We are Grades. 

Can you smile? Can you laugh? Can you make friends?

The placement test will tell you your grade, your place in society.

As for me, I'm an A. 

I don't tell people the things I think. I don't tell them the rage that sometimes takes me. Those are qualities of the F's. I'm not an F. I'm a A. 

I'm friendly, I'm social, I'm nice. I'm an A. 

I have to be.

Soldier In Me by TheGeminidMind

This is an older story, I've gotten better I promise. "I first held a gun when I was eight. I remember a man strolling across a line of other children like me, he said: 'We all have a soldier in us.' I found my soldier. But then, it became all I was. " Being forced into the army at a young age, Olivia knew nothing more than fighting. But after suffering a debilitating injury, she is forced to retire to her dead parents' home. There she'll find the secrets of her world and her humanity. Edit: I'm glad I decided to go against my anxiety and post this story, thanks so much to all the people who have read my story and commented! Your advice and compliments mean the world to me!

Help Me Please by cupcakegirl116

Society tells us be ourselves. When we are society judges. If we dare share what's on our mind we get judged even by our friends, some people keep it in just like I do. Some of the worst things happen mentally, and physically. When it comes time to show our emotions we can't because we worry people will think about us. Will they think we are lying, or being fake just to get attention?

Scavengers {#Wattys2016} by Double001

The New World Order....The Pure Ones they called themselves. They took everything from us...from me. It's all about survival. Survival of the fittest.... I have the education of a tenth grader.... I dreamed of being a doctor.... We once had a home. A place to call our own. Yet that was taken from us... Now all we are just doing is trying to survive. Because that's the best thing to do.... To live on. One day though...one day....I'll take it all back.

The times I stayed up til 1:00 am by Wolfbok

My life did go to shit. Triggers: My life depression has mentions of suicidal thought, cutting, and other things related to death. It's also cringe 2018 teen stuff. If you don't like these topics, don't read this book of my experience with depression. Look for another book. Highest rank: #3 in acryforhelp. It mattered when I was younger :)

Markiplier's Wakeup Call (Markiplier X Reader) by DanielAlfieJayTaylor

You're just a small trans boy who adores Markiplier, your hero. But when you finally get the chance to meet him, it all goes wrong...or does it? Trigger Warning: Mentions of suicide, depression and other touchy subjects, if you are sensitive IN ANY WAY to topics such as these, I recommend not reading this. (Y/N) = Your Name (F/C) = Favorite Color (H/C) = Hair Color (E/C) = Eye Color (L/N) = Last Name (Y/C) = Your Country (B/F) = Best Friend (D/N) = Dead Name (U/N) = User Name

The Intelligence Test by blursified

Once upon another world, there was a system. Get a good score on the test, and you get a good job. And if you get a bad score? Well... Let's hope we don't find out. A boy named Varolen is about to take this fated test as well, pressured by expectations everywhere. Follow along on his journey to realize.. Numbers aren't everything.

FACELESS by vannataymarie

[Originally written in 2017 for an assignment; expanded and reworked overtime, though eventually I decided this was as far as I was going to go with it. Hope you like it!] As is customary when one reaches twelve years of age, the Order has manufactured your very own Face. As all Faces are created uniquely for the individual, operating based on DNA given to the Order by your kind doctors and physicians, it is required that you wear your Face as often as you can (excluding meals and sleep) to ensure maximum results. Such results, as you may know, include the following: -increased intellect -increase in motor skills/capabilities -drop in anxiety, depression, mood swings...etc. etc. -regulated impulse control to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you -regulated mood to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you * Note that Face technology, while it does improve mental and emotional stability, will not and cannot help or fix physical disabilities, nor can it fix serious mental disabilities. See your local doctor to receive treatment for such ailments, as your Face is incapable of doing so. Your Face, as you may have heard, will be your new identity from this day forward. You cannot go anywhere without it. Damage or loss of your Face or anyone else's Face will lead to severe consequences. Neglect to wear it, or refusal to wear it, will result in punishment.

Dissent by EGomes

Test day. The day we knew was coming and had been dreading the most. Today is the end of what we have known and the beginning of the unknown. We will be tested, graded, and shipped off to where our tests assign us. There is no freedom of choice, no independence, and nothing to look forward to. All of us have been together since the beginning and can remember the good ol' days of playing outside, dressing how we wanted, and being free to be who we were and wanted to be without having to worry about getting shot because of it. What I remember most is going to the library and having the ability to choose whatever book we wanted to and in those days there were too many books to choose from. Those days are long gone. The ruling government now makes all our choices for us. The freedom of everything was taken away along with all of our rights, until today. We are ready to fight back and take control of our country for our generation and those that follow. We may be 14 years old, but we have a mission and that mission is to fight for and regain the freedoms that were lost. Today is the beginning of the unknown.

Planetary by Solar_Beast

General TW don't read if you're sensitive to heavy/kinda dark topics if not thanks for reading Planetary!

Society, Me and Life: The Truth by idkhttybimysm

You have a right to feel the way you do. You have a right to keep things private or to share and speak about these experiences to others. No matter what you choose, it is your decision to make. However, do not let your fear dismiss the truth. Do not believe the lies you constantly tell yourself to ignore the pain you are feeling. Do not let the sum of someone else's trauma silence you.
