I think about my choice. Either outcome is bleak. If I stay and live through high school, go to college, get a job, what will ever change? This blackness inside will never go away. I don't make friends; I'll always be alone. If I go, at least there's hope of peace. Chance of a new and better life on the other side.

You're a normal person and a beautiful person and you should be proud of who you are. You deserve to live and live with dignity and show people your pride.
