Hidden Sorrows

What does it really mean to be the eldest?
The "leader," the one who always follows the rules. Dependable. Responsible. Mature enough to handle everything alone.
People think it's easy-that all it takes is looking after your younger siblings and setting a good example.

But no. It's far more than that.

Margarette De Leon is the picture-perfect daughter. The eldest of the De Leon family. Respectful, intelligent, composed-everything a parent could ask for.
Her name is always on the school's Facebook page, always on top of the class, always winning in every competition she joins. To everyone else, she has it all together.
They admire her. Envy her.

But they only see the surface.
No one talks about the pressure. The exhaustion. The quiet breakdowns.
Not even her oh-so-loving parents know what she truly carries inside.

Come and walk with Margarette as she begins to peel back the mask and reveal what it really means to be the eldest child.
Discover her truth. Discover her... Hidden Sorrows.
