"My Life"
  by: Nick

My name is Nick I am 18 and I have epilepsy. I have had a hard time with getting friends my whole life. I have had epilepsy my whole life. I have a vns which is a implant under the skin which runs up to your throat. What it does is it gives me a shock every 2 minutes. It does this to try and make it so I don't go into a seizure. Well I have not had a good time in school. People pick on me and beat on me some times I just want to stay home. I wish I do not have this problem but I guess there is nothing I can do about it. What I say is God does everything for a reason so there is something out there for me I just don't know what. I also say what goes around comes around so the people who pick on me will get what is coming to them. That is my story.
