People will try to tell you who you are or who you should be your whole life. But the truth is, only YOU know who you are. There have been many occasions during my high school years where I felt that I was never good enough or that because no one seemed to care about me I wasn't worth anyone's time or consideration. However, I was lucky enough to have a family that always stood behind me and would listen to me. Unfortunately, not everyone is as lucky. To those who feel alone and victimized hear me when I say you are not alone! Whether it is a family member or an outside advocate someone does care. Never let anyone tell you who they think you should be, and do not ever be afraid to tell an authority figure who can stand behind you the truth. I have personally been cut, threatened, verbally and physically abused and people have even attempted to push me down flights of stairs. Luckily all of that is in my past and I am a strong and driven woman because of the hardships that others put me through. Do not ever give up hope of a magnificent future because it can be achieved! With your perseverance and courage to end this epidemic you will help so many others become who they are meant to be and let them know that they have a place in this universe other than someone else's scapegoat. Use your voice and we can help anyone who cannot find theirs! Peace, love and happiness to all!
