Finding Peace

They say that eating disorders are easy, simple. People- girls- don’t eat because they want to be prettier and thinner. They crave those double zeroes. They eat celery because apparently those expend more calories to digest than the amount of calories that they have in them....

Clara is a senior in high school deep in the throes of depression and an eating disorder. She has excluded herself from her friends and has started succumbing to her mind after an incredibly trying summer.

Derek is the picture-perfect high school player boy. He appears to have it all; girls, sports, academics. But will his past allow him to keep up his facade of perfection?

...And that is why it is so fatal. Because people don’t understand. They never will, unless they have experienced it themselves. Only people with like minds are able to see, and even then, they know that nothing they say will help at all.
