People Aren't Always What They Seem
May 4, 2015
You know that girl?
The one who seems to have it all together?
I promise you she feels like her world is falling apart.
You know that boy?
The one who's always smiling?
I promise you his life is a living hell.
You know that girl?
The one that never seems to be hurt by what you say?
I promise you she hates herself.
You know that boy?
The one that always knows the answer but never raises his hand?
I promise you he thinks he's stupid.
You know that girl?
The one that seems so innocent?
I promise you she's so very far from it.
You know that boy?
The one that died?
You never would have guessed what was going on in his mind.

I hope that every person who reads this begins to even comprehend how little they know about the people they are surrounded by. I hope that they will start to take into consideration everyone's thoughts and feelings, but most of all, I hope that every person is inspired to help. There are a lot of people out there right now who are contemplating/attempting suicide, and all of that could be changed with the help of just one person.
