There is someone in my life that is definitely going through a hard time and I can eventually see her life turning out for the better. She's 17 right now and doesn't live at her own home. Her mother is gone and has disowned her. Her father chose his new wife over his own flesh and blood. She doesn't take medication for her bi-polar disorder and she's been close to killing herself so many times, it's scary. I'm not sure if she'll be able to graduate on time but I doubt it. She definitely is the party type and she cares mainly for her boyfriend and friends right now. She really has no one to fall on other than her grandmother and even her grandma needs a break from it all because her husband just recently died, my friend's grandpa. She's been talking about going to a community college to get into a better college and I have faith in her but she needs to talk to someone before she can really get anything together.
Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl named, (insert name here), who lived with her wicked stepmother and evil stepsister. Day in and day out she had to do work for them, getting nothing out of it. Always having to stay home while they went out. Well, one day she couldn't take it any longer and she ran away. She eventually moved in with her angel she called her grandmother. As time went by, her grandmother needed time alone to be able to cope with the fact that her loving husband was gone, so (insert name here) went to live with her wicked stepmother again. It got so bad at the house that she eventually got kicked out and moved in with her friend. As more time went by she started to become sad, missing her dad, so she numbed all of her feelings with alcohol, weed, and burning herself. She knew that she needed to get better and it was only a matter of time. She began to do better in school and is currently trying her hardest to succeed in her life. She knows that the only way you get through things is by trying, not just sitting there and hoping something good will happen.

I love that you wrote this in both a realist and creative method. Your innovation to tell the tale as a "fairy" tale was really inspired and beautiful. Thoughtful.
