Depression isn't just about cutting and self harm. Everyone has their own way of dealing with their sadness.
Not everyone can push depression into a cabinet and keep moving, most people have to take it out on themselves and plaster a smile upon their face when needed.
But is self harm the answer? No.
Who knows, maybe someone or something great could come your way. Just wait...
Vanessa is a 16 year old girl with a problem. Wait...scratch that. A HUGE problem. It's depression. No one notices, so that makes it way worse. She feels like no one is by her side, like no one cares about her.
Constant bullying and tons of family issues are breaking the poor girl down, but when she meets Dominic and becomes friends with her biggest bully, Cameron, everything seems to change.
Can they save her?

Dakota never asked to be hated. She only wanted to be wanted. But, the moment she met the Marauders, she knew it will never be possible. Whether it's comenting on her weird hair, or picking on every single imperfection, the Marauders always found a way to make her cut herself that night. She doens't even know what she did to them. But, when the secrets of her list of disorders reaches the ears of the Marauders, they try to help her, along with her only friends, Lily Evans and Severous Snape, but she stays a broken, empty shell.

Why We Laugh (#Wattys2018)
"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet." I thought bullying didn't exist. And if it did, I wasn't a bully. Except I was. We all were. Not because we beat kids up. Or we called people freaks. Or gave them swirlies. Because we never did that. It was because we laughed." For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would. And the worst part is...they laugh along. 1.Eliza hides behind the brightest smile and stuttered words. 2.Reece desires the perfect body and will destroy himself to do it. 3.Hunter is the bad boy with sick suicidal jokes, screwing both Prozac and girls. But it is more than just those three: 4.London sits in her wheelchair trying to be normal 5. Ashton needs to return to the surface of people and stop cowering in the digital world 6. Griffith hides his autistic emotions. The story is told by a girl who always laughs. Drama, love, pain, tears, laughter, depression, weaknesses. We all laugh. But what does our laugh truly effect? "Hands down this is the best book I've read on wattpad. I don't even know what to say. I mean... I just.... Wow." -Irxdeo This book deals with heavy topics such as depression, suicide, eating disorders, abuse, so read carefully. I want to say some of these characters and scenes in the beginning are based on real people and real events, but some are not. Hi, guys! Thanks for checking this story out. Remember be brave and kind.Complete

"I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone.
