Im an 18 year old girl and ive had eczema my whole life..i hate it!! its bad enough that it has to leave scars all over my body, but when it comes back it comes with vengeance! I can spend hours going from girl to girl’s facebook looking at their pictures in complete jealousy. Since its summer everyone feels the need to put up bikini pictures of themselves..Myself being a person that has never put on a real bathing suit.

Right now the eczema came back on my face, my hands and all over my legs! I have to wear long pants IN THE SUMMER…AT HOME! i dont go out much b/c i just hate getting dressed based on how ugly my skin is. To top it off i have a million diff problems, like a nasty scar on my arm, uncalled for discharge, and some acne…plus much more!

I hate my skin soo soo much..i have never worn short sleeves or shorts..and everytime i go outside all the girls are wearing short shorts and skimpy tank tops..they prob feel so comfortable in the weather while im about to die of a heat stroke in full jeans and 3/4 sleeves. I hate it so much…Im always so jealous..like why would God give those skanks on facebook perfect skin when all they do with it is go out to clubs wearing barely anything and looking like cheap prostitutes. Why cant i have perfect skinnnnnnnnnn!!!!! between my eczema and the scar on my arm i am covered up even in my sleep just in case someone walks into the room while im sleeping..i hate it..

How can i stop being jealous…my jealousy completely dehabilitates me and all i can do is sit there and think "look at her with her perfect skin..she can wear that outfit..she can do this..she can do that..she can be confident." etc etc.

Get ready for this…all the way down to my butt cheeks i have severe darkening from steroidal creams from when i was younger and had eczema there so i know even when im older i wont be able to ever wear a normal bathing suit -_-

on top of that im hairy and i just hate my skin/health..what do i do?!?!? can anyone relate?? am i overreacting? ughhh

ALSO, i hate how ppl take advantage of perfect skin…like they are so lucky to be able to wake up and have the only thing intervening with what they are going to wear that day be the weather and what their taste is…They just have a perfect body that they can drape whatever clothing on..meanwhile i have to sit there and craft an outfit to cover every scar..i hate this!

My 3 month old kitten is destroying ( actually destroyed one this morning and I had to throw it away) horizontal blinds . I have to cover the windows because my bed is right by the window and you can see in the apartment from the street ( 1st floor) was thinking of room darkening drapes. that way he can still get on the window seel. Any ideas?

This is just the beginning portion. Thank you for taking the time to read this, it means a lot to me.
I walked slowly towards the Study Hall classroom, my backpack weighing down the one shoulder it was hastily draped over. The sky was slate gray and thunder snarled in the distance as the sky cascaded droplets that converged into muddy pools in the hallways. The darkened clouds reflected my restless mood and I shifted my backpack a little higher before continuing to my next period. The smell of rain left me as I entered the stuffy room decorated randomly with posters and pictures. I made my way to my desk and slid into my seat just as the bell rang. Mr. Vaughn stood up to take roll, his belly spilling over the edge of his belt as he marked off the absent students before asking for people who had special permission to go to the library. The sound of backpacks shifting as students extracted their schoolwork reminded me I had my I-pod, Odie, in stuffed in the front net of my green Northface. After a moment of groping blindly, I unravelled Odie’s headphones and hit play. I tried to immerse myself with the music, ignoring the nagging feeling that I should be doing something productive with my time. More backpacks shifted and I sighed before putting my head down on my desk, covering it up with my crossed arms.
(italicized) Bury it. Bury it. (italicized) I thought.
My heart clenched.
(italicized) Don’t do this to yourself. Don’t think about it. (italicized)
But the small ache in my heart had already widened and it was just enough for me to remain calm as painful memories seared me with unspoken thoughts.
I wondered if anyone around me felt this type of pain. It was as if a claw had shredded my heart and with each shallow breath I took, the pain seeped through the bruised flesh only to bury itself deeper into my mind; it would not let go.
The agony confined me. It made me unpredictable. Some days I could barely rise out of the gloomy haze that surrounded me to reach out to the people I cared for. Other days, I was able to shield myself and act like nothing was wrong. When I didn’t have the courage to break with the torment I was causing to myself, I considered suicide.
Looking around, I acknowledged the variety of people who face their individual problems. Just like me, they had their worries and challenges that only they could overcome. While some confided in others, I kept my real problems secret and conversed only with myself; I became lost in the folks who would not let their guard down to anyone in fear of admitting they needed help.
I was not always like that, though. The value of experience held me in its firm grip and shook me till I felt coerced into locking each and every door that let in the draft of misunderstanding. Back when I was cautious and willing to request advice when I needed it, I recognized a repeated method of thinking that disgusted me: Ignoring and lessening the satanic truth that danced with you by buffeting it with scorn and excuses would ease you out of an uncomfortable situation without needing to confront the speaker’s problem directly.
Many people fear anomalies and become shifty and sometimes unreliable around
those who change the status quo. I bowed my heads before those who criticized me because I felt like if I was faced with the same person seeking the same support, I would disregard my empathy in order to forget my past shared emotions with the troubled. In doing so, I gave up on myself. In doing so, I let people down.
The origin of my pain cannot be directly traced. Was it from the moment I obtained the ability to retain my memories and discern between light and dark, luscious flavors and acrid tastes, smothering warmth and fierce cold? Or maybe when I first felt the heat of embarrassment and anger ooze down my back when my older sister, Yuan, decided it was her right to explain to the Berkeley Day Camp class during their discussion of what was unacceptable, rude behavior that I picked my nose and ate the boogers? How about the first time I recall feeling a stab of hurt in third grade while on the field with my friends who were mean to me; my recollection was of me pelting away fro
Regardless of my first memories, I can be sure of when my attitude towards school turned from eagerness to reluctance as the process of destroying my confidence engulfed me. Entering Stanley Middle School upon graduation from the familiar faces of Happy Valley Elementary was like a taste of the side dishes accompanying the mundane rice I had as the foundation of my diet, brought up by my Chinese hertiage, from ever since I could remember. New peers were fascinating to meet and I became content with my daily schedule of seven classes along with my friends and one faithful crush I had in my seventh period P.E. class.

This is only the beginning so it probably doesn’t make much sense, but bear with me and thank you for the criticism
*sorry this got cut off and made the story abruptly confusing:
How about the first time I recall feeling a stab of hurt in third grade while on the field with my friends who were mean to me; my recollection was of me pelting away from the group that excluded me and gasping for air when I stopped while biting my lip to keep the tears from overspilling, curiously thinking “so this is the pain the main character sometimes experience in stories I’ve read”?
Where are the "The"s in the first section?
And I’m not trying to make it interesting, I’m just trying to express myself and get a point across through description. No action/dialogue intended that is. But thank you anyway.

the man obviously was a big proponent of the 2nd Amendment,
he was behind on his child support payments,
he blamed everyone but himself for his problems,
he hated women,
he was paranoid,
was known for having an explosive temper,
generally mean spirited and in the end only wanted destruction of innocent people and himself.

So did you honestly have any doubt about his political affiliations? I can see him now, cleaning his shotgun in a room darkened by a single American flag draped over the trailer window, humming the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

i practice my write every day plz tell me:

"Baby, ain’t no time like the…" a voice but echoed from the room but now covered in filth. A man but draped in stench of fish and thong of woman emerged from the darkened shadows, shoving fish into his mouth with one hand and dragging thong upwards with another. It was quite the site – each step but thud each thud but roar and shake of earth. The beast walked forward ever slowly but surely as Ebichu stepped back as far as he could. Stopped by the vacant wall, Ebichu crawled to his knees in fear and watched the Duo wiped fish grease from his vile mouth, now ready to dirty it with Ebichu’s venom seed.

Duo…", Ebichu began, his words but muddled by his own incoherent fear. "I said… I said…" he continued, still spinning thoughts in his head. "I… I… it was a…"

is it understandable? at all? i was supposed to write in the form of hemingway

Its scent came before its descent. The sky had darkened to an angry bruise.

She was still sleeping, by the sound of it. He loved her near-mechanical purr, although her sheet-draped shape in the gray light –all arcs and bends– remained anything but machine.

He stared at the clothes draped across the nightstand, covering the book. It had been five euros, near the side street where they had pushed together, where flame had flared in each breath. She had smelled of honey, and his fingers tangled in her hair, sticky silk. His finger ran down the shadowed bumps, hints of spine against skin; she shivered. He should. He had to.

“It’s here.”
She breathed awake, and there was no question in her eyes.

She was skipping–tripping— down the sidewalk, bumping twice into other people, once into him. Into him. Into. Him. Honey tinged with surprise.

It had always been this way, it would always be. He could feel it enveloping the corners, the extra set of dishes, the other pair of boots by the door. It was swallowing them up, leaving him as he had always been.

His mother had told the story, feet up on the cushion, her heels smooth as worry stones. He wished he could will them away, but the words burned in his throat and he knew.

“There had once been three of them, but the number soon lessened and the pebble found himself alone again…”

He felt electric, a current pulsing out the door.

She watched him as he rose,
“Be just a moment.”

‘You are no coward’; there was the mirror and it lied to him, and this is what he needed. Was it perverse? Was the falsehood of a reflection more criminal than that of a spoken word?

The stairs flowed downward, he fought against the current. Up to the room.

The sky had lightened some.

The world had slowed to fragments. And he could feel the string slipping— no, dissolving. For if it was just slipping, the solution would be to simply hold it tighter.

But, in this case, the tighter held, the sooner it would be gone.

She laughed, the sunlight capturing her smile and wrapping it in warmth. The waves were tinged with orange. Sea salt and honey.

“Can you hear it, John?”
“I can.” he said.

There was no more, and he held her alabaster head, her smooth head, and it fit perfectly in his hands.

But she felt it sooner than he knew, and she drifted above him already, before he had touched every eyelash and heard her purr fade out, rising–falling–nothing—

There were the sound of the raindrops, and there was no more.

A cold breeze lifted the curtains, flowing inside the room. The French windows stood shyly against the light pink colored walls, and the French doors to the balcony were shut tightly. The darkening sky made predicting the future plans of the weather.
Magi held the ceramic cup in between pale hands which slightly shook. She stared into the crackling flames of the fireplace, a blanket draped over her legs. Taking a sip of the steaming drink she turned to her left, towards the maid.
“Yes, Princess Magi?” She questioned, looking at the girl with a smile on her face.
“When does father come home from hunting?” Magi asked, taking another sip from the cup. She licked her lips in delight before looking outside of one of the open windows, taking in the view. She frowned, listening to the quiet rumble that erupted from the clouds.
“He said he would be home by sundown, but by the way the clouds look, I would guess another hour or so.”
Magi nodded, uttering the simple word, “Good.” She watched the windows for a few moments, drinking the tea happily, the herbal taste fulfilling every need to eat. “Could you shut the windows? It looks as if it is going to rain.” The maid nodded, closing the windows and making sure they were locked. Magi nodded when she stopped and looked at her, so she walked out the door, shutting it behind herself.
Magi sighed, looking out the window. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, like she did every time something was going to happen. However, as far as she knew nothing terrible happened all afternoon, but her father did not return from the hunt.
At night she settled into bed uncomfortably. That night, like the clouds had predicted, it rained. It rained long and hard in the small Kingdom of Azul.

Any grammar errors that need fixing? Spelling? Rewording? Does the description drag out to much, or should I add more? Overall, based on just thing, what kind of story does it sounds like it would be?

Oh, and for fun, would you read a book where a minor plot happens to be about a few adults trying to set up two teenagers, but the teenagers hate each other and nearly kill each other. They don’t get together at all romantically, and still hate each other at the end of the story.
