I would like to improve my writing?
Hello I am an aspiring Author and I would like help in making my writing sound a little more professional.
I'd like to improve on my:
- characters- they just don't seem believable, people say when you write stories that your characters come alive and that they tell you what they want. I don't think I've ever felt that when I write.
- back story- I don't think I can write back stories well and to be honest, if I was to create a character that is troubled I wouldn't be able to write a fitting back story for them.
- plots- I feel that they're weak and they have nothing to them, something happens then something else happens, end. there is no twists and turns or sense of adventure for my characters.
- setting- I know I don't describe much but I feel that I can't describe well, I find I say the same things like tall modern and big. I understand all buildings aren't like that but in a city a lot of buildings do look the same.

1.it would be better if i wasnt on the earth (suicide threats on multiple occasions)
2.what it would be like if i stabbed myself
3.would love to faint (i will be in a situation with someone close and i will think how nice it would be to faint and have them by my side when i wake up)
4.when i go out to town thinks everyone is talking about them, gosh i hate that so much.
5.cant sleep at all i've been suffering insomnia a lot recently this is my 3rd week of being awake
6.i am afraid around ther people who i have not meet i think there out to get me, i have 1 close friend and i can be very aggressive people find it really hard to get along with me.
7.i get stressed a lot so much i get headaches everyday and i currently suffering acute back pain havent been able to move for 2 days
8.i have really bad anger problems, i should see someone about this is threw a chair off someone the other day because he called me fat (i am really touchy about my weight though) still ... lets just say im very violent
9.i am a emotional person my parents split up when i was 1 year old i have grew up with no dad, and when friends say i hate my dad for what ever i throw fits, then mam got a boyfriend and i was happy for 11 years he was like my dad i even called him dad but he left and i fell into manic depression for 3 years and i got help for that, but if people mention thier dads i throw fits.

a normal day can go something like this, i get up go to school someone complains thier family i breakdown crying then build that sadness into anger and destroy everything, then i can be either sent to the toilets to clean up or i get told off, then lessons start i will get something wrong in a lesson cry again, then lunch comes i dont feel like eating because of being upset then someone will pick on me for being the way i am then i get involved in fights after school because of thme picking on me and how i am.
