People around the world suffer for being born with a sex, for associating with a gender, for having darker skin, for having different beliefs, or for simply loving someone. 

  Is there really nothing we can do other than being persecuted endlessly for who we are? None of us asked for being here, for having curly hair, for being born in the wrong body, for being raised with a different culture. 

  And despite still living, we are mocked, put aside, looked down on, and spat at. Just for being different. Is this what the human race was put on Earth to do? To hate on its own kind?

*

For a school project I'm writing short stories about different minorities or discriminated people. Each story takes place somewhere in the U.S. even though hate is worldwide. The characters live their daily lives explaining how they make it through the day. I'm trying to show what feelings people have when out in certain situations and bring awareness to my surroundings about people not feeling good in their shoes. 
I try not to put the blame on certain people and I try to stay away from stereotypes. But of course it isn't always easy. I hope I won't be offending anyone, and if I am please excuse me and explain to me how I could change my texts to make them better.

  It's kind of sloppy and needs a lot of rewriting but for now this is what I have.

This is my truth by KristinaFigolah

My life has been an intense journey from a little girl who was beaten down and abused into believing that she was worthless, to a woman at 43 years of age who is still desperately searching for who she truly is. I found her though. I did. And she writes like me, from inside of me. She is me. This girl that I've been in love with since time first existed, is indeed me. The way that she walks. With her hands... and how she talks? The hearts that she's captured, the souls that she has inspired. I'm now trying to be her. I've never felt that I was good enough to actually be myself!!! I always knew how pure and clear and free I was inside. But people told me otherwise, in a very cruel way. No one ever spared my feelings or thought to speak to me with kindness or love. My parents were very serious and strict people. They believed that there was only 1 way to act and inside I knew that I did NOT fit in the parameters of the behavior expected of me. And every single time I made my Step Daddy sigh or frown it felt like I knife in my heart. I was a let down. Always too loud. Always moving too much. Always too fat and always too ugly. Always too much. Unless I sat quietly. But I've always been a firecracker and all of that containment really made me want to blow off! All of what was inside of me, swirling and dividing in me. Burying the side of me that I loved the most! I was a bastard and a blasphemy. Harsh words for a girl of 3. They said them when they baptized me.

My Prison Called Life (Bio 1) by Dani_Wolf_WolfQueen

This is a bio about me and what I went through as a child. You see I was abused not just by both parents but my whole family. I know you guys probably heard about all of this before but I want to write this. It will help me forget about my past and let me move on. I was suicidal and I wanted to give up but I didn't. So this is a story of what happened before Ways To Stop Bullying and after it. Journey with me when you see the hell I went through and how I made it out to be the person I am today. To be honest this is something that scares me more than anything in the world by writing this. But I want to and need to. To be warned it will get ugly and it might not look that bad to most people who probably had it worse than me. But this isn't why I'm writing this to get sympathy I'm writing this so I can finally move on and say. I done this I lived through it. I doubt anyone would read this and if they do I doubt many will but I don't care I'm writing this for me and if it helps others? I'm glad so I don't know what else to say so this is all.

Second No More, a novel by imaginationgirl35

I've dreamed of the perfect marriage ever since I was a little girl: a marriage complete with a hardworking husband while I tended to the home and our children, preferably four little rugrats to call my own. I dreamed of a life filled with laughter, joy, and success, a life we built together. I dreamed of growing old next to my husband, creating a great love story to tell our grandchildren someday. It all seemed so possible. I was raised to be the perfect wife, after all. From the outside, it seemed I had exactly what I dreamed of with the rich, determined husband; the brilliant, gaudy diamond ring; and the beautiful home filled with the hope of future children. Yes, it was all a dream come true. I should have felt grateful, really. The problem is, I also wanted a marriage based on love, passion, and affection, but those are the only things my husband cannot give me . . . . . . because they're reserved for her.

Unmask by mona_leighsah

"You trust me, don't you?" he says with a smile, that smile. It had fooled everyone, even me at some point, and for the first time I want to scream with rage and shake the earth to the core. "Give me a hug," he says pulling me out of the chair that feels like a rock underneath me. I am as stiff as a board as his hands circle me, making me feel worse than dirt. His hands reach between my thighs and I want to plunge a knife deep through his chest. The only thing stopping me is, the knife is no where near. I pull back and I don't try to hide the anger in my eyes. I want him to see it. To know that I am coming for him. Rape is chanted repeatedly in my mind, reminding of the lies I just told and the false accusations I am throwing on innocent people. He's probably figured it out anyways, surely a Priest as high as he cannot be deceived. But none of that matters anymore because...... This is just the Beginning.

Family Secrets by AmouraLucinda

Rodriguez bothers, circa the late 90's and early 2000s. D. falls for somebody illegal to love. To admit love is a death sentence... but is living without love really living? Diego doesn't have to look any farther than the boy next door... Raul's never been interested in sex or relationships until he meets somebody that he can't live without. Thankfully he--uh, they--also don't want to have sex. Eliseo has practically lived at his friend David's house. Sure, they're close, but friendship isn't what keeps him coming back. He'll claim it is, of course, because he can't admit that his reasons have anything to do with David's beautiful, widowed mother. --- Adrian fell in love at a young age. She became his best friend, his everything, but due to his timid nature, he's never been able to find the words to tell her... but even if he had, would it have mattered? He's dangerous, and she, well she's not allowed to bare children. Salvador and Xavier have always shared everything. Does that also mean sharing a Mate? Juan finds his Bloodmate among the humans... but she's already married--happily--and wants nothing to do with the strange man that watches to make sure she gets home safely every night. --- Warnings/Heads up: There will be gay, straight, bi, and ace characters in this story as well as age gaps... and while you're promised hea/hfn, the culture most of these characters have been born into is toxic. There will be homophobia, references to self-harm, references to abuse, some mild kink, low-key slut-shaming, and views/emotions stemming from something akin to religious trauma (writing is the best therapy after all). I hope you enjoy, and even more so that something might resonate with you. We're all on a journey, and it often helps to know we're not alone. *hugs*

The Redemption of Maximus by TonyaDavis240

The world is screwed up place. Everyone in it just wants peace when it isn't promised to nobody. We work for ourselves to try to improve our ways of life only for someone who has more to take it. Everything is about monetary gain and if you don't got the green you better have a way to survive. Help wont come when you need it. There is no home and having shame is a simple thing of the past. We all tell people to have hope. We tell them that if they work hard enough that change will eventually come and with that change they will find their happy ending. I've watched humans kill for that happy ending. I've committed murder when a tyrant thought to torture the only good thing in this world I have ever found in this fucked up place. Even when I tried to save it, I still lost it. Yeah, you heard right. I am no saint. This world is far from cupcake and t ,rainbows and their isn't not one soul that could tell me different. I have had to fight to survive since the day I lii I broke out of an egg into this world. No one has ever known where I came from and from the moment I got here I've never know any kindness. I have always been the odd one out because I was different. I'm not talking different just because the color of my skin. I'm talking different because when I get well and truly pissed I turn into a vicious monster. I'm not talking a kiddie monster like the one that creeps under your bed while you are sleeping or chooses to hide in your closet. I'm the type that you cant get away from. I travel through space and time. If I want you, I will have you. I have the powers of invisibility on my side, and you will never see me coming. There is no one that can catch me because I can poof away at the drop of a hat. If that doesn't scare you than the thousands of scars on my body and my size definitely will. But who cares about that shit anyway. Looks aren't everything. I am Maximus.

Crushed Underneath the Surface (Complete) by Michelle_90210

For years, I've been writing in silence, creating worlds, characters, and stories that lived only in the margins of my notebooks and tucked-away folders on my computer. Writing has always been my escape, something I've done for myself-a way to step out of reality for a moment and breathe through the lives of the people I've imagined. I've written and rewritten countless stories, always hesitant to share them, never quite confident enough to let anyone else peek into the depths of my mind. It's always felt like just a hobby, something personal, something safe. But deep down, I've carried a quiet dream of becoming a writer, even though it felt a little foolish to hope for something so big. Now, after pouring myself into this story for what feels like a lifetime, I've finally done it-I've uploaded all my chapters to Wattpad, sharing this piece of me with the world. I know I still have so much to learn, and I'm always striving to get better, but I would truly appreciate any feedback-good, constructive criticism that can help me grow. This is just the beginning, but it feels like a huge step forward. Thank you for taking a chance on this book. Whatever brought you here, whether it was curiosity, a recommendation, or just a moment of wandering, I am truly grateful.

Faith💙 by Androgynous-

Having faith in something that literally isn't there but is is tiring. Also, the world hates you and you have to fight against the one thing you can't escape, sin. Choosing to fight this battle puts a target on your mind and sometimes body, and it can make or break you. ... Seems useless, right? Maybe, but it isn't, because either way it goes, we can't change it. It's scary, new, fun, and boring all at the same time. It's... not something humans would regularly do. But I'm taking the challenge and attempting to make it to a place called Heaven. Just read it, I'm not fighting you, I'm fighting FOR you. *I'm BEGGING A STRANGER!!!* As you know, I am a NEW Christian.👌👍👏❤😳😜 (and yes, best decision of my life, you should try it) HOWEVER, I am also human, which means Sin😈 Sweet, EVIL, Sin. (Chile, anyways, so!) In this story, you'll read about how I deal with Sin and do a terrible job at fighting what comes with loving the King of Kings at this stage of life.... PSA: I'm a working progress, and my POV of life is just WAY OFF! Another PSA from months after the book was finished: Please disregard the unorganized book! I was at a fiery point and my mind was wilding.

The Days With No Sun by hello-no-one

Sometimes we fear truth over reality. But things get dark and heavy and we play the blame game. We end up hurting others or ourselves even. We don't think before we act or we don't say before we do. This is the evolution of my madness. A cluster of rants and thoughts and poems for you guys. Everything is written how I wanted it to be rants will be long with few pauses and there will be mistakes I might have skipped over. Aha. Poems at the beginning from when I was 15 years old to now when Im 18. Truly a visual of my writing evolution. Edited by @ChemicalStarling who writes a lot but never posts! Read on, loves. I'll see you on the other side...
