She wore more dark clothes.
It's just a phase, you said.
He got a haircut.
It's just a phase, you said.
She dyed her hair.
It's just a phase, you said.
They both gauged their ears.
It's just a phase, you said.
He got depressed.
It's just a phase, you said.
She got scrutinized for being bisexual.
It's just a phase, you said.
He stopped eating.
It's just a phase, you said.
She started smoking.
It's just a phase, you said.
He started doing drugs.
It's just a phase, you said.
She started self harm.
It's just a phase, you said.
They were both bullied.
It's just a phase, you said.
They both got even more depressed.
It's just a phase, you said.
He took too many pills, he wound up in the hospital.
She cut too deep, she wound up in the hospital.
It's just a phase, you said.
He overdosed on heroin. He commited suicide.
She cut even deeper. She commited suicide.
How you wish it was just a phase.
What happens when it actually isn't?
Start fucking believeing them and helping.
It's never just a phase.
Someone could end up dead-it would be your fault for not helping.
