This past week has been one of the hardest of my life. My
friends and all are all freaked out about this test results we are gonna get
next Friday. Some guys, I mean BOYS, just burst into tears in the middle of the
day because of all the pressure. Plus teachers are making us go insane with homework
and more tests. But this test I was telling you about is THE TEST. It’s about everything
studied in high school, and it will say if I go or not to college. And I’m so
fuckin panicked. I can`t count on my friends cause they are even more anxious
than me. If a friend of mine would say to me that they had this situation I would
ask them to keep calm and trust in themselves. And that’s what I’m supposed to
do. But I can`t get the fear out of my head. I’m losing my mind right now. Plus
I’m not shure bout what career to choose. I thought I had everything figured
out until this little incident came up. Right now I feel like I’m the middle of
nothing.
I live, I feel, I write.
I am Laura. 17, been bullied since I was 5 until I was 14. Today I still go through life everyday, but now I know better, and I'd like to share it with you. I'm not some stranger behind a desk lecturing you. I have been where you are right now, and came out. Please comment and SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS, that's what this space is made for.

IM TALKING TO YOU
It is so hard dealing
with peer pressure when you are young. I’ve met totally pacific and civilized
people that end up doing the most horrifying things . Also, I’ve seen beautiful
girls who end up falling into feeding disorders or depression because they were
constantly told they are fat or ugly. I had such experience myself. Since i was
nine years old I was told by my friends (if you could call it like that) that I
was ugly, fat, not pretty enough, not like everyone else. I was annoyed constantly
because of my hair, that’s really curly, cause it wasn’t straight like the ones
from the other girls. I have to admit I basically gave up on eating and thought
all the time I was inferior in comparison to any other kids. I faced some
health issues because of my low weight. Luckily, something changed in my life.
I became stronger and smarter. I switched schools, but still, things weren’t
completely right. I had been hurt so badly that I built large walls around me
for not getting hurt, pushing away the people around me. That went on for 2
years. Then I turned 14. Then I found Green Day. And my life changed. Listening to their music
made me realize it was ok to be different, to think and act differently from
others. To be someone unique. I learned
to love being myself, and to be myself. To enjoy life because of my own
happiness, and not because of other people’s opinions. “I figured out all my
doubts were someone elses’s point of view”.
And I have something
to say to YOU. If you are unhappy in your life, change, it. Look for an answer,
for some help, or fun. Cry, scream, punch a wall, run a mile. But don’t you
swallow all of that frustration. Use it so it can help you make your life worth
living. What’s the point of being like everyone else? Use that shirt or that
pair of shoes you are afraid of wearing to school because of the possible
mocking. Listen to that freaky music you love and tell everyone about it. Do
the things that make you smile. Just scream to the universe “I am myself, I
love it, and I need nobody to tell me what to be”. I’ve got a challenge for
you. For a day, try to be yourself. Girls, leave aside all that excess of
makeup. Boys, stop imitating your peers way of talking or even acting. Try to
be yourself and only yourself a single day. Don’t laugh just cause everyone
did, or contain your laughter cause no one laughed. Be honest and enjoy. Sounds
simple? I bet it ain’t that easy.
I shall report to you
later. See yah guys around, and good night.

My mom says i'll do great but im so nervous i wish i could go forward in time and see my results once and for all. anyway, any comment or advice is welcomed.***
THIS STORY IS NAMED "WATCH OUT ANA!" PLEASE COMMENT IF U LOVE IT, PLEASE COMMENT IF U HATE IT!! JUST COMMENT CAUSE IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME
"Ana, it’s him on the phone again!!"
"Ana, it’s him on the phone again!!"
Her, with a huge lack of excitement, went down stairs and answered the phone:
-hi Jake
-hi Ana! What’s up?
- (not much since the last call 5 minutes ago) nothing dude
-I can’t help it, I can’t get it out of my head, Ana I love YOU!
-… (SHE WOULD NEVER SAY SUCH A THING BACK, AND TO SUCH A DUDE)
Things
had been so strange between the 2 of them lately, mainly because they
had been best friends for 2 years, until Jake had a crush on her, and
Ana, who wasn’t a very comprehensive or lovely girl, didn't even think
for a second in considering his proposals.
So,
as Jake was constantly begging for Ana’s attention, sometimes turning
irritating, her mind was flying somewhere else. Till one day, without
even thinking or even looking back or forward, Ana kissed him, and while
she didn't feel a thing, actually, it was a little annoying, for him it was the begging of something, it meant something to him…
Their
friendship didn’t change on Ana’s side, but Jake got insane and now he
was "stalking" her. Everybody in the family knew this wasn’t Ana’s usual
behavior: she barely called somebody, and even if she got phone calls
more often than she did them, they were never that many. Until Ana, who
wasn’t very tolerant, but impulsive, said what she needed to say:
-You
know, Im done with this shit, I’ve got nothing to say to you, don’t you
have better things to do? Get a life please; how the fuck did your past
girlfriends could take you?
And
she hanged up the phone violently. It wasn’t the first time a nice
friendship with a guy ended in this kind of fight; actually, she had
said almost the same words she said the last time, or the 2 last times?
This
kept happening again and again, but she didn’t really gave it much
importance. True, she was a lonely bitch, but she still had friends that
were there for her.
Her
parents and little brother went out to a doctor’s appointment, and she
went walking to the nearest café. It was cold as hell, and she sat down
drinking a cappuccino. Then a weirdly dressed guy sat next to her, she
looked at him and he looked at her, and even though he seemed oddly
familiar, she just ignored him. She was used to
ignore estrangers that couldn't take her eyes of her. She thought he was
a perv, but when he stopped staring at him, she finally looked at him
more closely. He was all dressed in black, was paler than a sheet of
paper, and skinny, his long, white, bony fingers held a cup of coffee,
and she could have told more about him, if it weren't for his big, dark
glasses. As in a scary movie, he slowly turned his head to her, and Ana
didn't look away, she was expecting him to say something… it seemed like
if he was going to speak…. When she heard a loud cry of terror outside
the café, looked somewhere else looking for the sound, but the streets
were empty, and then looked back... and the man was gone. There, was
only his cup of coffee, and a watch.
She stood up quickly and walked towards the counter, and asked the employee:
-did you see the man who was having the coffee next to me?
-What man?
(Her kind laughed, because she felt she was tricking her, and then said, this time, annoyed)
-come on, the dude on the black suit!
-HEY! You have been my only customer in the whole evening.
-But he left his coffee there, half empty!
And
after she looked back and pointed at the table, there was no cup of
coffee there, besides the cappuccino she had been drinking.
-It’s there something wrong with you? Do you need help? Do you want to call somebody (said the girl, basically insulting her)
As
she was walking down the street she saw a familiar face. It was Jake's.
But as she expected, he ignored her and kept walking. Wind was blowing
impatiently and the way back home seemed longer. Then she saw Jake
walking past her again. How? She looked back and saw him walking away
from her. "Too much coffee aint going to make me see
this shit). But then she tough it was just the regret that rang in the
back of her mind, she was beginning to feel sorry about what she said to
Jake. Or did she just want him back to keep his heart in her pocket,
and take it out and use it whenever she pleased?
Just two blocks from her house she hurried her pace and got home.
I hope u guys liked it!! please comment! if u comment, even if u like it or not, it would mean the world to me :D
(THIS HAS NO TITLE YET. AS THE STORY GOES ON, IM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS)
I guess thousands of people come here with their tragical
stories just to get others to read their inventions. I wish i was one of them.
I’m just Laura. 17. Was simply starring at my garden. All the green, the bees,
the silence. The silence. THE SILENCE. When suddenly BANG. Just one, clear,
perfect gun shot. I closed my eyes and listened to my heart beat crazily. I
didn’t want to do this, but i knew what had happened, and i knew nobody else
was going to do it. I took my cell phone and walked down the garden to the
sidewalk, crossed the street, crossed my neighbor’s garden, and knocked on her
door. Without even waiting for a reply, i was about to try to open it, when i
felt something sticky under my shoe. It was a tiny little line of blood that
after i stood somewhere else, went down the sidewalk and fell in the gutter,
where it mixed with all the trash and gasoline spread in the street. I dialed
911.
