[Jarrod]

My name is Jarrod Jones, 16 and living in Wales at the moment. Moved to Wales from Wolverhampton when I was 9 years old to a small seaside town on the north coast. I was pretty big... weight wise. I had no worries about my looks etc until I started high school where I slimmed down to 11st (I'm that now) and 5ft 12. Brownish hair, finally I have longish hair actually (Like... Louis Tomlinson's style from a year or so ago) and finally wearing clothes which are fashionable and nice (I never took pride in myself until pretty recently)

I recently finished Year 11 and my GCSE's and I'm nervously waiting on the results. I currently live with just my mum, brother and sister. My dad doesn't live with us anymore. For the past year, I've had an ongoing battle with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after an event which basically knocked me really badly. I'm getting over it and to be honest I really do think I am now.

I never really made that many friends in school until around Year 9 where I latched onto a small group where we stayed together and we are still best friends now. I came out as gay to select few in March and then eventually to everybody at the beginning of May. Actually I think TiBB knew before my mum... Honestly, my life isn't bad. I get around and I enjoy it. I aspire to be either a producer for television or film, an actor or set designer.

My current job... I don't have one. I run my own BB website which is such an amazing experience, you see Big Brother through a different light it's great.
