12 years old...
we get told that if a boy pulls our hair or teases us by taking away our pencil case it meant that they liked us, but we didn't like it that much
15 years old...
walking home after school was dreadful because we got looks from head to toe from other boys but no one thought it was a big deal
16 years old...
girls got rated by boys from 1 to 10 on their looks and if you were below five you would be considered "ugly" or "lame" by the whole school and have a terrible school year.If you were a ten then EVERYONE would love you until the next day when another girl wore a shorter short than you and by that time it would be crystal clear that none of your friends were real.
Do girls really want to accept this life and be like every other person and ignore these day to day problems or actually fight and try to change the society's stereotyped rules that are loaded into peoples minds.

Too Afraid To Hope
I stare at the girl in the mirror, feeling the horrible scratchy material of the skinny jeans, harsh against my skin. I hate skinny jeans. But I want to fit in. I want to be one of those pretty, confident skinny girls. I want to look at the mirror and acknowledge that I am beautiful and appealing to boys. I'm not just a fat lump. I want to feel love like in the love stories. I want to know that someone out there is right for me. That someone loves me. I know that my Mom and my big brother love me. But that's all. I'm not even one of those half-decent girls that have one best friend: I am no one. **** This is the story of thirteen year old, Adeline, who is mercilessly made fun of because of her size. This is the story of how she proved those girls wrong. This proves that if you're not happy either, YOU CAN CHANGE!Complete
Why come for me? Student/teacher
AN- Hi, this is only half of the book, the rest of this books on my other profile @emmadunn98 and it's the same name and front cover as it is on here as well! Thanks for looking at this page, hope you give my book a go I really appreciate it! Xx My names Clara. I'm just a 15, nearly 16 year old girl from England; rainy, cold England. I'm not pretty or the perfect weight or have the nicest things, even though many people would think I did with my dad owning his own business. I've got some problems at home and my sisters pretty dependent on me, but what can I do, other than take it all in my stride? But I'm just me, with some added attitude. So why did the new hot teacher come for me? I'm Scott Myer, just out of uni and got a brand new job. Hopefully this job will keep me straight headed so I can have back the only thing I want from back home. I've started today and already I'm falling back into my old ways, hopefully teaching in the new school can keep me on track for once... So why when I see my tutor class for morning registration, do I see one girl, that I can't seem to get out of my head? And why do I keep coming for her? This is my first book so you might see a few mistakes, but I do try to go over my work as best as possible. Contains mature content, so if your under 16 I suggest u give this one a miss, unless your okay with that sort of thing. I do put a warning at the beginning of the chapter and I put a small warning just before it starts for those that don't like the sexual parts, but want to read the rest of the story! XxComplete
Catastrophically Carla (Lesbian Story)
Ages 14+ (lesbian concepts and some profanity) This is not your everyday love story, okay? It's not a chick flick either. The events and themes within my pages have meaning, depth, truth-and most of all, reality. You are about to be taken on an adventure about a girl who's life is not like everybody else's. I look like a normal teen girl, I mean, I have hair and two eyes and two hands and feet like everybody else, but I couldn't feel more different. I have two moms, yes. Let's just get that out there before you start reading and close my diary like everyone in my life has shut me out of theirs. All I want is a normal life with normal friends who don't judge me because of my home situation. I don't even remember the last time I went on a sleepover or called somebody my age. I don't mean to be a downer, because it does get better. Life gets better. Struggles are only temporary, I know that now. And by my last words reach your eyes, I've come a long way, and have grown to see potential in myself. I'm sharing this with you because I want to make a difference. I know now that I'm not the only one in the world that feels alone. I've been there, done that, and there's more loneliness to come, but for now, I feel more prepared for it. I know how it feels to sit by yourself at lunch every day and how it feels to watch others go to prom with dates and feel like shit because you don't think you'd even have any friends to go with. Please ready my diary. I am much older now, and much more wiser, and I can't wait for you to realize the potential in yourself, too.Complete
Mr Possessive ✅
"Xavier, are you out of your mind? You can't hit anyone you want." I tried to pull him away from the guy. With his temper, he might send him to the hospital for quite a long time. Xavier suddenly stood up, he took my hands in his and pushed me to the wall behind me. He looked deep into my eyes. I got scared, I saw him angry before but never at me. He closed his eyes and put his head against mine. "You make me do crazy things. I'm not letting you talk to any guy from now on. I know I promised that I'll behave, but I can't see you talk or laugh with any guy." How can he be possessive over our juniors? ****************** Hello. I'm Anastasia. You can call me Anna. I'm a normal school girl. Like other kids of my age, I also don't like school. But my reason is different from them. I get bullied every day. It is the same at home also. My cousins bully me. My uncle and aunt only listen to their children. I get punished for their mistakes too. But suddenly one by one all of this bullying stopped. I don't know the reason, but from the moment I started spending time with this new guy who transferred to our school. Everything bad had stopped. *************** Hey. I'm Xavier. I hate school, but I still go there so I can entertain myself. I got expelled from 9 schools already. You see, I can't tolerate ill-mannered people and in school, you can find a bunch of them. So it is fun to make them see their place. In this new school, I found a girl. She was so fragile and oblivious of her beauty. She made me feel warm. So I followed her. I followed her literally everywhere. **************** Hello, lovelies. Hope you like the story.Complete
Love x 2

When I was younger, I had two best friends they were twins and lived just down the road to me. They moved away when I was 10 saying "they'd be back" that was nearly 8 years ago and I'm still waiting. People think I'm weak and I get beaten up on a regular bases. I'm not weak though, I just don't care if they hit me or not. They mean nothing to me, but if they are bullying me they are leaving others alone. I heal quickly anyway. The one thing that gets me is the feeling of being different. Just why do I feel different from every other loser in this school? What happens when Kyle realises, why he feels different? When the twins come back into his life is he ready to embrace that difference? How will his bullies react when he finally fights back?Complete
A Boy From Manning Heights ✔️
"that's rich coming from a pretty boy" I narrow my eyes. "I'm not a pretty boy." He smirks standing from the desk and reaching forward twirling a piece of my hair between his fingers. "not in the traditional sense no...but you still bleed daddy's money" I reach up gripping his wrist, maybe harder then necessary; suddenly angry. "you don't know me Jasper, don't pretend you do" He sucks in a breath before leaning forward and putting his mouth next to my ear "I know you're so desperate for me, you can't fucking think straight" My breath catches and my eyes flick up meeting his not believing I heard what I did, but there's no denying it when he pushes me against his door and his lips meet my own hungry, angry, frustrated. ••• Jasper Collins is not expecting to ever step foot inside Balton's Boys School. A private behavioural school for those who can afford it, but after one too many expulsions and a scholarship opportunity Jasper finds himself stuck in a place filled with pretty boys who've done nothing worse then forget to shine their silver spoon. Beckett Chambers took on a mentorship position at Balton's to stay away from home. He could care less about status and social image he just wants to find a way out of Manning Heights and Balton's was supposed to be his safe haven until then. What he didn't expect was for his mentee to show up and make everything a whole lot more complicated. ________________________________________ Disclaimers: •This is a bXb story! •This is a LIGHTLY edited, first draft *respectful* constructive criticism is welcome🤍 Cover art: Created on Canva, unfortunately I don't know the artist who created the artwork :( Started: December 2020 Completed: December 2022 •• #1 in QueerLove -04/05/22 #1 in boysschool -05/15/22 #2 in MxM -05/05/22 #2 in Confused -05/19/22 #1 in Poorboy -09/08/22 #1 in Queer -05/08/22 #1 in Mentor -07/5/22 #1 in bxblove -09/01/22 #1 in boardingschool-12/16/22 #1 in delinquentComplete
Society, Me and Life: The Truth
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.
~Reality~

The Possessive Gang Leaders Princess
I sit down on my bike looking around the school parking lot. Listening to music, I stand up begin to walk through the student-less parking lot. Honestly, it's not like I meant to be late. My music cut out causing me to hear a whistle. I stop in my tracks and pull my headphones down to my neck. Turning around, I seen a group of men with one guy who just smirked at me. "You new here beautiful?" one of the guys asked. "What do you think Einstein?" cocking my brow. "Ohh. Challenging? I like." he says walking towards me, about two inches away. "Really?" biting my lip, as he continued walking towards me. He reaches out and grabs my hip, "Mmhmm," smiling down at me. Swiftly, I grab his hand, turn him around, kick him right above the back of his knee, and pushes down so he's on his knees in front of me in a position of which I could brake his arm, "What a shame, 'cause personally, I don't like fuck boys with various STD'S." I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert. "Anyone else?" they stare at me blankly. "Didn't think so." When fuck boy tries to get up, I take my foot and slam him back down. Looking back at the boys, I say, "Later boys." Then, I turn and leave. ~~~~ Truce Mane is a girl who recently moved to New York with her youngest niece and nephew along with her uncle Mike. Truce went through many things as a child.

Get inside the life's of three bestfriends as they take you through the ups and downs in their life and maybe even make you look at the world a different way. . Excerpt from the story: I don't understand how a person can look so sad and calm at the same time. Isis leans back and sighs 'What your friend said was right...' 'What?' 'The part where he said that I am a mean b*tch. And that everyone in school talks about me behind my back...' She continues '...I know people call me names behind my back. I know that if they could, they would burn me alive' she chuckles as if it's something funny. 'But do you know why I still am what I am?.....it's because I don't feel like smiling in front of those fake people. I won't ever go out of my way to keep them happy. And honestly every person is like that, everyone is selfish. Me too. Everyone will only try to please you when you have everything. The difference is, I show my bad side and they don't, they are good at hiding. But it's okay I don't want to pretend to be good...' . Not at all a cliché story. #484 in feminist 21/02/20Complete
