You should be proud of yourself. :)

This story was really moving, as it nearly caused me to cry. Some tears actually came to my eyes.

I feel bad for Trina. She has talent somewhere in her. Martial Arts is her thing.

I'm not into Victorious but then I realised that there could be some good Trina-Centric fics and I found this. The topics it tackles are true to life and I'm glad you wrote about it So well. I love you! Gosh, that's sounds weird.

Voices are enough, and there are never as many enemies as there seem to be - just too many people staying silent (my prof called it the Bystander Effect). Wonderful and powerful story, and to add:

The lifetime also has an online chat for people who prefer it over the phone or get anxiety due to talking on the phone. There is also hopeline and crisischat. The Trevor Project also has a hotline and there is Transfaith. I like those to be added, because they are for specifically with LGBT youth, and I can't remember who, but I know someone mentioning a hotline/chat where they acted homophobic/transphobic to people reaching out.

I'm glad Cat made it there in time. With how scared Tori is, I don't think she'll be able to find it within her to remain silent anymore.

Thing with Andre reminded me of a comic I saw. It was basically saying those pictures of people posted on the internet people are making fun of are all real people. Hopefully they make it to San Francisco in time. I don't think the group will be the same at all after this, but that may be for the best.

Jade went to far about the 'night prowler' comment. I like that Cat stood up and went after her. Tori still seems scared, but it sounds like she might be working up to that breaking point. Holly and David are playing the blaming game, oblivious to just how much it hurts others. Trina for sure, and it sounds like they may be a big reason Tori is so afraid to start any form of conflict.

Hopefully Cat and Tori both learn to speak up. I've heard people say that when you're silent, it's a signal that you're in agreement with what's being said even if you're not.

I think my favorite part of this chapter is when Ruby said not to tell the people things like "But what about your loved ones? How would they feel?" While well-meaning, it oftentimes just makes things worse, and the person is then less likely to reach out. I think Cat is doing well, and hopefully she reaches Trina.

Wow. That was a long time coming. But anyway, Trina's doing better now, and that's the most important part.

Good to see Cat made it to Trina before it was too late. That was some valuable advice she gave her, and it seems like Tori finally appreciates her sister now.
Fanfic-Reader-88 chapter 4 . 10/21/2014
Now that Cat started putting everything together, somebody just had to go and do something stupid to drive Trina away. Hopefully now with how Cat reacted, this can give Tori a push to stand up to the group, and more importantly, talk to Trina if it's not already too late.

She should have pushed Jade in the pool before she left. But then, that probably would have gave the rest of the group (besides Cat) an excuse to lie and tell Tori whatever. And then who knows what they would have done had she actually did that.

They both wanted to play the blame game, but in reality, Mr. and Mrs. Vega are both at fault. And really, he should have thrown her out way before she could have done it to him. But that's just my thought.
Fanfic-Reader-88 chapter 2 . 10/21/2014
If she didn't do it before, Cat might have put it together about who she's been talking to. Now she just needs some more ways to help her, and to figure out how to tell the rest that they're being jackasses.
Romanticly tragic perfection chapter 6 . 10/20/2014
This was really good. A lot of people skirt around the issue but things like this are serious. I had a friend who was going through something at home and was also being bullied at school and I was too scared to speak up because i didn't know what to say and i was nervous about standing up to people (after some stuff that happened to me when i was younger) things got really bad and i knew she was depressed but i didn't know what to do. She didn't try to kill herself. She ran away and i don't know where she went or what happened to her. I know she's alive because she called me a few months ago on a payphone and let me know what a shitty friend i had been. I apologized and she forgave me but i still feel guilty and i have nightmares about her. I wish i had spoken up all those years ago when we were in school together. I'm glad you wrote this.
