She is so young

I don't want to scare her, she is only 11. It was scary for me when i was almost 17.

Even if I do say something, nothing will be done about it. My mother doesn't give a fuck about any of us. Aparently Sammie has already said something, to know that she has it.

When Sammie told me that its weird how I had it, then Heather (Well Heather still has it, technically we all still have it.), and now she has it too, I figured she was too young and it must just be in her head. But I told her to stand up so I could check anyways. I tried to keep a straight face, but its hard to do when something like that proves you wrong.

I went through this years ago. And they said it was hereditary. But I fuckin hoped that neither of my sisters would end up with it. And you know what, both of them did. And now Sammie has it at only 11. Its not bad enough that they go through so much shit on a daily basis with our lives, but now they have to deal with a fuckin serious spinal condition?

And some people still wonder why I don't believe in god.

I had scoliosis at 16, and had corrective spinal surgery. I now have two,  permanant, full length steel rods in my back. My sister Heather has it as well, with no medical insurance through my parents, they can't support her, let alone insure her medical well being. Thats why she hans't lived with them since she was 15. And now, Sammie, my 11 year old sister has it as well. No medial either, and sadly she still lives with our parents. Shares a bedroom with her parents, doesnt ever have clean clothes unless she comes to my house, she is in sixth grade! And now she has to deal with something this huge. And its nothing little either, its quite visibly aparent.

I knew this would happen eventually, but I just didn't think it would happen this soon. She is so young.
