school. We grew close quickly, and began spending a lot of time together. We ended up being best friends and became a couple. <3

8. Quitting Sixth Form (17 years old, 2006) I hated it. It was the sixth form of my school, and the only reason I stayed there was because the other sixth form college I'd applied for told me I'd have to change my choice of subjects to go there because all of the ones I'd chosen were full. It resulted in me getting a job for the year but I ended up making a few friends from it and enough money to keep me going at the time so I'm not complaining~

9. Loz going to University & his car crash (17 years old) It was very hard to deal with at first. The trust issues, and it caused a lot of arguments and even a short break-up. However, we made it through. It made me realise that relationships aren't always going to be an easy ride. He crashed his car one evening after losing control because of some ice, the car flipped twice but amazingly Loz didn't have a scratch on him. The car was destroyed! It made me appreciate the fact that anybody important to me could be taken from me at any time so we all need to make the most of whatever time we have with our family & friends.

10. Starting College (17 years old) I started a new Health and Social Care Course.
