Hey man,

Life is pretty messed up, isn't it? You should talk to someone about how you never do your homework. Ask them to stop with the discipline, and try to find a solution. And tell an adult, like your teacher, that everyone calls you a faggot, and it makes you feel like crap. Tell them you're in a constant state of fear, and you always feel threatened. If you don't talk about it, it won't go away, and you'll be an extremely paranoid adult. Don't move to Edmonton with your mom. She's amazing, but you need a better life than what you'll get out there. It's where you start to use drugs, and smoke, and steal. But, Ontario isnt that great either. I'm not sure anywhere would be that great. Everywhere you go, you are constantly harrassed. It's not a wonder you turn to drugs at such a young age. You should try not to. I know the bad kids are the only ones who are sort of sometimes nice to you, but they will only get you in trouble. I wish I knew what to say to you to make the pain stop. I think back to when I was you, and I remember hating my life, and myself, everyday. Hmm
Your dad can be a cool guy, if you do as he says. Trust me, you should. I know it totally sucks, but he's right. But, you just grow tired of how majority of your experiences have been, that you no longer care about right and wrong. Tou just want to do anything that feels good. I get it, I was there. But I swear, if you just work hard, and you keep going on a solid, responsible path, that you wont end up like me. You can actually do something with your life. You can find happiness. You just have to sacrifice, and dedicate.
Understand that not everything in life will go how you want it to, but if you do your best, it will work out for the best. Or atleast I think it will. I did my worst, and got this
Heed my message, little me.
