Take a walk with me, not literally of course but a walk in my shoes through a lifetime filled with confusion, fear, hurt, and finally acceptance. It's not easy being different especially when you've spent nearly an entire lifetime alive being told you're wrong but we do it. Now, then and in the days to come. Maybe, hopefully, this walk will help you understand, and open your eyes to the plight many children living in the shadows must endure daily.All Rights Reserved

Why Are You Obsessed with My Race? by cjacks1124

I wonder why people feel like they have the right to ask me about my personal life. I don't know how many times a day I am asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you mixed with?" My replies to those people are, "Why do you care where I'm from? It is your business to know what I am mixed with? How dare you overstep your boundaries and violate my space? Society judges my skin color, my hair, and my exotic features. It does not accept me for being who I am. I often hear, "You are too light to be black" or "You are too dark to be white." They size me up with their eyes of hate as if I asked for their opinion. I don't owe you an explanation. I am not on trial because of my background. I didn't choose my race. I did not ask to be here -- but I am here. I am not ashamed of who I am. You asked me, "Who am I?" The real question is, why are you obsessed with my race? Why is it any of your concern? I am Stella. I am 16 years old, and I am proud of who I am! I am biracial, and I am a human being just like you.

where you are by Twisted_Romantik

"you promised me forever but you lied. You're not the same person I grew up with, you changed." "You're right, I have but you have too. It's like I don't recognize the person standing in front of me." I looked around and noticed my family had been waiting in case things got physical. "I think me being here is a mistake. I'm leaving and never coming back." "if you want to leave don't expect me to wait for you." "I don't expect you to wait for me, move on with your life." "I love you but it seems like I made mistake doing that." those words cut like a knife, I was heartbroken and all I could do was walk away after hearing that.

Deception 2 by __AnonymousWriter

Life takes you to mysterious places. I thought I knew all there was to know, but apparently, I've been living a lie. And yes, it's crazy. Who knew that I would find out like that? Who knew? I sure as hell didn't. Life is really messed up sometimes. Why did this happen to me? In fact, what else is there to know? Is my name really mine? Am I really seventeen years old? At this point, I don't even know who I am. Who am I? I am alone. In need of answers. Will I ever get them? How far is anyone really to go for answers? I mean, what would you do? Where would you go? Who do you turn to? I need answers. How do I get them? Life is painful and deceptive. It is filled with hate, rage, and lies. Why can't that change? Why do people lie? Is it for protection? Who are you protecting me from? So many questions. Very little answers. So again I ask you, what are we really to do when someone is being deceptive?

First Love, The Sinner & The Saint by LouLeigh481

Have you ever felt like life wasn't enough, like you were going through the motions day in, day out, all you wanted was a change. Well one day I woke up and made that change, I was no longer the well behaved boy that did as he was told, I was a new person and I wanted to do things my way. I wanted to do what made me feel alive, even if that was murder of innocent people, I wanted to grab someone and watch the life drain out of their faces, it pleased me.. it made me feel alive. This is my story of heartbreak and turmoil, friends lost and friends gained, families torn apart by my needs. This is my life, and I'm proud to be the man I am.

JUDGE ME, I DARE YOU! by kassy_gennifar

JUGDE ME; I DARE YOU! If you've never messed up...cast a stone at me. I sensed their rage from the way they looked at me. I heard the disapproval of the world and felt the hate from the society. From the way the universe worked on me... it seemed like it was against me. I did the most unthinkable things... I am sure my parents in heaven will be disappointed ... they might hate me forever- and my friends; embarrassed of my existence. One thing I know for sure is- am not the only one who lost their way while trying to figure things out, am not the only one who has worn her shirt inside out, am not the only one who has gotten into street fights, am not the only one who has preferred the lies to the truth...am not the only one who is cursed! Can I not be forgiven? can't my imperfections be ignored? So, unless you're God; unless you've got perfection in your DNA- unless you've never messed up...cast a stone at me. JUDGE ME, I DARE YOU! AMADI JENNIFER.

Finding Lights In The Darkness by _iseleeyyy

Walk With Me by Olivezpicklez

(DISCONTINUED) I walked all the way to the park. I waited every day for at least thirty minutes. I walked back my confidence withering. Every. Single. Time. I was tired of waiting, I had my hopes up for way too long. One more walk, one more wait. He will be there. And he was. Lost on the path of not only life but her own decisions, Harlow Swan takes a chance to find her long lost friend, or crush, should I say. Meeting up with him again after two years, she realizes that maybe life wasn't so bad after all, and maybe there were some things that weren't as horrible as she thought. But not long after, things begin to go downhill, and her hopes begin to crumble. Harlow thinks that maybe once she's put her life back together, along with her hope, maybe everything would be normal again. But maybe everything wasn't meant to be normal, maybe it was all meant to be awful and way too truthful for her liking. It isn't just any normal story, after all; it's hers.
