Trigger warning!
Clichés, depression, suicide attempt, self-harm, violence, bullying, abuse!


What if a suicide attempt goes all wrong?

That's what happens to Rose Jasmine Harper, an abused and bullied 18 years old high school senior, who finally gives up on life. Adding to her parents' abuse are the constant beatings at school. At 220 lbs she's just a nice target for almost everyone.

So she gives up.

But what when just as she wants to jump, she suddenly has a gun pointed at her forehead? Getting rescued by the police, she's now a key witness in one of the country's biggest lawsuits. Before she can even think about saying no, she's suddenly pushed into the care of a man not much older than herself, now acting as her bodyguard.

What will happen when he slowly finds out about every dark little aspect of her life?

Why We Laugh (#Wattys2018) by CarpeDiemWrite
40 parts Complete Mature
"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.

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.

Her best friend Bethany Peters watches her and stands by her through her tough times until Amy's dream boy, Brandon Walters, comes in and causes conflict to her mental illness. Brandon and Beth struggle to watch her attempt suicide, feel broken and begin to start rumors about each other causing to mess with Amy's mind. Will Amy and Beth continue on with their friendship? Will Brandon and Amy officially come out from hiding their relationship? Will Amber continue her rumors and start more drama to break Brandon, Beth and Amy apart? --- My name is Ariel Baes. I'm 18 years old with a passion for writing. Parts of this story are personal and related to my personal life, but in Amy's point of view, and more violent and serious. I myself struggle with mental illness, suicide tendencies, and struggled with self harm. I am proud of this writing I have been working on and am proud to share it. It may not be the best story ever written, spelling errors may be an issue. But this story tells a lot. And I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.
