Emily looked at her arm with satisfaction as the blood oozed out of her 'art' she hated to call them cuts even though thats what they were. The burning snapped her out of her thoughts as she added three more cuts,they were getting deeper and deeper but the pain reminded her she was still alive. She wondered how she got herself here. Maybe it was the loneliness,maybe it was the constant bullying from her classmates, no it had to be the verbal abuse from her family. Either way she never thought she'd self harm and when she started self harming she promised herself she wouldn't let them get deep, she promised herself she'd just keep them at Chicken Scratches. That's how they started. They started out as 'Chicken Scratches'. All Rights Reserved® Kala Clayton 2014©

The Mad House Is Where I Belong
I like inflicting pain. Not on others but on myself. Some people would call me depressed but I'm not. If anything the pain makes me happy. I started "self harming" at the mere age of nine. Or at least, that's what she called it. My therapist, I mean. She ended up giving me a life time supply of antidepressants and some shitty advice. I'm now eighteen, rotting in jail, and awaiting my death sentence. This is my story and if I'm quite honest, you don't want to hear it. +++ awards: ➵ Winner, Short Story Category, "Summer Book Awards" @Capybara100 ➵ Overall Winner, "Summer Book Awards" @Capybara100 status: ➵ started - 19/08/17 ➵ finished- 07/11/18 note: ➵ Please don't copy me.

After dating Morgan Stanford, a massive jock, she'd become quiet and reserved. She no longer did what she wanted. Everyone thought Ashley and Morgan had a perfect relationship, but how come Ashley would come in with bruises and cuts? Kai saw right through everything and he was determined to save Ashley. But how was the bullied emo kid going to fight the strongest guy in school? Not all heroes can save people without saving themselves first.Complete

Outcast
Heads up this story is pretty old and kinda bad so I don't rlly recommend reading😬 Anyway ~~~~ "P-please, just leave m-me alone," I whisper, mentally slapping myself for stuttering. "Oh? Does the outcast want to talk?" she asks. --- For Jamie, being a senior in high school isn't easy for them. Bullies treat them like trash everyday, and it's even worse when you're the odd one out. Literally, being non-binary in a Christian school. Until a few nice people start reaching out...maybe it won't be so bad... ‼️CAUTION//TW: CONSTANT MENTIONS SELF HARM, SUICIDE, GRIEF, AND BULLYING‼️Complete
