When the bullying at school gets a little to intense to handle, what will she do? With her dead-beat father and her...absent mother, she knows nobody will notice if she were to stop eating, and that's just what she does. But will she survive the road to 'happiness' ? And what's with the new boy?

Holding Me Back
16 year old Christine looks perfectly fine on the outside, but it's everything on the inside that's holding her back and slowly tearing her apart. Using her fake smile to push through all the pain, no one really knows what's going on with her. Her best friend Riley, a peppy optimistic cheerleader, is the only one who knows that she is battling anorexia and is sometimes depressed, and although her family knows all the struggles she's going through, it's hard to tell how she's actually ever feeling. Struggling with the occasional OCD attacks, Christine's barriers have fallen apart, and is never in the mood to talk about how she's feeling. Some things change though when she meets the new kid, Kyle, who might be hiding some secrets of his own as well.Complete
Why We Laugh (#Wattys2018)
"The laugh cracked loudly into the school's atrium, like a shot of a gun. A quick bullet. A deadly bullet the pierces through flesh and bone. I realized then... that a laugh was as lethal as a bullet." I thought bullying didn't exist. And if it did, I wasn't a bully. Except I was. We all were. Not because we beat kids up. Or we called people freaks. Or gave them swirlies. Because we never did that. It was because we laughed." For these three kids, a playful laugh cuts deeper than a fist ever would. And the worst part is...they laugh along. 1.Eliza hides behind the brightest smile and stuttered words. 2.Reece desires the perfect body and will destroy himself to do it. 3.Hunter is the bad boy with sick suicidal jokes, screwing both Prozac and girls. But it is more than just those three: 4.London sits in her wheelchair trying to be normal 5. Ashton needs to return to the surface of people and stop cowering in the digital world 6. Griffith hides his autistic emotions. The story is told by a girl who always laughs. Drama, love, pain, tears, laughter, depression, weaknesses. We all laugh. But what does our laugh truly effect? "Hands down this is the best book I've read on wattpad. I don't even know what to say. I mean... I just.... Wow." -Irxdeo This book deals with heavy topics such as depression, suicide, eating disorders, abuse, so read carefully. I want to say some of these characters and scenes in the beginning are based on real people and real events, but some are not. Hi, guys! Thanks for checking this story out. Remember be brave and kind.Complete
