Everyone thinks I'm an ugly freak. They call me names and sometimes physically do things to me. Such as throwing stuff at me sometimes pushing or tripping me. I think they think I'm a freak due to my mother killing herself. They think I'm ugly because I'm ugly. There's nothing that happened to make me ugly.
I splashed my face with cold water and stared at my taunting reflection in the mirror. I looked like a complete mess as my reflection stared back at me. I had to look away. I hate that I am so ugly. I hate that I'm shamefully hiding away from society in the girls' bathroom at school.

I'm driving down a street that has trees surrounding both sides. My truck starts to slow down so I pull over to the side. It cuts off. I try to turn the key and it won't start back up. "Just great" I mutter to myself. I search for my phone and I couldn't find it. "What am I going to do," I cried out. "Why does everything bad happen to me." I continue.

Oh goody now he's here. "Why were you walking out in the dark?" he barked out. I look at him. He's just angry he had to leave work. "My trunk broke down." I replied. His face crinkles up. "I've told you multiple times to buy a new one." he says. He could've kept that to himself. He knows I hate wasting money. His face softens as he continues to look at me. "I'm just glad you're okay," he breathes out. "The doctor said your arm cast should be off in two weeks," he says. "That's the same time you'll be back in school," he continues. "For your leg cast that doesn't come off until 2 months from now." he

Or, we all know the satirical cartoons that pop up on our Instagram feeds depicting how great we look in the mirror but, when photos are taken moments later, we look almost unrecognizable. But don’t worry, it’s not your fault. Blame the most complex organ in your body, the brain. Our perception of ourselves changes based on what we observe in the mirror, how we interpret our attractiveness and the angle of the camera.…

Stories about how hard high school were numerous and often regaled on the crowded bus ride home by high schoolers who seemed to have the knowledge of every wise teacher in history combined. which that scared me to death; I had always held my position as a good student who followed the rules of my middle school.…

I’m not saying that his death didn’t have a negative effect on me, but it had more of a positive effect on me than anything. His death made me an introvert, think for myself, and see things differently.…
