I (13M) need to get this off my chest. I never feel good enough, no matter what I will never be good enough for anyone. I am not athletic, I can’t play instruments, I can’t explain anything, I can’t focus, I can’t get out of bed. I’m dying to scream for help, but all that comes out is just a whisper. It feels like I’m drowning, deeper…and deeper.. and d e e p e r until nobody can hear me scream anymore. In gym, everybody talks about how bad I am, I try to ignore it, but it gets to me.  There are SEVERAL rumors about me in school. Things like, I’m a furry, I’m dating so-and-so, or I sit in urinals and pee (I’m a trans boy.) ITS SO ANNOYING AND HURTFUL. I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE, I’M ALEADY ON MEDICATION. I HAVE ANXIETY FROM THE MOMENT I WAKE UP TO THE MOMENT I GET OUT OF SCHOOL. Life is hell, and I would rather stay at home and do nothing all day. I’m about to cry typing this. I can’t do anything else about it. Then, people would call me “crybaby” and “tattletale.” One lie they tell you is “it gets better..” NO, it doesn’t. I’m tired of hearing that.
