[SENSITIVE TOPIC WARNING]
It's 5:36 A.M., an average school day. You get up and pick an outfit that really hurts you, but society says it's going to impress everybody, so you wear it anyways. Now you go to the bathroom to slather on makeup, because, well, EVERY popular girl wears makeup! You make sure you pt on the perfect amount, and go to the kitchen to portion out your meals for the day. They look something like this:
Breakfast: A few pieces of strawberries, half a cup of milk.
Lunch: You pack nothing, because all of the popular kids are super skinny, right?
Dinner: Mom/Dad will take care of that.
You head out the door. Looking down at the $49.99 watch that you bought, and you notice that you are right on time. *6:17*. Since you want to be skinny, you decide to run to school each day to be skinny like everybody else! At school, you wonder "Why does everyone look the same? THAT must be what being pretty looks like." You have grades as high as As to seem smart enough to be popular. After school, you go home, go straight to your room, and burst into tears. You cry "WHY AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH? HOW UGLY AM I TO PEOPLE?" Your voice lowers, and you say, "...why do I still breathe?.." A week later, infested with scars, your body ends up being discovered by your parents, your current lover, and the police.
Bottom line is that YOU ARE PRECIOUS. Even if you don't know anyone cares, SOMEONE does! I care! Your parents care! If you need a sign, this is your sign. Dead serious, if you ever, EVER think about self-harm or suicide, please please PLEASE go find help! People out there will take time out of their days to talk to you!
