That night after dance I went on Instagram and saw that I was still on that hate page. They had posted a new video so I decided to watch it. A few seconds into the video I bursted out crying. It was a video of Georgia, who apparently owns the account, telling all of her followers about how much she hates me and how ugly I was. Georgia has been bullying me for a long time and suddenly I just couldn't take it anymore. I threw my phone at the wall, breaking it and took everything off my dressers and smashed them all. Then I picked up my hair brush and threw it at my mirror as hard as I could. The glass shattered and shards flew all over the place. I then picked up a piece of glass and held it to my skin, not putting any pressure down yet. I stood there with the glass pressed against my wrist, sweating and crying. Images flashed threw my mind and I thought about what would come of this. Images of scars on my arms and legs and me chugging a bunch of pills. Then of my lifeless body on the floor as my family and friends cry hysterically. It was then that I realized I'm better than this. I can't self harm and commit suicide because I'm needed. I can't die! Immediately I dropped the glass and ran down stairs to my mom. I told her everything as she held me. And honestly, it felt really good to talk about it. She told me everything would be okay and that I'm special; and you know what, I believed her. For the first time, I believed her.
