Let’s play the “who has it worse” game- I’ll go first.
I peed my pants in kindergarten,
I was made fun of because I didn’t wear a bra till fifth grade and
I barely could keep up with the latest trends!

Are these too easy, cause I can make it worse? Okay, I’ll bump it up a few notches.
I lost my childhood dog in sixth grade,
I was called fat for most of my K-12 life, and
I had to work in customer service throughout high school.

Still not bad enough? Okay, next round every time I list something relatable, take a shot of *****, neat.

My father left my family when I was 10 to work in Utah for the next seven years and we rarely saw him,
my younger brother abused me emotionally and physically until I left for college, and
my ex- girlfriend tricked me into staying in an abuse relationship with her
because we were a power couple.

Anyone drunk yet?
