At age seven, all Lillian wanted was to play with her Barbie dolls and wear mismatched clothes. At age ten, she wanted to be popular and covered in make-up. At age thirteen, those dreams crushed her and she stopped eating and started cutting. At age sixteen, she was barely visible to the world. She was neglected, abused and raped everyday by her stepfather. With scars all around and no food in her stomach, she was ready to give up. Until, one boy changed her life completely. He showed her that life can be happy, even if you're not what most people want.

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". TW/CW: domestic violence, child abuse, sexual assault, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideationComplete
