1. I moved because my parents got divorced, and I left San Antonio to be with my mom (which so far, has not been better). I moved to Greenville, a tiny TINY town just outside of Dallas. 2. These questions are supposed to be personal!! I don't know exactly why I have low self esteem. I can't pin it on just one event or person in my life. I didn't just decide "Okay, I am going to have low self esteem", but I think that it is a product of a lot of hurtful experiences in my lifetime. My father was emotionally abusive, told me that I could't cry when I felt like it, said that I was fat and needed to lose weight and eat better. He told me that I couldn't sing and that, if I got a 93 in a class, I had to do better next time. He made me feel like everything I did was just short of his standards. My mother neglected/s me, and would rather spend time talking to her 18-year-old Norwegian boyfriend than taking me to the grocery store to get food. She made/makes me feel like I am don't need to waste her time with me and my problems, because then she would have less time to get online. It's a collaboration of this and the fact that teenage girls are insecure. Not all, but most to a certain extent. 3. If I could change one thing about myself, I would probably change what you asked about in question #2. I hate questioning everything I say, feel, do, think, write...but for some reason I can't just not second-guess myself. I can't be happy with who I am and what I have done for myself, because it doesn't meet the expectations of my parents, grandparents, friends. I am not saying that I want to put myself first, friends and family second, I just want to be confident in what I do and be proud of myself when I write something really good or get an A on a paper. 4. That's an easy question. I changed my name from Ali to Lexi when I moved to San Antonio because I wanted a new start. Things at my old school got a little...crazy. There were rumors and things that seemed to stick to the name "Ali" that I didn't want to carry with me to my new school. Then, at the beginning of sophomore year, I was just messing around with names for one of the characters in my book, and I wrote "Lexye". I thought it was cool so I started putting that on my papers and asking people to spell it that way. 5. My real name is Alexandra Corinth.
