The difficulties of change, depression, societal standards, friendships, insecurities, family, and our own demons, hang in the balance of todays teens. There are so many more issues and unrecognized things that teens struggle with everday and it is something that just isn't highlighted enough. ***** When most people look at teens they assume the way we are is because of the invention of the cellphone or social media, and due to the era we were born in, we don't understand what living "back then" was like. That we don't know how to live outside of the modernized society we were born in. That right there just goes to show that the things we don't talk about and the things that make our stories our own, are not recognized enough. There are so many underlining factors that contribute to the way we are today that deserve to be talked about. Things that we think others wont be able to understand. So, myself and some anonymous teens have come together to share our stories, talk about our demons, and talk about the things we never talk about. The things that you don't know, and the factors that were before modern time. Everyone has a story worth sharing, you just have to have the time to sit down and listen. #youarenotalone #freeyourself #THISISME (amazing cover art by: @soundthealarm)

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression
