Author's Note: 


Seventeen, arose out of a desire to clearly explain all of the experiences I had in high school. My time in high school has not been perfect, I have had highs and lows. Lows that pushed me to think about myself differently, lows that pushed against my biases, my comfort level, my everything. What makes Seventeen special is that I finally came away feeling like I could talk about my experiences, not just complaining about them, but speaking about them in a reflective and productive way. A way to inspire new growth, a way to heal, a way to teach, and a way to learn to laugh again. Thank you for choosing to read, Seventeen, and I hope that by reading this, you grow a little bit stronger and better too. 

Thank you,

Poetry's Tale to Tell by The_Potato_Writer

One sample of my work (Note not all poems will be so serious, some are story like others are light hearted): "Every day, something happens... Someone gets bullied, Just because "They're different" "Nerdy" "Annoying" "Have no sense of fashion..." All those things are of unimportance...! Everyone has a choice, Don't let what someone says, change it! You could stand down... Watch as the victim pleads for help... That's the easy path, But is it the right one? Do you want that on your consciousness? The pain can be so bad... It takes a life... Then it's too late, Regret becomes your best mate... A depressing thought... Although. It doesn't have to be that way...! YOU can make it change! Stand tall, speak loud, Stand up for what is right! That one action... Can save a life...! You could make a friend, A REAL friend. Spread awareness and Right the wrong! Be brave! For those who suffer... You're not alone...! If there's no knight to slay The evil demons away... Find it within you, to be strong! If you get no help, save yourself! You deserve happiness, and it will come! For karma never forgets you! Nor your enemies... Once it comes around, it will go around... Speak out, you will be heard...! The era of bullying will be no longer...!"

Under the Same Sky [BOYXBOY] by alex_akhenate

'What's your favourite thing in the world?' 'The sky.' 'The sky?' 'Yes.' 'Why the sky?' 'Because it keeps reminding us that no matter who we are or where we come from, whether we're black or white, gay or straight, we are all under the same sky.' ************************************************* Two boys. Two stories. One school. This is not your typical boy meets boy story. This is a story where the bad boy is not the jock and the good boy not the scrawny teenager. This is a story about love. A love so pure as the two find themselves by losing themselves in each other. A story about love, about acceptance and about hope. For you see, this is the greatest love story ever written.

Finding Myself ✓ by sihle0071

[COMPLETELY EDITED AND FINISHED.] "Being abused your whole life isn't nice. Being told that you are not worthy and being punished for all the little mistakes is not nice. I have never had a normal childhood, that includes my siblings. I think if a person asks me the definition of normal I won't know but i think im slowly learning what it is." Join a girl as she navigates her way through her last year of highschool, dealing with abuse while she tries to find herself in the midst of everything. Will she be able to overcome the obstacles that come her way or would she crumble and give up on life. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO ABUSE, DEPRESSION, SUICIDE, RAPE AND MATURE LANGUAGE AND LESBIAN FICTION. ☆All names, characters and places are fictious. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. Hope you read and enjoy the book. Started: 8 January 2023. Finished: 3 October 2023. Edited: 8 January 2024 (but you may come across some spelling errors. Sorry about that.)

Rumours [BxB] ✔️ by redxstorm

↞↞↞♛↠↠↠ Everyone makes at least one mistake in their life; if you don't, you're not human. I just happen to be one of those people who make a lot of mistakes. To start with, there were the Rumours. You know, those things that only powerful people can make up? Yeah. Those. They were the beginning of everything that ever went wrong in my life, but also the thing that led me to the end. Although, I didn't know that at the time, so a few bruises and kisses down the line, I found myself faced with a big problem. I had to choose between three people, all of whom had been lying about everything for months. That wasn't an easy task for someone like me, but the biggest issue? The one who made me cry the most tears was the one I couldn't help but love. ↞↞↞♛↠↠↠ "I never meant to hurt you, River." "Then why did you do it? Why did you do all of those things? I'm not some toy for you to use when you feel like it and then throw away when you're done." ↞↞↞♛↠↠↠ Completed ✔️ Started: 15/03/19 Finished: 18/08/19

Seduced by the Alphas by Xonereth

You can read the uncut version of this book over on https://archiveofourown.org/works/61769338 Life could be so unfair, everyone adored my big sister Ava, yes everyone. Ava was the most popular girl in school, she was outgoing, beautiful, and shone like a radiant star. Our parents told her she could easily be a model or anything she wanted really, and Ava with all the confidence of a film star strode through life dazzling all in her wake. She had thousands of followers on her Instagram, Whatsapp, and Tic Toc, and what did I have. Well I had a creative streak and an introverted nature, and I lived in Ava's shadow. The only reason it seemed anyone spoke to me was to get my big sister's attention. I felt like a butler or a handmaiden to a Queen. It was like I never had my own identity. No one saw me at all, until that one day someone did, and I remember it like yesterday. Did I make a good decision probably not, would I do it again, I am unsure. But just once someone noticed me, yes me, and it felt so good. It was good at first, but by the time I had realized the good would never last, the jaws of the trap were closed. I was far away and at his mercy, and yet another stood by me, one who could rescue me from my mistakes.
