A Victim's Tale

"Freak." "Loser." "Wannabe." "Worthless." "Your own father didn't love you enough to stay, why would anyone else?" "Fat." "Ugly." "Talentless." "Why are you trying, when you'll never fit in?" These are some of the things I hear every day. My name is Katarina Rose, I am a beloved daughter of God and little sister of Jesus Christ, and I struggle with cutting, depression, and being a victim of bullying. This is my story.

Edited version of testimony given during my support group.
