Description I have nothing left. Now, I realize that you probably don't believe me because just about every girl my age thinks this way. Everyone hates me, you don't understand, and you've never loved me are probably thing people hear a lot from teenage girls, right? The only difference between me and them is the fact that in my case, it's actually true. What? You've heard that one too? Well then, how about you let me explain things, then maybe you'll understand.

I'm not that popular at school, as a matter of fact, most people downright hate me. Don't ask me why though, because I can't figure it out. I mean, I'm nice, polite, and I don't get perfect grades. Okay, I know that getting B's and C's in all of my classes isn't a good thing, but hey, at least they can't call me a nerd or a geek. What I'm trying to say is, no matter what I do, people just don't like me. Up until now, I've never really cared that I didn't have any friends at school.

Allow me to explain this to you. It just so happened that I didn't need friends because there was this wonderful girl named Kaley who was also my sister. Most people think you're supposed to fight with your siblings, but Kaley and I never did. I loved her, and I thought she loved me too. Sure we used to argue and disagree, but I still loved her, she was my sister.

Then one day, something absolutely horrible happened. We had a particularly bad argument, and I found out that Kaley was just like the kids at school. I found out that she had never loved me, never appreciated me, but had always hated everything about me. She told me that I had no life, even though I'd never known that I needed one. She called me emo even though she'd always told me that she didn't believe in labels. She said that I was boring, uncultured, and idiotic. In response I cussed her out.

Now do you understand?

Today's Valentine's Day and do you want to know what I got from her? A dead rose. I got her a huge thing of chocolate because I wanted to make up. I was sorry for the things I'd said but apparently she wasn't, because there was a note on the rose that said, "You deserve something worthless."

I'm used to being rejected and made fun of. Just not from Kaley; not from my only friend. So it looks like we're back to the beginning, I have nothing left. Are you still thinking that I'm being your average teenage drama-queen?

Oh this is so sad! If this is mostly true I'm broken by that thought. You are none of those things! You are smart, well educated, and so much more! You are a wonderful person and I'm so glad that we are on the same swim team!

Your writing is exceptional. The fact that it is (mostly) true is distressing. You tell Kaley (not her real name) that I've got a dead rose for her!!!!

Very interesting, kind of depressing, and saddening. Only qualm is that in the fourth paragraph is says "She told me that I had no live."
I think it would be "Life."

I'm actually kind of glad that you found it saddening because it was supposed to be.
Thanks for the advice. I'll fix that in a second.
