(Trigger Warning)

Lee nervously waited for Regan to send her the finished video. She got a notification and it was time. She was dreading this, but she had to. And the world was gonna find out soon enough anyway. And with a push of a button, she just let the world know, everything.

The cast was waiting too. All of their phones went off at the same time and they all knew. The notification said, " LeeVKeery posted a new video 'The Truth'."

Hey guys! It's Lee. Today's video is gonna be different than my others. I'm ready to share my story. So, I had a pretty good beginning of my life until my mom passed away for an unknown medical reason. My dad began to start drinking, a lot. He remarried a very nice woman who soon after found out that she was having Hannah Rose. They day after we got back from the hospital with Hannah Rose, we woke up to a note saying this, "I can't do it! The constant crying and screaming, it's to hard! I've left. I'm sorry. But I can't live with that plus an alcoholic. I'm sorry to let you down." I was heart broken she was the mother I always wanted and she just left. I started feeling empty. My dad was no help. His drinking problem only got worse after that. Joe was trying to stop him but they got into a big fight. I could hear them from my room and the only thing I clearly heard was, "I'm done with your bullsh*t! I'm taking the my sisters and we are leaving until you get your act together." I woke up the next morning in a hotel room. I learned to accept that I would never see my dad again and it felt like I was going g back to a semi-normal thing. I started posting covers on YouTube and I got picked up by an agency and a record label. That was all great but on the inside I felt empty. My fame started growing and I felt like I had to live up to what the media thought of me, a happy 10 year old who is living a great life. All that stress really affected me. I hated myself, I felt like I was lying to the world. I was and still am, very insecure. I told so many things to my then boyfriend, Chaz Danforth. He helped but  not enough. I finally was pushed to my breaking point and began to harm myself. It made me feel better. I tried to tell Chaz but he had changed. He had become more of a douche. I didn't dump him though because my manager told me it was going to be bad press. I landed the role of Eleven and I met so many people. But I was still the same depressed and self harming Lee that I had always been. I dumped Chaz and he told my manager everything. She and I got into a huge fight and I fired her. She and Chaz used my insecurities against me and I had enough. I went back to my self harming ways and I have been hospitalized because of it. These pst few days, with all the love and supply of my friends and family, have truly made me realize that there are people who do truly love me. There are gonna be people who try to use you, don't let them. You are your own person and no one should change you. If you are depressed and are committing acts of self harm, there is help. I have put some places to get help in the description box down below. Thank you all for listing and hearing my story. I love you all and I will see you next time hopefully with a much more light hearted video!
