2 The Struggle

I can't handle it anymore...

It was lunch time, the mean girls throwing their foods at me, taunting me and all I can hear was a ringing noise, blocking them out. I slowly get up from the lunch table, grabbed my bag and walked out; leaving the mean girls speechless. I couldn't hold back the tears and start crying as I'm running back home. Burst through my front doors, running up the stairs and locking myself in my room. My parents gently knock on my door.

"Are you okay?! What's wrong honey?!" Mom said in a worried voice, "Let us in please..."

"NO PLEASE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I screamed.

My mom and dad sigh, feeling hurt that they couldn't help their own daughter and quietly walked away leaving me alone. All I can think about is the bullying those girls kept putting me through, how I'm always lonely, how I can keep doing this to myself and just keep looking at those ugly scars on my arms and legs. Wiping my tears as I slowly crawl into bed, mumbling "I hate school..I just want to escape..." slowly closed my eyes, seeing darkness and drift off to a deep sleep.

"Hello..? Hello..can you wake up?"
