**** those people who said it only gets better. They lied to us. They lied to you and me and all the other kids with tear soaked cheeks and problems with substances/self harm/depression. It gets better but its got to get bad first. It took me years of tears to realize that things will get better. They will. They may get worse first, they may stay the same for a while, they may get better and return ten times worse but they will get better. They have to.
