Hey Guys,
So just some quick warnings about this story, this depicts mental illness in the way I have experienced it through friends, myself and what I've found out through high school level psychology. I think that the only character whose mental illness may not be portrayed correctly would be Angela's psychopathy as I and none of my friends have experienced it my understanding is purely from textbook knowledge so I'm sorry if I fuck it up.
If depictions of self-harm, suicide, bullying, swearing, homophobia, abusive environments, mental illness, underage drinking, drug abuse or sexuality make you upset or worried I would advise that this story isn't for you (because that's basically the entire premise for the story).
This story is set in Melbourne, Australia so some of the terms I use aren't classic American terms so they may be confusing to some.
This also includes LGBT themes so if you are a homophobic asshole don't read it.
I would love to receive critique as I am still developing my writing.
I am not trying to glamorize mental illness or self-harm.
That done. Please enjoy
