The Weeks After

- Parts 1
This book is a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest coming-of-age story that draws heavily from my own experiences at the age of 14. The novel vividly recounts the bullying, pressure of academic and family, and the dark thoughts myself went through at this age.
The protagonist, a thinly veiled reflection of myself, grapples with the weight of academic and family pressure, the cruelty of bullying, the disgusting and horrible thoughts I had, and some relationship problems, portraying the isolation, anxiety, fear, and insanity that consumed me during this dark period.
This novel doesn't shy away from the raw, painful details of the characters attempt, the physical and emotional trauma that followed, and the strained relationships within his family. It offers an unflinching look at the challenges of navigating the aftermath of a suicide attempt, including the stigma, the fear, and the long, arduous journey towards healing and self-acceptance.

Suicidal
This is the story of an abused teenage girl, Maddie. Her need to die has become overwhelming and she is trying to find a way to help herself before she does something she may regret. The story is told from her point of view as she recalls all that has happened to her. Maybe telling her story will help her, maybe not. This isn't just any other sob story. This is more realistic. You may even find yourself comparing your life to Maddie's while reading this story. Disclosure: I wrote this as a 13-year-old and the writing is definitely not up to my current standards, but I feel as though changing what I have already written would take away from the emotion I put into this story at 13 years old. If you'd like an updated and more well-written version, please read my other story entitled "Remembering".
