When I was homeless, I sort of walked around the city instead of staying in one spot too long. I collected cans and bottles that I could get a little money for, and sometimes I got lucky enough to find something sharp, so I could cut my shaggy hair. On the day it all began, I was walking at night to the spot where I usually slept, but there were a couple teenagers messing around there. They were p...

My intelligence defined me. People referred to me as ‘the smart one’ before they even learnt my name - Sandy. Because of this, I was always sent to the class for gifted students. But even those classes were too simple for me. In the fourth grade I was already doing college level courses in Science and Engineering. Easy Peasy!

It was a normal day at school when I had to go to the guidance counselor to talk about applying to colleges. I went in, super excited and ready, because I had been told that with my grades and accomplishments all I had to do was pick. My guidance counselor greeted me at the door to her office, saying “Hi sweetie! Let’s get started”. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free...

Have you ever been madly in love with someone but one day they just stop talking to you? Isn’t it the most horrible feeling in the world? Anna was my everything. We had been dating for a few weeks and one day she just disappeared. But the thing is, it’s not the first time that happened. Heather, Gina and Paige had all done the same thing to me. I was beginning to think that I just had terrible luc...

"Daddy I want a new bike so I can go visit my new girlfriend haha, my little brother chuckled." "Your what? just yesterday you were telling me the girls are gross you’re such a weird kid hahaha", my dad laughed. "You have a girlfriend so why can't I have one?", my brother replied while pointing to mom. Before I go on I have a question for you do you want to find true love someday? Visit https://ww...

I was very young when my parents started noticing something strange about my behavior. I was more moody than children should be normally and talked to myself a lot. So they took me to a psychiatrist for a thorough mental health checkup. It took a few trips and psychological tests and then they diagnosed me with multiple personality disorder. I don’t remember much but I remember my mom crying for d...

I used to work at the drive thru section of a fast food restaurant. I had just moved out of my parents house so I was living of from the weigh from there which was not a lot and the tips I got from costumers weren’t much either. But except for my boss I had fun people around so I loved working there. I was very kind and well-behaved in the workplace and with all kinds of customers, however I...

Growing up, my parents did always act a little strange. They weren't like your normal parents. Sometimes they were nice and fun, other times they would yell at me and ground me for days on end. Other times they saw things, like hallucinations. They'd talk to thin-air as if someone was standing there. Sometimes they would be in the living room, watching TV, and as I walked in they would stare at me...

My life turned out to be complicated and chaotic when I turned 16. It was then that I figured out a deep secret about myself that everyone in my family knew about except for me. My parents were very rich business people who had to travel all of the time so they didn’t have any time for me. Because of that as soon as I was born they had hired a woman as my nanny who took care of me and looked after...

“Mom, whyyyyy?” I whined like a three-year-old. “This is very important Ethan. I’m sorry that it’s an uncomfortable situation for you but you will be grateful in the end.” she answered. “My school is perfect already! I’ve made tons of awesome friends, my teachers are great and I’m the best one on the swim team! How can you change my school now? For no reason!” I continued. Visit https://www.storyt...

My sister Lorraine and I are one year apart but we grew up like twins. She was my best friend, my confidant and my cheerleader. We lived with our dad since our parents divorced 10 years ago. At home, we shared a room and we did almost everything together. While most of my friends were totally annoyed by their younger siblings – I wasn’t! She was a total joy! When it was time for me to go to colleg...

The crowd behind me was cheering loudly as we watched our school’s football team score again, putting us in the lead. I was busy cheering and chanting encouragement with my fellow cheerleaders when I felt someone touch my elbow. I turned around and saw Derek, one of the most popular guys at school. He wasn't a football player, he was just rich and brilliant. We chatted for a while, until he asked...

I was never a popular kid at school. I was just really awkward. Whenever someone spoke to me, I would get all nervous and start stuttering a lot. I was so annoyed with myself. I couldn't make any friends, and no one wanted to even bother talking to me because I was that weird kid. I believed my entire high school years would be terrible. I thought I would never be popular. That is, until I found t...

It was a beautiful autumn afternoon and I was on my way to my best friend Scylla’s house on my bike. A couple of us friends were gathering there to go cycling around the trail in the forest near her house. We used to go there every two weeks to get some fresh air and exercise. However, I was not as excited about cycling more than I was for something else. The thing was that I had a huge crush on S...

My parents always had big dreams for me. They wanted to make me the best gymnast so they had started training me ever since I was little and I was very good at it so they were dedicated towards the goal even more as I grew. They were very strict about my training routine and my eating habits. I had to train every day with exercise and running in the morning and evening. During the day I would have...

I faintly had the memory of how I used to play with kids my age when I was little. We used to play outside, go to one another’s birthday parties, and go to school together. I used to have people around me that I liked being around other than my parents. But things changed when I was 8 years old. We suddenly started moving from place to place, a new place, and a new home in a new neighborhood every...

One night, I was walking home after closing up the diner late at night. I hated working so late, but I needed all the money I could get for college. It was dark and foggy, which I found odd. Suddenly, as I was walking past an alley, someone touched my elbow. It was an old man. He smiled at me, but I honestly panicked when he reached into his pocket. I’m a tall guy, so I thought I could most defini...

Believe it or not, I was pregnant for 3 years. Sounds crazy? Well, it's true. My husband and I were always trying for a baby - we desperately wanted one but I never managed to get pregnant. It was so unfair, because all of my brothers and sisters were getting married and having beautiful children, but I was apparently unlucky. My husband and I were so scared we were infertile, but we still had hop...

“Every challenge you face today makes you stronger tomorrow.” said my dad while I tried to convince him to change my school. He thought he was wiser than the greatest Chinese philosophers and quite frankly it made me sick. We are wealthy but I don’t get to reap many rewards of that wealth. My parents grew up in poverty and worked their way up. Today my dad is a well renowned architect and my mom i...

Believe it or not, I had amnesia. It all started a couple of years ago, when I woke up at the hospital, with no memory of who I was. I remember opening my eyes and having no memory whatsoever. Imagine waking up and not even knowing your own name! The doctors told me they had found me on the side of the road, with a crack in my skull. A passerby called an ambulance and I was immediately taken into...

“Be on your best behavior, eat the veggies I packed for you and remember, stay away from girls!” my dad said to me on my first day of kindergarten. I’ve lived alone with my dad for as long as I can remember. Since I could understand English, he brainwashed me to become hateful towards girls. He’d say things like “Bernie, listen to me. Girls are gross and carry many diseases.”, “If you talk to girl...

I know that it’s probably every girl’s dream to find true love and get married to a charming, handsome man! We all have some sort of idea of what we want our weddings to be like. But we’d think of other things too right? Surely, there was more to a girl’s life than aspiring to get married. Wrong! Bouquets, corsages, bridesmaids, cake, garlands! All I could think about was my wedding day. I was obs...

I moved out of my house in a hurry instantly as I turned 18. It was mostly because my family was very disturbing as my father was out drinking all the time and my step-mom was complaining all the time. It was a very toxic environment so there was nothing for me there and no one cared about me so I just left. And since everything happened so quickly I didn’t think of or planned for my financial sec...

“Colin! Something came in the mail for you!” my mom shouted. “Coming mom!” I said as I rushed downstairs. When I reached the dining room she handed me an envelope addressed from my dream college. This was the letter I had been waiting for! I grabbed it nervously and opened it as quickly as I could. Visit https://www.storytimeanimated.com/members to enjoy ad free listening. Hosted on Acast.
