This is based on a true story about a young girl battling an eating disorder. The book follows her journey as she gets worse and worse and the illness takes over her as a person. If you're reading this and have or do suffer from an eating disorder, I hope you recover and don't take a turn for the worst. You are beautiful inside and out and the one thing you may think is doing good for you is actually destroying you. I'm not saying it will be easy but you will get there, stay strong.

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Complete

Unnoticed
This is a true story one that's difficult to read... a simple story that talks about some hard things. It's a story about a girl and her mind. Most of you will stop and look away now, thinking that it will be boring, and I'm not going to stop you from walking away. It's your decision. Life is full of those. Decisions, choices that we make which each change the course of our life. I recommend you read this book. It's not your typical girl meets guy story. No it has nothing to do with that, but it does show you something that I think to humanity is more important than that, and truly I am not saying this because I am the author but if you read this book I don't think that it is one of the decisions you will regret in life. It isn't easy to read, so consider it a challenge in which you have nothing to lose if you participate. So I ask you, Why not participate? " I stared into the mirror and I knew; I simply knew what I was getting into. This was my decision. The one that decided to take my joy out of life. To suck it away, and I just watched. I just watched as my soul got carried away in the wind. I watched knowing that it was all the voice's fault. The monster that raged inside of me took control, and I again just watched as I let go of my grasp on it. It broke lose with a feral scream, and so that was when chaos begun..."Complete

Starving For Help
"I smile everyday. I live my life like nothing is wrong with me. No one would ever guess that I'm screaming inside or that I've secretly been hiding this huge part of my life.

Always, Jessie (Completed)
Welcome! I write in all different genres and for all different ages. Some, like this book, are a bit more dramatic. Others are completely silly. I've been told I should stick with one age range or one genre so I can brand myself and market to niche markets. But there are so many stories I want to tell! And I don't think of myself as a brand. I think of myself as a storyteller. That's why I'm excited to join Wattpad. The creativity I've discovered just in the past few days is amazing! Always, Jessie has already been published. I can only share part of this book due to publisher guidelines, but I'll be posting once or twice a week until then. Description: Jessie is an ambitious but lonely girl struggling with an eating disorder and exercise addiction. After a life-threatening incident sends her to the hospital, Jessie agrees to enter a residential treatment facility, where she meets a diverse group of young women also on the journey to recovery. Reviewers have called this inspirational novel "amazingly honest and poignant" and "an eye-opener for how food disorders can overtake young people." Personal Note: Many books on eating disorders focus on the illness and a heroine who makes a magical recovery in the last few pages. When I struggled with bulimia and exercise addiction, I hated those types of books. I wanted to write a novel that more accurately reflected the journey of recovery people go through. I didn't just magically get better one day. I went into treatment and worked hard on recovery. Jessie is not me, but she does reflect my experiences and the experiences of the friends I met as I got better. If you're a reader struggling with food or weight issues, I've compiled a list of resources where you can find help. Many allow you to remain anonymous! http://www.megancassidyauthor.com/eating-disorder-help.html Copyright Information: No part of this book may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means.

Aria's Story
Background: I have an older brother named Chris, and a younger sister named Reagan. My parents picked our names last minute because they didn't really care about what they were going to name us. My family lives in a huge house in Texas. My dad is a doctor and my mom is a lawyer so our family is pretty much rich. My parents rarely pay attention to any of us because they never wanted us. They give us money every month so that we won't have to bother them when we need money for something. I could probably be happy about that if my life was actually good and not a living hell. My brother is 23 years old so he doesn't live with us anymore. He's really smart and he's been at Yale since he was 19. He's majoring in music. My little sister is 15 years old and she's super friendly. She's also really smart, but she doesn't act like it because she doesn't want to be judged. She's one of the most popular girls at our school and she loves to be center of attention. That's how it all starts.Complete![My Life: Feeling of Love [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/350935235-256-k53352.jpg)
