A long time ago there was a girl named Lily who came to live in America from Dublin, Ireland. Before she came her dad had just passed away and they were barely making it and it caused her mom to want to move. Coming to America was hard for Anna because other girls and boy had made her feel like she didn't belong. Depression soon took over her and she felt so alone and couldn't see anything good in life to keep going on. Eventually she had started cutting herself and hid it from her two closest friends that she had made. For awhile she had been wanting to tell her mom about it, but she just couldn't because she didn't think that she would understand. Getting up on a Monday morning was the hardest thing for her to do, but she forced herself and got ready for school. Her friends were waiting for her at the front doors of the school building happy to see her. In class today there was a new student who had transferred from another school and as he walked by Lily had thought that he had the most beautiful green eyes and smile. Just as the bell had rang he got up and hurried to the door, but as he passed by Lily he gave her a smile and had winked at her. Kicking rocks on the way home Lily couldn't stop thinking of that new guy. Little did she know he was walking right behind her and caught up to her and told her hi. Michael was his name and he had asked her if she wanted to be his friend. Nervousness took over her so she said yes and told him that she had to hurry up and get home because she had to go somewhere after school. On the porch was her mom sitting there waiting for her with a smile. Patricia was her mom's name and she had found the blade that Lily had been using and had wanted to talk to her about it. "Quit cutting yourself, you're not solving anything by doing that and you just need to stop." Responding, Lily just burst out in tears crying. Suddenly at that moment Lily realized that she don't need to go back to her old habits and she promised her mother that she would stop. Then they went inside and she helped her mom make pizza for dinner and for once she actually enjoyed her afternoon and had talked so much with her mom than she had done in the past. Usually she couldn't wait to go to bed, but today she had found some confidence buried down under pain and she found it hard to go to sleep, but eventually she did. Vowing in the morning that she is going to live every day of her life to the fullest made her feel good. When she left for school that morning her mom saw her differently and happy and it also gave her a sense of hope.
