How could you not know who I am!!

IM SO FAMOUS IM ON YOUTUBE!?! HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM! - A short film based off my life!

Hello, I presume an introduction is needed? If so, let me begin! My name is William Pitt the Younger, I was born on the 28th of May of the year 1759 at Hayes near Bromley in Kent. That year was also the Anno Mirabilis of the Seven Year’s War, which was conducted by my father William Pitt the Elder. My family was a rather large family of five children. I was the second son and the fourth of the five children. My family was rather politically influenced as I had all sorts of relatives whom were related to Politics from both sides of my family.
          Since, a young age I was a fragile child, with inherited gout. In addition, I was often in extensive care and due to my gout I was treated with a bottle of port (the most toxic of all wines) by Dr. Anthony Addington, I must say I quite enjoyed wine. For this reason, I was taught at home by Reverend Edward Wilson, a Cambridge graduate. I had become competent in Latin at the age of 7; in addition, I had a quick and retentive mind. I was rather inactive as I found books to be more interesting than sporting activities. As a result, my father became peculiar in me, he had sent me to learn Greek and Latin and often made me recite my speeches in front of him. Shortly, after learning Greek and Latin my father sent me to Pembroke Hall in 1773, where I studied classics, math, English history, and political philosophy all at the age of 14. I had graduated with an MA without examination in 1776 (haha I was such a genius)! Although, I had graduated I had become intrigued by the Earl of Chatham and after his death I had entered Lincoln’s Inn to study law in 1778, it was here where I began to conjure a debt I would keep till my death. Shortly after studying law I stood as a candidate for Cambridge University however, I came last in a poll out of five people (Boo-hoo). However, this did not stop me from canvassing patrons for a seat in parliament. Finally, on January 1781, when I was 21 years old I took my seat in the House of Commons. Here the people believed I was my father, thus I attached myself to the Shelburne’s group it was only natural as this was the group my father followed.
          After a couple of years in Parliament, I had demonstrated my oratorical ability which had supported Burke’s Bill of Oeconomical Reform. However, I had spoken rarely until 1783 when I had become a PM. Shortly after this feat, I had achieved a greater feat, at the age of 24 I was appointed the Chancellor of Exchequer. I knew little about my duties, but I was still the name leader of the Government in the Commons. However, later that year I had retired my position.
          One year had passed in February 1784 I was declared a Freeman of the City of London! Also, one month later in March I had retained my position as PM and also won one of the seats for Cambridge University, a constituency I would represent the rest of my life!
          My premiership in peacetime lasted from 1783 until 2789 during the French Revolution. During this time I had rescued my nation from the brink of disaster that was undone by the French War’s which began in 1793! Ugh! Can’t my own country at least maintain my hard work!? I had little in the way of a non-working life. I had never married due to embarrassments of my debt. At the closing of year 1805, my health was poor. On the 9th of November I was toasted the Savior of Europe in the mayor’s banquet. Shortly after, I had dedicated my will to my tutor Bishop-Pretyman and finally my death had reached me on January 23, 1806. My most proud title were the Prime Minister of Great Britain, which I was the youngest ever! And the Chancellor of Exchequer.
