Glass Heart by 00Lucas_sacuL00

Just a short story I wrote and am very proud of, TWs include mental illness, death of family, teen pregnancy (breif mentions), neglect, toxic home life, suicide, depression, self harm, running away, self-loathing, breaking mirrors and the recovery process of mental illness. List of help lines if needed: https://checkpointorg.com/global/ (btw there's so much symbolism it would make my English teacher proud and the writing style is also strange at best, good luck)

Instead, she begins to question the point of it all. Refusing to act like the good girl she's always been, Lucy finds love, hurt and confusion, capturing her thoughts in an anonymous high school newspaper column that causes (big) problems of its own.

Anti hero by bob-steve

Hetty wants nothing to do with heroes. Three years after her mother mysteriously vanished, she's been stuck with her abusive father, who takes his anger out on her. She despises everything about heroes-their fame, their perfection, the way the world worships them. She's content being the class mean girl, pushing everyone away. But when a new superhero transfers to her school, everything changes. Hetty discovers she has powers of her own-and that her mother wasn't just any hero, but one of the greatest to ever live. Her entire bloodline is legendary. Now, she's invited to join an elite academy for heroes, a place where everyone expects her to follow in her mother's footsteps. But Hetty isn't her mother. As a high-stakes competition looms, she must decide: will she embrace the hero's path others have set for her, or forge her own destiny-even if it means becoming something the world fears? Some heroes are born. Others are made. Hetty? She was never meant to be either. Warning* includes abuse, self harm, suicide attempt, and bad language

Blue Ivy Agency by Kummie_Love

I raised up the knife with full force and dragged it close to my neck. I was about to slice it but a soft pleading voice inside me cried. This is the first time I'm attempting suicide. Normally, a thought like this would never cross my mind but what happened the day before is enough for me to jump into a well. Death is inevitable but it came too soon.. I never knew that something like this would happen. My life was what thousands of people are wishing for but I guess nothing is permanent. Rich parents... perfect grades..... Perfect looks .... Cara, aren't you ready? My aunt, Joke barged into my room and asked...... Wait, what's that in your hands?? You want to kill yourself?? She rushed to me and slapped the knife from my hands. What's all this? If you're not careful, I'll take you to a boarding school across the country! As if I care, I replied icily. I expected her to continue talking and start lecturing me, I was already planning to ignore her but she suprised me by saying "Be ready in ten minutes" then she left. Her parents died...She got sent to a boarding school because of her behaviors hoping she'll stop..... Blending into the new life She finds a reason to live Only to be betrayed Turn the pages of the book to find out.
