Sophie's* Story

Your support could help save Sophie's* life.

A few months ago, just after I turned 14, everything changed. The people I thought were my friends started calling me names, whispering about me behind my back.  

I have no idea why it changed so suddenly. But it did. I thought the bullying would stop. It didn’t. Instead, it got worse.   

Now, even when I’m home, the messages keep coming. Every time my phone buzzes, my heart races because I know it’s another message—another insult, another threat. I feel trapped.  

I’m too scared to tell my parents. I don’t want them to worry or think I’ve done something wrong. So, I keep everything inside, pretending everything’s fine. But it’s not.   

At school, I sit alone, and at home, I hide in my room with my dog, Maggie. She’s my only friend now. When I hug her, I feel like she’s the only one who understands how lonely I feel.  

Everyone knows each other where I’m from, and it feels like there’s no way out. Every day, I’m afraid to go to school, and even when I’m home, I’m not safe. I feel like everyone hates me. It’s like I’m invisible, but at the same time, I can’t escape.   

I don’t know how to make it stop. I just want to feel okay again. I need help, but I don’t know where to turn.  

I feel like Dolly’s Dream is my only hope. A place I can trust. I don’t want to feel alone anymore. I just want this all to end.
