I Am A Girl Page #3

my style and stuff like that.

I have about, like,

2000 and something followers.

I don't think that's a lot.

I think I should have

way more followers,

so I'm working on, you know,

expanding my followers.

But also Facebook,

I still have to go on Facebook,

because it's a social network

and, you know, publicity

and everything, so.

I don't really like to post

where I'm at or what I'm doing

because I feel like,

it's none of your business.

Boys, they always want to go further,

like, oh, OK, so she said thank you,

so let me ask her where she's from.

"So, where you from?"

Then they want to have a whole

full-on conversation on Instagram.

And, like, I don't want to,

you know, have a full conversation.

Like, you gave me a compliment,

that was so nice, I appreciate it,

I said thank you. That's it.

I met my ex-boyfriend on Facebook.

He inboxed me and he said,

"Oh, I think you're really beautiful."

And I'm like, "Thank you."

After that, you know,

we started talking.

And as soon as I, like, seen him,

he's like, "Oh, I want you

to be my girlfriend."

I'm like, I just met you in person.

I don't know about that.

So, like, the second time I seen him,

that's when I said yes.

And at first, when I got home

after that day,

I'm like, "Did I really just do that?"

Like, yeah, something is wrong with me.

But I'll see how it goes. I'm young,

what's the worst that can happen?

This is supposed to be fun, right?

Things were good, and then he started

being really overprotective.

Like, I couldn't wear skirts

and I couldn't wear leggings

and I couldn't wear certain shirts.

I couldn't go certain places.

I had to be home by a certain time.

And like on Facebook, like,

all he talked about was me, a lot.

At first, I'm like,

"Aww, that is so sweet.

"He talks about me all the time."

But then, it started

getting a little bit creepy,

like when he would head-butt the wall

and stuff and punch the wall.

That wasn't one time,

that was a regular thing.

Cos, like, things I would say,

he would get mad about anything.

I was like, OK, I'm gonna leave.

I'm not gonna speak to him anymore,

and that's done.

Then, like, two weeks later,

you see on Facebook,

"Oh, Breani went from single

to back in a relationship."

Everybody's like, "Oh, my god,

you two are so annoying."

Facebook was in, like, our relationship.

People would inbox me, like,

"What's going on with you two?"

And it's like, "I don't even know you."

And people would post on my wall,

"You and your boyfriend are so cute."

But they don't know what goes on

behind closed doors.

It was really kind of intense

and it's like, I'm 16,

and this is really happening to me.

But, you know, you live, you learn.

When I'm walking down the street,

I get good looks and bad looks.

And a lot of times, you know,

the girls will look, like,

"Oh, yeah, she thinks she's all that."

And then other girls will be,

like, "Wow, you're pretty."

Every artist has, you know,

their song about haters,

because they're everywhere.

I know I haven't got my full share

of haters yet,

but the more that I do,

the more successful that I become,

and the more I achieve,

they kind of come and, you know,

try to bring me down.

OK.

Haters are the motivation

I ain't got time for no confrontations

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

you know how they do

Always stop and staring

when I come through

Blow them kisses to my haters

Cos I love all of my haters

I blow them kisses to my haters

Then I wave my hand

and tell them "See you later"

Blow them kisses to my haters

Cos I love all of my haters

I blow them kisses to my haters

Then I wave my hand

and tell them "See you later."

As far as, like, Facebook

and the internet,

before, I did have haters,

but they were like...

friends that I'm no longer friends with.

You know, they would say

like, hateful stuff

just to try and bring me down,

but I don't think anybody in this world

could ever bring me down.

The only person I think

that can bring me down is myself.

Yeah.

Cos I love all of my haters

I blow them kisses to my haters

Then I wave my hand

and tell them "See you later."

I'm just excited about Breani's song

and being in the studio with her.

And I think it's gonna go far.

And I'm going to work

on her internet image...

managing it, so people's gonna

start seeing her more.

I'm gonna put her out there,

cos I've been really holding back.

But I'm ready now,

and I think she's ready too.

So look out for us.

Cos we coming.

Keep your head up

Pay no attention

They start to get fed up

I'll come through Oh, so spicy

You can't trust many

Never know who's shiesty

But I like that boom-boom

Makes things go zoom-zoom

Kinda like a caterpillar

in a cocoon-coon

More than one princess?

There was no room

And I'm kicking competition

With my pretty pink broom-broom!

OK.

OK, break time.

We'll go in that one.

We know that street.

Katie?

Dinner's just about ready.

No, I finished all...

Mum, I finished all my classes.

What, what?

The main way I deal

with my depression and anxiety,

when I start to feel really upset

or really anxious, is my family.

The first person I always go to

is my mum

because she's quite a realist.

So, you know, gives me a bit

of a metaphorical slap on the face

and, yeah, gets me back

into the right perspective.

But also, my friends

have been super helpful.

They always make me feel

so much better about myself,

cos they remind me that I am loved

and that, you know, I am a good person

and all those kind of things.

I'm currently still on anti-depressants

to help me with my mood

because even though emotionally,

a lot of my problems have solved,

I'm still... Well, not solved.

They've kind of been pushed away,

I guess, or left behind...

Left behind, they've been left behind.

School is still really intense

at the moment,

because I'm in my final year and

the pressure is becoming ridiculous.

But I'm using them to kind of maintain

control and perspective.

Tonight is the formal saying goodbye

to Year 12, formal graduation.

Paisley...

Rock!

Kate Willison.

Well done, Katie.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

I'm very proud of you, you know that.

Thank you.

It was a really emotionally

draining day, my graduation,

cos, yeah, everyone was crying,

and I'm going to miss everyone.

I'm going to miss my entire year group.

But, you know, I know

I'm going to see them again.

And it's just so exciting,

after 13 years,

to be able to not have

that structure and routine and...

Although, yeah, I still have

to do my exams,

I don't have to go there every day

and experience, you know,

the intensity and the pressure,

and I have a lot more freedom.

My goal is to be something,

to be something big,

to be something extraordinary.

To, you know, be able to change

a person's life

and know that, you know, a girl

from the ghetto or the projects

changed her life around

from listening to my story.
