In life, there are moments when our words seem to escape us and we find it challenging to express ourselves. Let me tell you about a girl in 9th grade who went through a lot. She faced bullying for her appearance, her skin tone, and even struggled to speak up in English class. In those moments, she felt invisible, as if retreating into herself was the only way to shield against the world's cruelty.. It's tough for quiet people like her to keep their feelings inside when everyone expects them to be outgoing. Writing in a journal helps when life gets overwhelming, but it's also important to have honest talks with others. These talks help us deal with problems and accept who we are. Even when things seem tough, we need to stay strong and face challenges with courage. Finding peace in our own thoughts can help us stay hopeful and strong during hard times.
