Hey everyone! So, I've written a short story, Deadly Thoughts, that actually kind of hits close to home, and I'll tell you why. First, let me tell a bit about the story. It follows the life of a teenage girl. She's a freshmen in high school and depression is hitting her hard. She struggles daily and cuts for an escape. Now, I will tell you why it hits close to home. A dear friend of mine used to cut, luckily she's still her today. I've also recently been talking with my cousin who became depressed, her grades have been falling and then her boyfriend cheated on her. I've known some people who were depressed and I've seen that one friend they have that's always with them and it's nice to see that someone is with them.
