Review My Life Sucks

(Baton Rouge)

Hi there. I am a student. My parents expect me to get A's and B's. Which I don't. They always think im trying to look pretty for someone.

My sister acts like she has depression when I'm the one with severe depression. I think I'm fat. I really think I'm ugly and I cry mostly every single day.

I cry myself to sleep because there is nothing else to do. I cut myself but no one notices. I cry in my class, but no one notices.

I'm a ghost to the school now. I am never happy. I fake smile. I feel like I'm bullied mentally. I hurt myself both physically and mentally.

I like to draw but that wont help me anymore as my depression goes deeper through my cells. I would love to be dead.

No one makes me cry but my parents. I feel so weak, being pushed around. I'm currently crying while writing this at 3:01am. I can never sleep.

My friends lie. I hate my skin. I can't shave because my parents don't allow me to. I would look like a monkey. Now I look like a gorilla.

I wish I could get help. I always wanted to be an interior designer. The way I'm looking right now can't be helped. There is nothing in the whole world I want but straight A's because with that, maybe, my parents would be happy. Maybe they would cry. Maybe they would brag about me. Maybe I could feel loved and feel excepted in this world for once.
