“You wouldn’t dare!” I screamed at my mother. She looked at me and said, “Try me,” and walked away. Hi my name is Brooklyn. My friends were always amazed at how I was able to take a plain cake and turn it into a work of art. However, while I enjoyed decorating the cakes, I totally detested making them. They were such a hassle and they never came out right. A few years ago I decided to use a regula...

My boyfriend James came out of the kitchen holding a hot steaming pie. “Here babe.” He said. “I made this especially for you!” I cringed inside. Not another pie to get through. You see, my boyfriend James had this weird obsession with making pies. And I had to pretend they were good when actually they tasted disgusting. “Oh great.” I said with faked enthusiasm. I bit into the pie, but this one tas...

I could hear the raised voices as I walked down my street, surely that couldn’t be coming from my house? My Mum and Dad never argued. But as I got closer I realised that it was my Mum and Dad. I wondered what could have happened to make them fight like that. I opened the front door and the shouting hit me like a tonne of bricks. “You betrayed me!” “No! It was you who betrayed me!” “I hate you! I n...

It wasn’t as if she even came up with good excuses, often she...

“Sophie, Sophie, come sit with us” “Sophie, come over here!” It was like this every time I walked into the school cafeteria. It wasn’t easy being so popular.

I remember my first tennis competition like it was yesterday, even though I was actually only 8 years old. That'...

My childhood was very unconventional, you see my Dad is an eccentric scientist, he is always coming home with new inventions. You know, he even invented a pill to take instead of eating a meal.

“You know I can introduce you if you want me to?” a familiar voice cut through my thoughts. “Huh?” I spun around to face the person who spoke.

Instead of you standing there looking at her as though she’s a slab of meat that you are ready to dev...

“Where am I?” I asked myself as I slowly opened my eyes. I rocked back and forth slightly in a small wooden boat. I felt a sick feeling in my stomach. I realized where I was. I was in the middle of the ocean. Hey, my name is Amber. The last thing that I heard before I blacked out again were the sounds of helicopter blades hovering right over me.

I used to think that I was the most unfortunate person ever because of the fact that I was not born with the features that society considered to be beautiful. According to them, I was ugly. I had an unusually large nose, it was huge and my jaw line was irregular, and let’s not even begin to talk about my skin. It was filled with acne scars. Because of that, I had been bullied my whole life from ju...
