This is a little short story that I had to write for English this year (2013). While the assignment was to use a range of literary features stemmed from a stimulus sheet, I used this story to express many social issues: insecurities, teenage heartbreak, self harm and depression. I hope that this story will help to raise awareness for mental illness :) Please enjoy! (THIS STORY DOES NOT SET OUT TO ENCOURAGE SELF DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOUR OF ANY KIND AND URGES ANY SUFFERING A MENTAL ILLNESS TO SEEK HELP)

I'm lost. Broken. And nobody knows. I help people, and when you help people, you don't get help. I couldn't look at myself think how a mess I was. It was too late for me to be fixed. Nobody could help me. I was too deep in it for being saved. I had too many scars and thought. I already had a broken mind. When I tried to kill myself and failed at it, they brought me to a mental facility. There I meet other teens with different stories and each with their problems. The longer I'm here, the more stories I get the knowledge. We come together to tell our stories so that we can move on from what hurt us in the past and what waits for us in the future. We're all strangers, but we're all living in this messed-up place call life. So can we overcome our broken minds. -2014-
