I Didn't Know Males Exist

Hi! My name is Tazi and I was raised by apes.

When I was 8 years old I have vague memories of being brought to this island by my human parents. I don’t know why they were here, but all I know is that they never survived. One night, a jaguar came into our shelter and killed them. I would’ve been jaguar food next, if it weren’t for the apes.

One ape, I call her Ma, suddenly appeared and defeated the jaguar before it could eat me. Ma then found me, just a little girl, all alone, and decided to take me in.

I’ve been living with the apes ever since. We don’t have a language like humans do, but we communicate through body movement. And since I was 8 years old when I was taken in by the apes, I could still speak some English, though not very well.

It was tough adapting into this new life. I remember one time they were teaching me how to swing from tree to tree, and as I let go of the branch it snapped and I nearly fell to my death, but Ma quickly jumped forward and rescued me. It’s taken a lot of getting used to, but now, at 16 years of age, the apes have become my family and I have become less of a human and more of an ape.

Once my family started to trust me, they revealed to me something very special about them. Their hair is as strong as steel. For real. You could shoot an arrow at their back and it would not break through their hair armour. Because of this I’d always felt self-conscious since I didn’t have the same impenetrable hair as them on my body, but Ma always made sure I felt included.

My Parents Love My Genius Sister More Than Me

“Honey, I’d like you to meet Alyssa.”

I extended my hand and Alyssa smiled as she shook it.

“It’s nice to meet you, Candice, I’ve heard so much about you.”

Dad’s phone buzzed. “Please excuse me, I have to take this.”

Alyssa nodded and Dad left the room.

Alyssa suddenly leaned towards me. “If you don’t do as I say I’ll make your life a living nightmare.”

Hi there, I’m Candice from Ireland.

When I was three Mom passed away from an illness and it’s been just Dad and me ever since.

Dad and I were very close. He always treated me like his little princess and we’d get manis and pedis together, go to the movies, he’d even set up my dolls and stuffed animals and we’d pretend that we were runway models.

When I was 15, Dad introduced me to his girlfriend, Alyssa, and six months later they were married. She did and said all the right things when Dad was around.

“Ethan, I think it’s time Candice got her own computer.” or “I think Candice and I should have a girls day out!”

Mom Is Jealous Of My Skin

Hi! I'm Chloe! I was born to the smartest mom in the world, Mrs Nikki. As a child alone she won multiple awards because of how genius she was and had her own law firm at 22. Everyone expected I would be smart like her. But instead of books, I loved music, and this made mom very angry.

There was this time when I was six, and my Grandma got me a mini guitar as my birthday present. I played with it all the time and found it difficult to do my homework.

Mom This is crazy!!! You should have gotten her books as a present!

Dad But you already did that.

Mom This guitar is making her not to focus on what is important. Everyone is laughing at me for giving birth to a child that's the complete opposite of me.

Chloe But mom, it makes me happy.

Mom That's not the point! If you dont have straight A's, you're going to be a broke adult, like your uncle!

Uncle was mom's brother who hadn't done too well in school as mom had. I thought he was living fine, but mom always spoke bad of him. Infact mom was always nasty to people, except clients who paid her lots of money and her only friend Mariam.

Mariam was nice, but her son was not. Even though we knew each other from babyhood, he was just a meanie.

In class, he scored straight A's while I struggled to have B's, and he would always look down on me for it.
