Um. Well. I've never tried doing this before, writing down my thoughts on paper, so I guess we'll have to see how this goes.
Uh, my name's Alec. I'm sixteen. I'd give you more of a description than that, but I already feel really awkward trying to write down this much, so I think I'll skip the rest of the introductions.
Really the only reason I'm doing this at all is because my therapist said I should. (I go to group therapy, so she's not really my therapist exactly, but it feels more awkward to say our therapist when you don't know who the other people are, in fact I don't even know who you are, and man, this just got even more awkward, because now I'm just rambling to nobody.)
Ignore my awkwardness, please. I promise I'm not this bad in real life, writing stuff down just stresses me out because...well...it scares me to say things about myself that I've only ever thought before.
For example, I almost killed myself last year. That's something hard to say out loud. Or to write down. I don't want it to be true, so I don't want to admit it to anyone.
I'm terrified about what the future holds. I don't know if I'll ever be able to succeed in life, and that scares me.
And then of course there's the most painful one of all: I'm in love with a girl who will never love me back.

Genç KurguThis is not a love story. Now, I know what you're thinking. The fact that I had to say that means that in some respects, it is, isn't it? Ha, you say, if there's any doubt at all, that must mean that this story is very much about love. Well, you go...
