Hello my name is Isabella and I am a junior in high school. I am reaching out to you to tell you my story. When I was just 6 months old my mom walked out on me and my dad and left us with nothing. He was working 2 jobs just to make sure that I had what I needed. When I was 3, my mom started seeing me again, but she was in a very abusive relationship. One day, he took me into my room and molested me. I was only three. She had all her rights taken away, and she is not allowed to see me. It's been 13 years and I still haven't seen her. I was diagnosed with extreme anxiety when I was only 6 years old. I was bullied all through elementary school. In middle school, 6th grade, I found out I'm bisexual. I got made fun of for that. I had my first suicide attempt then. In 8th grade, I started cutting. I was 6 months clean until my freshman year when I was raped and then I started again. Two weeks went by and I tried to overdose. There are times where I still cut. I have had many relationships throughout high school, but most of them were boys because at first I felt weird dating girls. After a while I didn't care anymore. I came out to my parents as bisexual for the first time my freshman year. To be honest, I don't know anymore what I want. I like boys and I have had relationships with them. However, I feel like I like girls more because I am more comfortable around them, there is less pressure and I can be myself around them. Girls are more understanding about certain things. For most of my life I have hated who I am, and I still kinda do. Not many people know that because I hide how i'm feeling by faking a smile. If I don't smile, then I hurt the people around me and then I feel worse. I really wish that I did not feel this way. You would think that I would be used to it by now because I have had it for so long. However,I have started to realize that this is me. This is who I am.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
