[SPONSORED BY TELUS]

Eva Shaw's junior year falls apart when she sees a website dedicated to making fun of Cathy, a reclusive student, and does nothing about it. Eva watches the posts pop up every night and doesn't speak a word.
  
  But when she accidentally gets closer to Cathy, it slowly gets tougher to keep quiet about the bullying she witnesses each day. Cathy seems to be pulling further away from everyone and has no desire to bring a teacher into her mess and make things complicated. But Eva is finding it harder to keep quiet with all the guilt building up around her and when she finds out the creator of the website is much closer to her than she thought, doing the right thing seems almost impossible. 
  
  With her 'friends' telling her to keep quiet, Cathy falling away and her own guilt pulling at her, Eva has to decide if speaking out is really worth it or if she should just listen to everyone and stay a simple bystander.All Rights Reserved

Unchain Me by caity007

'I had guilt that ate me out from the inside and made me want to throw up. Guilt that started as a young child and continued to fester until I was doomed to break. I knew that one day I would shatter like glass. I just wasn't sure if anyone would be able to put the pieces of me back together.' ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley Summers is the Bloomingfield Highs resident goodgirl/nerd, complete with absolutely no friends and a book for company. However guys could be throwing themselves at her because she is really one of the hottest girls at school, but her bookish tendencies and social low keep them away. And the fact that every guy who talks to her gets ignored. What she doesn't expect from the new year was the bad boy, Adrian Forsyth, persistently taking her attention away from her introverted life. Wait, she does know why. It was that stupid Chemistry class. She feels her carefully constructed life start to break as Adrian digs around her past, intent on finding out exactly what made her shut off from the world and herself for all of those years. Ashley has some deep secrets that she wants to stay hidden but piece by piece they make their way to the light. The question is what will happen when they all become revealed? It seems that while Adrian is searching for answers to the puzzle that is Ashley Summers he finds more than just her secrets. He could also find the key to her heart, a place where no person has truly seen before. Which is to say that Ashley Summers is in for some interesting events before the year is over. ---------------------------------------------------

Finding True North by InsaneUniverse

Ethan Parker is just starting his senior year of high school, a time that's supposed to be filled with excitement, anticipation, and a little bit of chaos. But for Ethan, this year is different-it's a year of self-discovery and hidden struggles. Growing up in a small, close-knit town where everyone knows each other, Ethan has always felt the pressure to conform and meet everyone's expectations. But deep down, he's grappling with a secret he's not ready to share with the world: his confusion about his sexual identity. As rumors about Ethan and his new friend, Chris, begin to swirl around school, Ethan's world quickly turns upside down. Caught between the harsh judgments of his peers and his own internal battles, Ethan finds himself questioning who he is and where he fits in. His close-knit group of friends-Jenna Thompson, Liam Carter, Aiden Murphy, and Sophie Patel-stand by his side, offering unwavering support and encouragement. However, even their loyalty can't shield him from the pain of navigating high school while wrestling with his true self. Amid the taunts and gossip, Ethan must confront his feelings and decide whether to reveal his truth or keep hiding behind a mask of uncertainty. As the days turn into weeks and weeks into months, Ethan's journey becomes one of resilience, self-acceptance, and the struggle to embrace his identity in a world that doesn't always understand. Beneath the Surface is a poignant story about the fear of being different, the courage it takes to be yourself, and the power of friendship to help you find your way. In his final year of high school, Ethan must decide whether to let the waves of rumor and doubt pull him under or to rise above and be true to who he really is.

His Sweet Lies by moonprince87

Her brows furrowed. "You look like you have something specific you wanna ask me." The tips of Liam's ears turned red at Emma's very accurate observation. "I, uh... I usually just bullshit my way through projects, so I have no idea what the hell I'm doing." The corners of Emma's lips formed a small smile. Liam arched his brow. "What are you smiling at?" Her smile widened. "Nothing." Ever since Emma started going to Silver Creek High, she's been bullied over her discolored eyes. It all started when a boy brought attention to her in biology class one day, laughing at her and calling her a "freak" while the rest of the class laughed along with him. She never looked at him or saw his face; she just ran out of the room crying. She was now an outcast labeled as a freak and she wanted nothing more than to just disappear. She felt she had no purpose in life. Until her sophomore year when she fell in love with Liam, the guy every girl wanted; the guy every dude wanted to be. He had stolen her heart and she now wanted nothing more than to be with him. Unfortunately, Liam seemed to want nothing to do with Emma. He seemed to be straight up avoiding her. They never interacted for 3 whole years. That is, until now in their senior year, when they get paired up for a school project. The two must put their differences aside and try to work as a team. But as they spend more time together, feelings grow deeper, and secrets start to rise to the surface.

They Say Opposites Attract by Akari_Cyro

"They say opposites attract," but this is ridiculous! Sumiko Areko is a girl with a past. And not just any past. After having transferred to every school in the city at least once, she arrives at the school without a voice. And not in the way most people would think. In Sumiko's case, she has no voice. This was due to a surgical removing of her vocal cords after they were almost fatally damaged. After being bullied constantly for being mute, she meets some people. People who change the course of her life. For better. Or worse. (TW: Some topics mentioned in this story involve things that include, but are not limited to, suicide, self-harm, bullying, and other painful subjects.

Watching Wren by unfriended

Someone has been watching Wren for weeks. She can’t see them, but she can feel them. Can feel their eyes on her as she leaves her dorm, as she walks down the street with her friends. This fact becomes startlingly clear when someone poses as her boyfriend on the chatting app, ChatMe, and sends her a link—a link that, once Wren clicks on, won’t be able to exit. Not without repercussions, anyway. Wren learns this lesson the hard way. She soon learns that her stalker is none other than Vee Carper, a girl Wren made the mistake of cyberbullying during their senior year of high school. According to Vee, Wren ruined her life when she made those hurtful posts, and now she has to pay the price. Trapped online with Vee, Wren is forced to do things in order to amuse the girl who has ultimately taken her hostage. If she doesn’t, she will be punished. If she logs off, someone she loves will die.
