[lowercase intended]

triggering throughout duration of book: self harm, depression, anxiety, bullying, violence, abuse [domestic and child], anorexia, bulimia, suicidal thoughts

if you feel as though you might be triggered by any of the events listen above i advise you not to read for your own safety and happiness.

boyxboy in case it wasn't already clear.

although the start of the book is depressing and gloomy it gets better as it progresses, you'll see.

first fanfiction i have wrote on this account (i have a secret account) and constructive criticism is appreciated as well as any comments at all. votes too, they make me smile.

disclaimer: i am not, never have been and never will be, homophobic. i do not support bullying, homophobia, violence and any form of abuse. they are only featured in this book to show the effects these things have and to help show how wrong they are while hopefully discouraging them. they destroy lives and i hope the book makes you think twice about these circumstances if you didn't think they were completely wrong already. i also do not encourage self harm, suicide or any eating disorders. i understand that they are often an effect of depression and anxiety and those cannot be helped. again, they are only featured as effects of bullying and abuse. i just don't recommend them in the slightest, they ruin people physically and emotionally. but if you are already victim to them then i completely understand and would like you to know that i am here for you if you ever need someone to talk to. i am always reachable via wattpad or kik if you would like to talk, just inbox me if you want my kik... also i do not think michael is any of the things the bullies ect call him, he's perfect to me seriously. and if he was gay i would support that till the end because it's what makes him happy and that's all that matters to me.

at the start of each part i will clearly state the specific possible triggers for that individual chapter so if you think there's a possibility you could be triggered you can leave.

every chapter will be in total lowercase, it's just easier for me.

thank you for reading all of that, i hope you enjoy damaged.

welcome to paradise.'

- green day, welcome to paradise

have you ever felt so worthless you wish you'd never been born?

welcome to my life.

i'd say enjoy you're trip but let's face it, you won't. you'll probably wish you never came. at least you can leave at any point [advised if you get upset or triggered] - i don't have that option. i'm stuck in this hell zone. try not to get too close, i don't wan't to be a burden. trust me, you don't want all my baggage like calum. he's the only one who's stuck around. not that i blame the others for leaving, i would leave me too. nobody wants a fat, worthless, gay loser like me. i'm michael by the way. i also answer to faggot, freak, idiot and mikey. preferably mikey. or mike, whatever's good for you. whatever makes you happy. i like making other people happy. i figured that if i'm never going to be happy then i might as well try to make sure everyone else is; unfortunately most of the time that means being an emotional and physical punching bag. i'm mostly numb to it now, just sometimes it all gets too much. usually whenever i think about that day last year. may 10th, lunch...
