Life is hard. Very hard. So hard, that sometimes, we don't want it. I don't know why, but everything is just extra hard on me. My parents tell me that God is just waiting for something big to happen, but based on my life, I don't think so.
My name is Mary Brown. I'm a 14-year-old 8th grader that attends Olsen Middle School. I hate it so much. I've tried and tried to get my parents to switch me to the private school, but they said it's just too expensive.
I'm tired of everything. I think about giving up sometimes. My parents and friends have no idea what I'm going through. I tell them things and they just don't listen. They say it's "just a phase". I know they love me, but I wish they would listen.
My dark thoughts just take over my mind. I can't control them. They just come. Then I start crying. In fact, I cry almost every night in my bed. Nobody knows and I don't tell them because they won't listen. I pray hopelessly every night that it'll get better. It's not. It's getting worse. I feel like God and the world hate me. The problem is, I don't understand why.
I've never done anything very wrong. Ok, when I was little, I lied and did typical naughty things that little kids do, but everyone did those things. People that I've known have done horrible things, yet they're living a normal happy life. I never did any of those things, yet God is giving me a catastrophic life.
I need help. A lot of help. Someone that will listen to me and take me seriously. I'm begging God.
