    From the outside, you could never tell. She's beautiful, smart, popular. After she's assaulted by someone she once trusted, she begins to fall deeper into the depths of her depression. Her own friends are oblivious to her struggles, except one. If you could even call him a friend.'See Me’ is an emotional journey through the eyes of a girl who has forgotten how to live and instead barely survives in her numbness. Read as she stumbles and fails, learns to hope and fight in a society of injustice, pressure, and insincerity. A testament to the young girls and people trying to find themselves in a world trying to silence them… and the people that do everything they can to help them be seen and to see. Each paragraph holds a reality that you will either relate to on a personal level, or you will empathize with as you hold your breath—waiting for the moment she either chooses to fight or to succumb to the pressures of her unrelenting thoughts.
