A Handful of Happiness

14-year-old Claire Thompson is a Freshman in High School. Sounds pretty simple, right? Well, add some bullying from the school's most popular group of girls and their leader, Leanne Baker. Okay, it's getting worse, but how much worse could it REALLY be?

Every day is a constant battle for Claire. Trying to lose weight (that she doesn't even have), cutting herself because of the constant bullying at school, and struggling to find a purpose in life. Will she be able to stay strong long enough, or will the pressure break her completely?

This story is a symbol for numerous girls in this world, suffering from eating disorders, self harm, and abusive families. Feeling ugly, fat, stupid, and worthless... Something too many girls in this world are familiar with.
