Christmas holidays have now begun so no school for me thank God! My last two weeks of school have not been the best I've had a lot to focus on inside and outside of school.
In school I had an Asthma attack a couple of weeks ago, at the same time a couple of the boys in school had been bullying a teacher as I was having my asthma attack I walked passed these boys to go to the school entrance after getting permission to leave because I was so ill. When I got home one of the teachers called asking what I had heard or seen, which was not much, I told her this, when I returned to school I was questioned for an hour missing my Law lesson. She told me that as she cannot decide who was or wasn;t involved I'd have withdrawal for two hours as would all the boys who the teacher who was being bullied had said was there, even though they all feel that I was not involved. I was p**sed, I told my Mum that I was not gonna go to school until it got sorted how is it if as she the teacher said to my Mum "this has been going on for a year" I have only been at the school since this September why am I being put in with the list of suspects? Thankfully My Mum sorted it and my withdrawal was cancelled.
So at home my Mum has been really unwell, she was meant to travel to Jamaica for Christmas with my Nan and I but her health got worse it does that when it's colder. Her pain was so bad that she was in bed most of the time and could not walk, I didn't want to go and leave my Mum alone because her carers had been cancelled for two weeks so I stayed home with her, it meant that i have had to do much more work for her, she can't cook or help herself out of bed when she is this ill so I have been doing what I can. Most days she can't even make it up the stairs to go to bed so she sleeps on the sofa. At times I have been late for school because I'm helping her but thankfully the teachers have understood. I get tired of waiting for things to get better, but this is it, our lives at the moment are not the best. My Mum got a visit with her social worker again I thought it might help a bit but they just made her cry again.
The highlight of my week has been Sean Paul the reggae musician following me on twitter, Choice FM giving me bare shout outs on the Max and Kojo breakfast show and visiting BBC Radio Wales to be interviewed about my life as a young carer. Who would have thought such a cool dude was a teacher, this is why I think there should be more male teachers as they don't shout as much they are more laid back and chilled.
They sent a car to pick us up when we got there they had a massive tree in the foyer it was proper posh, very different to what I am used to. There was security, marble floors and all sorts. Someone came to meet us took us up in the lift to the studio and then we met loads of people and went in to be interviewed. It wasn't so bad as Becki another young carer was with me she talked about her twin brother who has Autism and I spoke about my Mum's disease. Afterwards we had photos taken with Roy and I had a coffee it was naaaaahaaasty not drinking machine coffee again. When we got home my Mum said how proud of me she was the carers came and helped her to go to bed.
