Scars

Prologue:

Hi my name is Alexis but everyone calls me Lexi. As a child I was bullied. I was called ugly fat and useless.

By the time I turned 13 I began to believe all that my bullies had said. I believed it all. I started feeling really insecure so I stopped eating to loose weight. I got very depressed. At age 14 I started smoking. But eventually realized I was being stupid and causing myself sever harm. But it also wasn't satisfying my need to hurt myslef to creat scars. So I made a new friend! My razor blade. Seeing each indevidual cut down my arm and watching the blood drip down my fingers made me happy, it made me feel warn inside like every drop of blood was one more sliver of my pain dripping away, at school everyone wondered why I never took off my jacket even though I was sweating! But one day I finally did!

Chapter 1 Lexi's secret revieled)

The first day I had had the courage to take off my jacket every one looked at me like I was crazy! Everyone saw my cuts there was no way for me to hide them! All 37 running the length of my arm. Every one had seen them by now! My friend Alice the only one who had been through everything with me started to cry! Not because of what I did but because I had not told her. I had told her everything even the time that I tried to overdose on Advil because I no longer wanted to live. I would never do that again. Not even my parents had known about neither my cuts or me trying to overdose! I bet they will know now, now that everyone had seen them and this is my junior year I'm 16 years old! I know one of them will run and tell the school counselor that I have mental health problems and need to be locked up in a "hug me " jacket so I can't do this again! Even though I did need help I didn't want it! As I walked down the hall I heard a freshman girl named Alyssa say "have you seen lexi's arms what a physco!" And that pushed me to the limit I needed a jacket and I needed it now! I didn't eat anymore people to see them! The more people to see them means the more chance of it getting back to my parents, considering we all lived in a very small town where everyone knew everything!
