I am the same as you My parents spilt two years ago ( IM 13). You are right if it wasn't for Creed I may have done some really bad stuff. They helped me get through that stuff because Scott Stapp has a similar life to mine. So it almost helped guide me to learn that other people have gone through the same stuff as I am. Creed did inspire me to write songs and I now have 12 of them written! I can realate to what Scott sings. Since he writes from his heart I know that there is someone exactly like me out there. I also have a few of the same problems as Scott.Like the temper and the reasoning. Ihave learned to write from my heart and im getting guitar lessons.

Some advice for writting from your heart: say your haveing a bad day write down what you feel like!
