I didn’t have the best start in life. My parents were very poor. We lived in a very small house and life was a struggle. But then one day that all changed. My life suddenly got a whole lot better. I had always been jealous of the other kids at my school. Whatever they wanted, they got. They all had the trendiest clothes and the latest new phone. I didn’t even have a phone. All my clothes were hand...

I’m Joseph and I’m only fourteen years old but I’ve had quite a rough life so far. When I was three years old, my parents died in a plane crash and nobody else in my family wanted to take care of me. So I was sent straight into foster care. I’ve been in and out of several foster homes and I’ve never been lucky enough to get adopted. But I’m okay though. For the past three years I’ve been sharing a...

I have always been a bit of a loner. I was the girl that no one ever wanted to be friends with, and quite frankly I didn’t care really. I wasn’t bothered about having lots of friends. I had something better than that. I had a secret crush. When I was at school, I was always the girl sitting in the corner on her own eating her lunch. It had always been that way. I was used to it. I had one friend,...

I wasn’t a very good student. I was always getting into trouble at school. I spent a lot of my days being sent to the principal’s office. But the worst thing that happened was the time I got locked in my classroom overnight. The day had started off quite well. I woke up on time for a change. Normally I would be running out of the house with a piece of toast in my mouth, hoping to get to school bef...

I grew up poor. And when I say poor, I mean poor. I was homeless. My parents had abandoned me when I was just a toddler. My uncle had managed to raise me himself, but eventually he died when I was just 13 years old. I didn't want to move into a foster home, and definitely not an orphanage, so I decided to run away. I learned to live on my own, and I managed to get by. But it was hard. Very hard. L...

Mr. Anderson was my favourite teacher. He taught History class, and he always seemed to make the most boring subjects feel so interesting. He was by far the best teacher at my school - maybe even the country. But he was hiding a secret from all of us. A disturbing truth. But, more on that later. I wasn't exactly a good student. I mean, sure, I wasn't one of the worst students, but I wasn't exactly...

My brother Tom and I had always been close. We did everything together. Growing up we were never apart. I couldn’t imagine my life without him. I never thought I would one day have to choose between saving his life or my girlfriend's. We grew up in a small country town. There weren't many kids in our area. The local school only had 50 students. I think that's why my brother Tom and I spent all of...

I always knew my Mom didn’t really want me. You see, when I was born, Mom already had two daughters. My older sisters Liane and Kelly. The last thing she needed was another daughter. I knew she had really wanted a baby boy. It was no surprise when I found out she was trying to replace me. I think I was about 4 years old when I first realised I was a disappointment to my parents. Oh, they never mad...

My childhood was pretty basic. If anything, it was worse than basic. But everything changed one day, and I ended up becoming a billionaire. But more on that later. Make sure you stay tuned til the end of the video to find out how all of that craziness happened. So, my childhood was way below average. I was an orphan, you see. My parents had abandoned me at the orphanage. My caretaker told me they...

My school used to hold loads of dances. My friends would always be on the dancefloor, surrounded by boys, but I preferred to stay on the side drinking punch. It’s not that I wasn’t pretty, I knew I was just as pretty as my friends, I just didn’t care about boys. Like, at all. When I saw my friends with their boyfriends, I gagged. They all looked super gross to me. But that’s mostly because my frie...

Before I was born my dad named me Eva which means “life”. See, my mother died in childbirth and although I was born prematurely, I survived. Since then, my heartbroken father took excellent care of me. The bond we shared was unlike any other. He taught me how to speak, walk, read, ride a bicycle - almost everything. He’d dress up in princess costumes when I decided we should have tea parties with...

Ever since I could remember, it was just me and my mom. My dad abandoned us when I was just a baby, and my mom never had any other boyfriends. As you can expect, mom and I were really close, and I actually liked that there was no one else around - that way, I had my mom all to myself. Though, sometimes I would feel jealous of the other kids whenever they had their brothers or sisters to play with....

My sister and I never really ever got on. She is 5 years older than me. I wanted to be her friend but she was so mean to me. You won’t believe the mean things she has done to me. It all started the day I was born. Mom and Dad rushed to the hospital the morning I was born. My sister Louise stayed at home with my Grandma. Later in the afternoon, Grandma brought Louise to see me. She took one look at...

I pretty much had a normal childhood. I can't really remember what it was like growing up as a toddler, but my older years were full of warm memories and fun times. My mum and dad were pretty much my best friends. We had so much fun together - we'd play board games, go surfing, eat out at delicious diners. My parents were pretty much the best. I know a lot of teens complain about their parents or...

When I was 13, I discovered that I could read the minds of boys. According to my mother, it ran in the women in our family. My mom thought it would be a good idea to let me know rather than have me figure it out on my own. “Your grandma didn’t give me any information about this and I thought I was losing my mind when I had to find it on my own,” she told me when we had the talk. And you know what?...

For as long as I could remember, it was just me and my mom. My dad left when my mom was pregnant, and I could never forgive him for what he did to my mom. She had to raise me all on her own, and to make matters worse, she had a low-paying job and lived in a really bad part of town. Things were tough. My dad had abandoned me and my mom, and we were really poor. But then something happened that chan...

Let me tell you how it all began. I grew up in Florida. My life was amazing. I was an only child and my parents adored me. They gave me everything I always wanted. I had the best clothes and the latest phone. I was captai...

I got to be the captain of my college cheer team in my freshman year of college which was a pretty big deal for me. It opened a lot of opportunities for me from gaining friends, popularity, and even travels. I had always imagined a perfect life and that was exactly what I had gotten. I was fairly attractive according to the standards of society. I was very popular in college and everyone was nice...

Hi. My name is Jack, and my family is pretty crazy. And not in the usual, "oh they're so annoying" way. No, my family is crazy, because they have been hiding their secret criminal life from me for years. Growing up, life was pretty normal. I went to school, I hung out with my friends, I played video games. My parents were pretty normal people. They went to work, they had 9 to 5 jobs, and they were...

So, I am a stay at home mom. I have a gorgeous cheeky little boy called Bobby. He is 3 years old and an absolute angel. When I say that I am a “stay at home” mom, I literally mean, stay at home. You see, we can’t leave the house. “Why?” you ask, because I have to keep my son hidden. He is 3 years old and on the FBI’s most wanted list! Let me start at the beginning. I had always led a busy social l...

My family is rich. And when I say rich, I mean mega rich. We own dozens of houses and properties all across the globe. My parents are the heads of a huge trading company. My grandfather was a car manufacturer. I live in a mansion, overlooking an ocean view, and we have seven bedrooms and an indoor cinema. I am rich. My family is rich. But it wasn't always that way. Years ago, we were one of the po...

I slammed the door of my dad’s car shut and immediately put earbuds in. I didn’t want to hear a word from my parents for the next few hours until we arrived at least. I couldn’t believe they were forcing me to move from one of the most modern cities to a dusty, crusty old town. I watched the scenery while listening to my calming music, honestly pretending to be living in a music video. We’ve all d...

I was every parent’s dream child. As a baby I only cried if I was hungry or tired. Sometimes my parents would open my bedroom door to find me in my crib laughing at nothing. They always thought it was weird but they appreciated it. They never lost sleep or fought about who had to wake up to feed me. My mom and dad believed that as I got older I started to have imaginary friends. At the table I’d a...

I remember my first day of kindergarten like it was yesterday. You might think that I’m completely ridiculous for saying this since I’m already seventeen years old. “Marcus, pay attention to what I’m saying. Naughty children get punished here if they don’t listen!” my mean teacher Miss Colton said. I think she hated her job. But I couldn’t focus. I was too busy looking at Maya. She was the most be...

Hi, I'm Sally. And, I'm not your typical girl. I have three sisters - Sophia, Sharron, and Sandy. Yes, my parents thought it would be cute to have all our names start with the letter 's'. Frankly, I find it annoying. We're quadruplets, meaning we were all born at the same time. We're very close. Oh yes, and did I mention we're conjoined quadruplets? My parents weren't expecting quadruplets. When m...
