Sleeping with the Enemy | LT ✔️ by lestwinsdesire

This story is about a topic that is very sensitive but very prevalent in today's society. So often we read or hear about domestic violence and it's almost always violence against women but what is constantly swept under the rug is violence against men. Warning: This story may cause readers to experience a wide range of emotions especially if it's personal. Believe me, I understand because I was a victim of domestic abuse so it's touchy for me too and my intention is not for anyone to relive the pain but to simply bring awareness to the issue. ❤️

The UnSlut Project by MeghanJoyceTozer

I was the 6th-grade "slut." And I kept a diary. So I decided to create The UnSlut Project in the hopes that my own diary entries could provide some perspective to girls who currently feel trapped and ashamed. I am publishing these entries one at a time, without changing a single word except for the names of the people involved. My limited commentary, which is confined to brackets in each entry, is meant to provide the relief of my current perspective, fifteen years later. The UnSlut Project: Working to undo the dangerous slut shaming in our schools, communities, media, and culture by sharing knowledge and experiences.

White Roses of Isolation (Boyxboy) by A_R_Rockettt

Montero has always been judged. No one has ever tried to give him a chance or tried to get to know him. Well that was until Jess. Back then one look from Jess would have sent his heart fluttering but now looking at Jess shatters his heart even further. He's learned that eventually everyone can only see the ugly within him. Label him a psychopath. Weirdo. Cold-hearted. Merciless. Vile. Alone. He's so used to being second best but after losing Jess not once but twice his entire mindset and way of life have changed. He is only a shell of who he used to be, which is not entirely a bad thing. It just means he has a lot of room to grow. How do you find hope in a world that's never shown you any good? It's something he is learning to figure out for himself. Trigger WARNING involves traumatizing situations and a few graphic details. Read at your own risk.

This book is a different book where every chapter is a short story, poem, rant, or just the perspective of many different types of mental illnesses such as PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, And even more extreme as what causes them, Like abuse, Murder, Witnessing a Murder of a loved one. And many more scenarios that mess our human minds up to the max; most of the times leaving us broken and damaged feeling in the head.

The cost of keeping Secrets by lolagreen26

Harrison is like an open book. Ask him pretty much anything and he's bound to tell you. Or will he. Somethings up with Harrison and someone is bound to find out. This is a darker fiction spin. With descriptive violence, emotional turmoil, and potentially triggering writing. You have been warned. Recommended 16+ I didn't have a beta reader, so please let me know any misspellings or odd words and I can fix it :)
