Escape from High School

Chapter 1

It all started when I Began middle school. I was an innocent kid, nothing special, insecure like most of us in high school. At first I was really determined to make friends, but I gave up quickly, as I realized that there really are no friends in high school, only people who pretend to be your friends. I was bullied constantly by everyone. Everybody called me fat and ugly, which only fed my insecurities.

Every day I'd look into a mirror and try to see something pretty in myself. My body was a mess, just like my mind, my thoughts and myself. It was really hard to find love in such a hopeless place. My parents never noticed, as I'd simply fake a smile every afternoon I got home from school. They probably had more important stuff to do anyway.

I contemplated death many times, thinking that was the only way out. In the end I'd always convince myself that running away from your problems won't solve anything.

The school faculty never did anything either, as they never noticed all the things people said to me, and I never said anything either, fearing that'd it'd only get worst if they knew I told on them.

I lived in constant fear of what people had to say and though of me throughout all of middle school. But most of all, I feared myself, as the though of ending it all haunted me everyday.

But one day that all changed...
