They want us to be quiet.

They want us to be silent.

The want us to be ghosts.

But there are others just like us. With depression, anorexia, bulimia, cuts, scars and scrapes, with schizophrenia, anxiety and way too much more.

Some people don't understand that if we don't talk about it, IT WON'T GET BETTER.

Keeping quiet about getting abused does nothing. It makes you feel even more hopeless and helpless. We need to talk.

Keeping quiet about getting raped does nothing. It makes you feel even more vulnerable and victimised. We need to talk.

Keeping quiet about severe anxiety does nothing. It makes you feel even more anxious and nervous. We need to talk.

Keeping quiet about being depressed does nothing. It makes us feel even more sad and afraid. We need to talk.

Keeping quiet does nothing. Period. We are humans. We need to talk about how we feel. It's nature.

Wattpad is trying to silence us. We are telling our stories. They're going against their own rules. This is not OK. We're obeying the rules, but they aren't.

We're sharing our stories, and we will continue to.
