Charming, funny and absolutely heartbreaking. 

I went home with a calm smile as I walked to the front door of our family house. As I opened the door, I saw both my parents see me, then they both have warm smiles. I smiled back with my normal smile. The smile I always smiled at them, and at my friends, or people who randomly would smile at me. I put my stuff where I normally put them, and then I headed to my room and closed the door. I sighed quietly as I laid on my bed.

A few quiet tears fell down my cheeks. I curled into a ball. I let myself cry. I felt the numbness take over, but I didn't care anymore. I let it take over me. The pain went away from the numbness.

I definitely didn't mind, because I wanted the pain to end. I felt so alone. I just wanted to die at the moment. Today was the worst day ever! I was getting bullied and I tried to defend myself, but no matter what happened I didn't win, my best friend abandoned me and didn't help me when I asked if she could me, my teacher got mad at me for being late, though it looked like I was punched and beaten up, then lots of people started laughing. Even my best friend started laughing which made me embarrassed, afterwards I just ran away.

Lastly, my boyfriend dumped me just because I looked ugly with my stupid bruises. I ran away from the school as far as I can and came back home when school was over. I hated life because nothing was ever going to be good. Never. I sighed and cried until I could cry, and couldn't feel anymore.

My name is Anita Stafford. I'm 17 years old and I have depression that has lead up to where I want to commit suicide. Why you might ask? I get bullied and treated like crap a lot. My parents don't know because I don't want them to worry at all. They have stress from things already, and I don't want to be more of a burden to them.
