No, No, No. It’s all I hear. 17. I’m just a kid, they tell me. Act more mature, they say. Stuck in a tug of war. No, No, No. She’s only 17. All the things I can’t do....

&quot;What, do you really think I was<br /> strong enough to handle it?<br /> If you did, then sweetie, you<br /> don&#039;t know me at all.<br /> These &quot;smiles&quot; are fake.<br /> Just another lie people bought.<br /> You will never know the disaster<br /> that&#039;s behind them.&quot; -Anonymous
