Hey guys. I'm here to tell all of you the truth. The real truth. My dad isn't the reason I've been grounded. It's my own fault. I've been not doing my homework and skipping classes. I brought it on myself. My grades are almost all F's. I've been lying to my parents and telling them I haven't been on here. I've been running away from my problems for almost three years and I can't be on here anymore for the near future. I have over thirty hours of detention to serve.

Now this next part is written by her step-dad. Natalie is an incredibly intelligent and caring person who unfortunately suffers from a mental illness. The best thing any of you can do is combine your energy of well wishes and pray that she gets better. We have nothing against Deviant Art or any of you. We want Natalie to have friends, but it has been frustrating to watch her even lie to you over the last few months. I have been trailing her for quite some time over all of your boards and can tell you that she has not been honest with you, much the same as she has not been honest with herself or us. She tests "off the charts" yet has barely been able to pass 7th, 8th and now 9th grade. We have tried to get her help and will continue to do so. She's a special person that we hope can one day shine in an honest matter for all of the world to see. Until then, please keep her in all of your thoughts. As I am certain she will try to do an "end-around" this post and create several more identities, please realize she needs you to help get her back on the right track.
