I was just sixteen when I brought home a girl who was already pregnant. Her name was Emily, she was seventeen, and everyone in my family instantly realized she wasn’t just a friend. The weeks that followed changed everything I thought I knew about love, responsibility, and family.
I am Emily Carter, and I have always felt like I was made of glass—easily shattered, overlooked, and misunderstood. My story begins on the first day at Lincoln High, where my fragility became both a shield and a burden, shaping every relationship and every hope I dared to have. Through family secrets, betrayal, and the struggle for self-acceptance, I learned just how strong a fragile heart can be.
I was always the girl who blended into the background, working hard but rarely noticed. After my dad left and money got tight, I found a mysterious note sewn into a thrift store prom dress that changed the course of my life. What happened next still feels like something out of a dream, and it made me question how small acts can ripple into something much bigger.
My name is Kaylee, and on what should have been the best night of my senior year, I was sent home from prom because of my floral dress. I was left sobbing in the school parking lot, questioning my worth and the fairness of the rules that governed my world. What happened next tested my friendships, my confidence, and my hope for a kinder future.
As children grow into teenagers, their actions and decisions often test the boundaries of respect and responsibility. In a high school in the USA, a group of students decided to target the school janitor, Adam, with a prank that involved leaving lipstick marks on the bathroom mirrors. Adam’s response to their actions was intended to teach them a valuable lesson, but not all stories end with the desired outcome.
