A CHOICE

by Misty
(Philippines)

I discovered I have bad breath when I was only 13. Since then, it has ruined my life. It’s like I never had a normal life. It’s prevented me from doing what I want to do.

Worst of all, bad breath has kept me from reaching for my dreams. I’ve done everything I could to get rid of this but to no avail. I’ve always worried about tomorrow. It was so bad at one point that I wanted to end my life, but I was afraid to do it. So I just made a choice to live life.

I can't do anything about this. I can't do anything against the people who hurt me and ridicule me, so I just have to move on and thank God I still have good friends and family who love me.

I hope to communicate with other people who have the same condition and let's help each other. I hope somebody can help me get through this.
