Hanging out with different people from all around the world taught me to embrace other cultures and appreciate my own heritage

I was not sure if I could find friends after moving countries. Joining interest groups outside of school helped me break out of my shell.

Negative thoughts became self harming. I made a mistake by not telling anyone cause that made it worse. Finding ways to cope with the feelings helped.

My brother is very annoying he made me so angry. Learning to love him and not be angry all the time helped. And learning to love my new baby sister too!

I looked at myself in the mirror, my weight, my hair. I wanted to be perfect. I learnt that nobody's perfect and learnt to like the way I look regardless.

A girl was nasty to me, endlessly teased me, it got worse by email and texts. I talked to my parents and moved schools which helped.

I am bisexual. People said I was gay but 'in denial about it'. Now I know to accept my feelings. I cannot help what I feel. Ignore the haters.

My life ins't perfect but it's way better than it was! My parents were never there for me. When my past comes up my BF and partner helps me work through it.

My family fought a lot, my dad tried to kill himself, I self harmed. Gaining independence from my family helped. And meeting someone who was good to me. 

I was a high-achiever at school but was unhappy at home. I got help to see things from a different prespective and not blame myself for my family's problems.
