Please don't click or scroll away from this book just yet, what I have to say is important - I promise it will be worth your time. This book is to bring attention to subjects that society avoids talking about: things like alcoholism, addictions of all sorts, depression, anxiety disorders, sleep disorders, self-harm (in all it's different forms), eating disorders, mental disorders, abuse, homophobia, abortion, and certainly more that I've yet to name and properly educate myself on. Each chapter will have real statistics, real solutions... and also the awareness that some of these subjects that I'll talk about don't have real solutions. This is not a one-size fits all type of conversation. I'm done with letting myself be ignorant to all the topics that no one likes to talk about. And yes, I understand that these topics are really hard to talk about... But they need to be. Desperately. Perhaps some of the stories you read here will feel like they are based on your own. I can guarantee that some of them will be based on mine. __________

"Please. Give me thirty days to try to convince you that your life is worth living. Thirty reasons not to die." Roman took a deep breath. "If I don't convince you by then... you can go jump off that bridge. I won't stop you." Virgil is standing on the safety railing of a bridge, preparing to jump, ready to end it all. But, a young jock with quick reflexes pulls him away from the edge, and makes him a deal. Now, Roman has only thirty days to convince Virgil to live. Give him thirty reasons not to die. Will it be enough to make Virgil stay? Or, will Roman be forced to live with the fact that he couldn't save him? Prinxiety All rights to the Sanders Sides go to Thomas Sanders!

[COMPLETED, BUT CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN] A red rose is love Pricking those who come too close A pink rose is friendship Tying two souls together in harmony An orange rose is passion Blossoming in Lust's foul hands A violet rose is courage Growing in Nature's Garden of Eden A black rose is death Lying gracelessly on the wooden casket Every one of them matches its color Like a military man in solitary line But a yellow rose is different It is not happy or kind A yellow rose is dying love Forever frozen in mid-bloom (poem written by Diana, not me :3) (cover picture isn't mine either, tho I'd be more than happy to give the owner credit or take it down)

Scarlett June was at her very lowest point. Her boyfriend had been pressuring her for just the simplest affections but she just wasn't into it. Maybe it was because Scarlett wasn't into him. Maybe it was because (try as she might) Scarlett just wasn't attracted to boys. She couldn't accept herself. Her confidence and social skills seemed to disappear even more than usual. Why was making friends so hard? As her anxiety and self-loathing heightened she'd started to try her very, very best to fall in love with her boyfriend. That's when the girl with purple hair walked into her life. Delilah Athenaeum was all about life. She knows who she is. She's accepted who has become and who she has feelings for. After all, why should she be ashamed of being pansexual? The two girls become friends after meeting in a classroom and Delilah helps Scarlett come to terms with who she is. Love is love, right?

Featured Selection for "Pen Your Pride" ( #WattPride ) Of all the weirdest scenarios Evan had been into during work-like that one time when some random dude bursted into the convenience store with a horse and proceeded to make out with said horse right in front of him-A girl buying practically every bottle and gallon of Pepsi the store had at 2AM seemed pretty normal enough.
