"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me. I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve. But seriously, some people think that's the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with." "What are you saying?"

Will Democracy Survive by urbancowgirl0244

This is a fictional story based on a many actual events both historical and current. Join Anni on a journey through the heart of Florida's ideological battlegrounds as she investigates the roots of school book bans and anti-woke policies. In a state embroiled in controversy, Anni confronts conspiracy and bigotry with unwavering resolve and historical truths. Florida stands among the 18 states that have implemented laws curbing discussions on race, gender identity, and sexual orientation in classrooms. The "Stop W.O.K.E" Act, enacted in 2022, imposes restrictions on educators, prohibiting teachings that might evoke feelings of guilt or anguish among students regarding their racial heritage. Amidst the legislative maze lies a climate of fear and censorship, with the looming threat of civil liability and job loss haunting educators who dare to challenge the status quo. But behind the façade of legalities lurks a deeper battle fueled by far-right groups, exploiting social media and the church pulpit to wage a religious crusade against perceived adversaries, both real and imagined. In this war, casualties abound, with the church and the fundamental rights of citizens caught in the crossfire. 'Anni challenges White-Nationalism and Anti-Woke sentiment' delves into the heart of a struggle for freedom of expression and the preservation of academic integrity in the face of ideological extremism.

Idabee Leete, daughter of the doctor who revived Julian, serves as his guide within the American Union, the organization who used the lessons of Martin Luther King Jr. and game theory to take control of Congress.

World Wall 3 by RoshGupta

In the near future, Mr. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America, and there have been some radical changes. Some for the better, and some for the worse. Some are just plain weird. Most notably, however, a giant wall exists at the border of Mexico and the U.S. to stop illegal immigration in Trump's ideology. That's all great, but when Ramon Juarez, a Mexican-American man who immigrated to America years before is caught in the middle of a family crisis that presents certain legal problems in this new, outlandish world, he'll have to break some laws and team up with a couple of dorks to save the day. Inspired by the Trump Craze of the recent months, this is a political comedy, intended to be as uncompromisingly funny as humanly possible. I'm in ninth grade and, at 33 pages long, this is my first story ever. I originally wrote it for the holidays late last year on Google Docs, but my family, friends, and peers loved it, so I figured I'd share it online. Enjoy! NOTICE: This story is labeled as not mature, but it does contain a few suggestive references and mild expletives, so make of it what you may.
