secrets on a post cards and submit it to a website. Each year the comments, the feelings, the desires, and the darkness that each student expresses on their postcard is astonishing. Here are some examples:
" I am afraid that I will never find someone I love as much as I loved you"
" I shaved my head for cancer. It was for a good cause but I feel so ugly"
" I classify myself as a home-wrecker. I have broken up three relationships and counting"
" I am constantly trying to be someone else. I hope one day I will be ok with me"
" I once had homosexual relations with my cousin, it confuses me sexually everyday"
" I am 20 and have never had a boyfriend. I want people who don't want me. I feel so alone"
" A daughter's bruises never heal"
" I am pregnant. I never thought I would be THAT girl"
" Not everyone looks forward to what their future brings"
" All I wanted was for someone to ask if I was going to be alright.. you never asked"
" I wished you would die so I could have a normal life. Then you did. Right in front of me"
" I slept with my roommates crush twice to prove that I am better looking"
" I'm afraid my parents will hug me when I tell them I was sexually assaulted.."
" I wonder if when people pass me in the halls they can see the sorrow in my eyes"
" The only reason I haven't killed my self is because I couldn't do that to my mom"
" I finance and support my boyfriend's drug problem"
" I don't want to die, but I feel as though I would be happier not living"
" I can't afford a hair dryer, so I use the school hand dryers"
We tend to feel like we are all alone in this world when we go through both positive and negative experiences but, by reading these secrets, we are not. The world would be a whole lot simpler if people could say what they feel easily and openly, without judgement. Unfortunately, this may never happen. Everyone has a secret, what's yours?
