KayAnn, I'm so sorry you're going thru such a difficult time. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Live is full of ups and downs, and we've all been there. I can certainly understand when you say, you feel like Simba is the only one who actually cares, since I have felt the same. But even know Simba is the greatest dog, he is not the only thing you have to live for. You're a sweet young lady with your whole live ahead of you. There is nothing you can do about your dad's illness. Be patient and understanding and tell him how you feel. Maybe you can get some friends to help you with your schoolwork. And sometimes you have to take your mind of things, by doing what you enjoy with people you like being with.
