Summary
Lizzie has a perfect life. Good grades, flawless features, loving family, popular friends, caring boyfriend. Everyone thinks she has it all. But does she really?
Outside, Lizzie is happy, but inside, she's hurting. Her world from her point of view is dark and meaningless. She faces insecurity, failure, rejection. She has fears: fears of falling, fears of not meeting up to expectations, fears of losing it all. Her life is spinning out of control. But no one knows.
She is sinking further and further into depression. What can she do? Who can help her?
---
Read this story to find out Lizzie's beginnings as an insecure person, how she nearly took her own life, and finally her journey to recovery.
All seriousness aside, there's also comedy and romance, so enjoy!
Also includes anorexia, depression, abuse, cyber bullying. I may be exaggerating or over-dramatizing such events (some wonder how can so many things happen to one person, but it is true; people from all around the world do experience such problems, maybe all, in their daily lives) but in this case, I hope that by doing so, you may be able to relate to this story, if you happen to be facing any of these problems yourself.
This is adapted from a true story about my best friend (I love you Diana!) and about other people I know who also face these problems. Thank you all.

Blue Hair and Bruised Knees
My life used to be pretty boring. Everything was average. Normal family, normal looks, normal house, normal job, normal life. The only non-boring aspect of my life was my best friend which was only because she always managed to mess it up somehow. I didn't really mind much because it kept things interesting. That is until she disappeared leaving me to care for her fatherless child with nothing more than a few hundred pounds and a sorry note. She did ruin my old life. She ruined everything that I'd actually cared for. My parents hated the fact that I was 'throwing my life away' for a child that wasn't mine. Not to mention illegally. I dyed my hair blue in rebellion. My own way of saying "F*CK YOU!" ...They kicked me out shortly after. I couldn't find a decent job in the area and the rumors became so vicious that I just left and never looked back. Old life: Destroyed, unraveled, completely gone. Let's see how long my new life lasts shall we?Complete
