People are always going to be against you. You have to learn to see past that, and find what you want for yourself. Don't judge your self-worth based on what others want. It isn't worth it. There's so much more to life than that! You just have to look past the people trying to hold you back. Don't give her the satisfaction of knowing she broke you! Be strong!

Reading this poem i see who i was. fighting to be the perfect girl for my mom. struggling with anorexia because i thought i was fat and a depressed girl with scars on her arms. one day you will get to happiness hun because i made it and i was one the edge. so fight it hun because if you leave you will be missed. embrace who you are and dont try to reach ridiculous expectations because its not worth it. there are always people who are going to love you. right now someone loves you more than anyone has or ever will in your life. his name is Jesus and he loves you for who you are in him.

I just lost my father Nov. 10th and had to check my self in a hospital cause I could not deal with it so I thought. I have learned ways to cope with life in many ways, reading this makes me think how lucky I am to still be here. Very well said and written. No one knows till they go through it there selfs. I'm blessed today and hope you are as well!
