Tiffany - Posted on May 16, 2012One day all of a sudden one day I woke up to my Mom crying and my Dad not knowing what happened. I automatically thought it was my grandma but it was my Uncle Bill; he had hung himself because he thought there was no other way. I miss him dearly and I wish I would have been able to tell him I love him one last time and I wish he was still here because my Mom has not been the same since. I wish I could have been able to do something and if I had known, I maybe could have helped. But all he had to do was stand up. Why didn't he?

Alli - Posted on May 16, 2012Right now i know how all you guys feel. I'm being bullied around my house for nothing; I didn't even do anything wrong. It's so crazy how mean people can be. I can't even walk out of my own home without thinking if these girls are going to try and jump me. They are all sisters. I mean it would be fine if it was just one person but it's like seven girls. They call me a whore, and say I'm too scared to do anything about it. But what can I do? It's just me against all of them. Everyone thinks it's so funny when you're getting messed with but it's not; it hurts and then you really do feel alone because there is no one there.

Brittany - Posted on May 15, 2012I was constantly bullied in school to where I thought I was worth nothing. Then I was getting bullied at home by my step-father about being too fat. Tha'ts when I started to cut and I also developed an eating disorder(bulimia). I was also trying to od on pills; my life seemed so pointless and worthles. I still have low body image, so what I'm really trying to say is that no one is ever gonna be perfect, just accept everyone for who they are.

Alexandra - Posted on May 15, 2012You guys can't be afraid of showing THE REAL YOU. I was afraid that people at school weren't going to accept me, but I took the risk of showing them who I really am and I found really nice people with problems just like me. BE YOU. Don't act like someone you're not; don't let people you love leave you or commit suicide. Stay with them no matter what, and if they really love you too, THEY ARE GOING TO STAY WITH YOU FOR EVER!!

Kristine - Posted on May 15, 2012About two years ago, 13, my depression got deeper and darker then ever, and I didn't know why. I felt like my life was worthless, like I was worthless. I felt ugly, fat and alone. I soon started cutting myself alone on my bathroom floor. I always had suicidal thoughts ALL the time. And in the midst of all this, I thought I was serving God. I was raised in a Christan home all my life with good influences around me. But it was about last year that God swept me off my feet for life! In October I got baptized and my love for God grows more and more each day, even during the tough moments in life! God is always with you, he never leaves you! Even if it may seem like it at the moment, He cares about you! He loves you so much that He's jealous for you! God saved my life. He can't wait for you to let Him save yours <3

Shakyra - Posted on May 14, 2012Have you ever been told you're going to Hell for being LGBT? Have you ever been bullied for being yourself? Do you feel unimportant? All of those aren't true!! I was a cutter, I was bullied, I'm bisexual, and I was an atheist. God loves you no matter what your sexuality and He has a design made just for you. I just had a friend kill himself and this is everything I wanted to tell him. It does GET BETTER!

Matthew - Posted on May 14, 2012I was bullied from the moment I started 5th grade to the moment I graduated eighth grade. I was the one kid that sat by himself that no one would be caught dead talking to. I was never accepted by anyone. I was all on my own, not one friend to talk to. When the same people that picked on me picked on a mentally handicapped kid, I would get into fist fights for a kid I barely knew. I am in high school now and I have everything I missed out on. I am no longer a "loser." I see people who are avoided and I make friends with them. I refuse to sit back and watch others go through what I went through.

Hol - Posted on May 14, 2012Mia, you're not alone and life gets better I promise! My parents are divorced too and things will look up even though they don't seem they will. Your friend's death is tragic and no person should ever have to feel that way. I know you feel lost, but you are not alone. I know you don't know me but I'm here to listen.<br />

Ariana - Posted on May 13, 2012I've been trough things that no other teen should have to go through. I thought life was going to be easy. When the "test" came it was the scariest thing that had ever happened to me. My mind was racing and was lost until I saw the movie "To Save A Life." I couldn't watch it enough! Because of that movie I am more aware, and I am positive that the choices that I made during these hard time were the right ones. I have saved a life, and this movie helped me do it.

Erin - Posted on May 13, 2012It's been four years since I was a victim of bullying. It didn't seem that God was there. I questioned as to why I was worth it. My parents found I wasn't happy about ten years ago when I would come home crying from school. I even got in trouble with the law. They immediately gave me the chance to get help. Because of the people that helped me through, I'm here today. It wasn't easy, but I understood that it'd get better. God gave me hope. After those horrific years of being abused, I'm now a mentor to others who are bullied or those who are finding it hard to live. Because of my past, I have saved many lives and many more to come. Living that tough life was the best thing that ever happened to me even though at that time it was the worst. I'm strong and you can be too.

Makayla - Posted on May 13, 2012YOU'RE NOT ABANDONED... YOU'RE NOT ALONE!! I have felt the pain that most of you are feeling. I promise it gets better. I can't exactly tell you why things happen to us. All I can do is give you advice. FOLLOW CHRIST. When you feel like you need love that little hole in your heart is aching? Jesus was meant to fill that hole..everything else will fall into place once he is where he was meant to see. The crucifixion was meant for us to see how much God loved us...the Bible is a love letter.
