00:00Hey, I'm Emma. Please like and subscribe. I was born to Indian parents in New Jersey,
00:05but we moved to New York when I was a kid. I wouldn't say my family was rich,
00:09but we did get by without trouble. My dad was an accountant, and my mom was a makeup artist.
00:14I loved watching mom put on makeup, but I never understood why people wanted to put makeup on
00:19themselves. Mom, why do you put makeup on people? Because they want to look pretty, honey. Pretty?
00:24I thought it was all like face painting to be a clown. Like, why would having your cheeks and
00:30nose so red make someone look pretty? When you grow up and try it on, you're gonna love it.
00:37My life seemed perfect. I got good grades, had tons of friends at school, and was loved by teachers.
00:43But when I turned 14, everything turned upside down. I had just returned from India after spending an
00:50amazing summer vacation with grandma, and it was time for me to start high school.
00:54I was pretty excited for it, but this excitement didn't last long because
00:58high school wasn't exactly like I'd imagined. I thought I would be fine as long as I didn't make
01:03eye contact, but things didn't go my way. In the first week of school, I was fixing my favorite
01:09lucky bracelet on my wrist when I walked into someone's back and heard a scream right after.
01:14Oh no. It was Becca, our school's self-proclaimed queen bee. She was one of those,
01:20I hate drama, but I start drama kind of people.
01:24Ugh! My phone!
01:26Look what you did, you freak! I am so sorry. I didn't see you!
01:30Oh, save it! You didn't see me? Are you blind? That was a brand new iPhone!
01:36Now you'll get me a new one. Got it?
01:38But why would I? Last time I checked, phones weren't allowed inside school.
01:43So I guess it's your fault you brought it in the first place.
01:46But hey, we can both go talk to the principal if you want to. I can explain how I bumped into you,
01:52and you can explain why you have a phone. So what's it gonna be?
01:56Rebecca, don't you dare act smart with me. You messed with the wrong girl.
02:01Heard that one before. Bye-bye!
02:03Just as I walked away, Becca pushed me. I wasn't gonna let the witch get away with it,
02:08so I turned and slapped Becca straight across the face. The next thing I knew, we got into a nasty fight,
02:14and in the process, Becca broke my bracelet. It was at that moment that I felt my heart stop like
02:20I swallowed a frog. I wanted to scream, cry, and throw up at the same time. I fell to the ground
02:26and started pulling my hair. No, no, no. This can't be happening. This is my favorite bracelet.
02:32Grandma made it for me. This is the last gift she gave me.
02:36Really? I did you a favor. Ugh, it was so ugly. I could feel everyone's eyes glued to me,
02:43but I couldn't care less or stop. Then suddenly, everything went black.
02:48I had woken up in the nurse's room and found out that I had a panic attack.
02:52My parents were informed about what happened, and they were so worried about me.
02:55I took a week off, and I heard that Becca was suspended for a week for starting the fight.
02:59During this time, I felt so anxious, but one day when I saw mom working, I noticed that the
03:05step-by-step process of applying makeup looked soothing. I observed mom, and then I started
03:11applying minimal makeup whenever I was anxious. I just felt the whole process helped my mind to
03:16slow down and focus on something. I told you you would love putting on makeup. You look wonderful.
03:23Who knew you were this talented? Learned from the best. A few days later, Becca and I walked into
03:29school on the same day. She was out for revenge for her suspension. She filled my locker with
03:35wigs and whatnot. I didn't want to react because I knew that would start a fight. I just wanted to
03:40get away from all of this, so I told my parents how I needed to change schools, but they couldn't
03:45because of some financial issues. So the only solution I could think of for my problem was to
03:50get suspended. My first attempt to get suspended was during class. I had put a fart cushion under the
03:55teacher's chair so that every time he sat down, it would sound like he farted. But some guy took
04:01the credit for it to look cool for pulling off a prank like that. He was suspended instead. Bummer!
04:07I had even played loud metal music through the intercom during class and made sure I got caught,
04:12but it didn't work. All I got was detention. I wasn't even suspended. As if my prayers had been
04:18answered, during summer vacation, I got the best news ever. We were moving back to New Jersey.
04:24Dad had gotten an amazing job that paid well. Talk about great timing! Mom and Dad had also told me
04:30that they already enrolled me at the new school. Since I didn't have any friends in the new city,
04:35I usually stayed home and made Insta videos of my makeup. Soon, I gained tons of followers and
04:40people loved the looks I created. One evening, Mom made me go out because I was in my room all the
04:46time. I decided to go for a movie by myself, but as I entered the cinema hall, I saw the one person
04:52I didn't want to cross paths with. Becca! Just as the lights were dimming, I noticed her and her
04:57friend sitting three rows behind me. I immediately crouched down and crawled to my seat, and in doing
05:03so, I dropped the entire bucket of popcorn on someone. A boy! Oh, I'm so sorry! Hey, are you
05:11alright? Is something wrong? Someone bothering you? Sort of. Oh, okay. I got you. Don't worry.
05:18Then I felt him put his cap on my head. I watched the movie peacefully thanks to the stranger who
05:23introduced himself as Damien. We exchanged numbers, and I found out that we go to the same school.
05:29He told me he would wait for me at the school gates on the first day, and I agreed. We were
05:33the last ones to leave the cinema hall. I had to be sure Becca was gone. A couple of days later,
05:39I started school, and at the gate, I saw Damien waiting for me. He showed me around the school,
05:43and as we walked through the halls, I felt all eyes on me, and it made me feel very conscious.
05:49Remember, Emma, keep your head down and stay out of trouble. You know, someone was assigned to show
05:54you around the school, actually. My friend Natalie. But I'm so glad she got caught up with some other
06:00work and asked me to help her out. Well, it was nice to have Damien show me around,
06:05because the guy sure was handsome. Just as we reached our class, a girl entered and looked so excited.
06:11Guys, I have amazing news. Wait for it. The principal has agreed to let students write and direct
06:17play all by themselves. Yay! Oh, who do we have here? Wait, you must be Emma. Sorry I didn't meet
06:25you earlier. That's fine. So, drama club? Sounds cool. Yeah, thanks to me. If it were for this nerd,
06:33we would have nothing except for the math club. Oh my god, Natalie. You're the greatest, aren't you?
06:38Drama clubs. Well, they are boring. Oh no, they're not. Even though they seemed like rivals,
06:45it turned out that they were buddies. In fact, they had known each other since they were babies
06:50because of their families. Natalie and I started becoming good friends. We would talk about
06:55everything under the sun, and one day I noticed that she kept scratching her palms,
07:00and the skin was peeling off. So I immediately took her hand and applied my hand cream on her palms.
07:05And then, I went on a rant about how she should take care of herself or it would start to hurt.
07:10One afternoon when I went to the cafeteria, I saw her looking at my Instagram page.
07:15You're extremely talented, you know. Can you? All of a sudden I looked up and saw Natalie's face
07:21going pale. Natalie, are you okay? She just pointed at her throat and I figured she was choking.
07:27I ran to her side and helped her immediately. Emma, oh my god, you saved my life. Thank you so much.
07:35Oh no, I did what I had to. Are you feeling better? Mm-hmm. I owe you one. My lifesaver.
07:41When Damien returned from his cousin's place a week later, he was pretty surprised to hear about
07:46the choking incident. Wow, protecting my friend when I'm not around? Thanks a lot, Emma.
07:51She's my friend too, now. Gotta go. I have to go to this comic book store, Nook, and then home.
07:57No way. You go to Nook? We love that place. No, we adore that place, don't we, Natalie?
08:03It's just fine, Damien. Damien and I continued to visit Nook every day after school. Natalie would
08:09join us sometimes. It was fun. One evening, when it was just Damien and I, I could feel him looking at
08:15me. Is your comic book that boring that you're looking everywhere but the book? No, it's just,
08:20I wanted to tell you something. Tell me what? I like you, Emma. What? I like like you. Actually,
08:28I kind of liked you that time when you were hiding next to me at the movies. It was the first for me.
08:34Really? You know what? I think I have liked you too, since that day. He smiled wide and pulled me
08:41in for a kiss. The next day, I told Natalie everything and she was so happy for me. That evening,
08:47while we were hanging out at Nook, Natalie announced she was selected to write and direct
08:52the play at school and that it was about something that meant a lot to her. OMG, I am so happy for you,
08:58Nat. I'm excited too, but also a little nervous. You'll promise to be there, right? Of course.
09:05We wouldn't miss it for the world. I was pretty excited for the play and I even post about it on
09:10my Insta to get as many people to show up for her directorial debut. On the day of the play,
09:15the school auditorium was packed. Natalie came on stage and thanked everyone for showing up
09:21and said that the play was based on true events and means a lot to her. The play showed the main
09:26character getting amazing grades, but it wasn't enough for her parents. The stress she went through
09:32and how that caused her to have a problem where she scratched her palms to the point it would hurt her.
09:37As the play continued, I saw a scene all too familiar. The main character snaps one day and
09:43starts screaming and pulling on her hair in a fit of rage. As she cries, I froze and felt goosebumps
09:50all over my body. That was me, the fight with Becca. I started shaking like a leaf in my seat
09:57and felt my cheeks get wet. Great. I was crying too. I tried to calm my nerves, but nothing was helping.
10:04Emma, Emma, are you alright? I couldn't talk. I just shook out of fear. I was having a full-blown
10:12panic attack. I stood up abruptly and all of a sudden everything went into slow motion as I tripped
10:18and fell while trying to get out of the hall. I felt so embarrassed and knew everyone was looking
10:23at me. I couldn't help it and ended up vomiting. OMG, what is happening? I needed to get away from the
10:31place and ran out of the auditorium while Damien followed. He made sure I reached home safely and
10:36then kept visiting me every day since I just couldn't show the world my face after that auditorium
10:41incident. But Damien kept insisting I go to school again. Damien, it's easier said than done. You have
10:48no idea what happened to me at my previous school. Then tell me. I want to know what's bothering you.
10:54And I did. I poured my heart to Damien as he hugged me and told me that everything was going to be
10:59alright. Still, I had just one question on my mind. What if Natalie knew about that incident?
11:07She couldn't. Could she? So I gathered all my courage and went to school. I needed to know who
11:12the play was about. But just as Natalie saw me, she came running to me and hugged me. I am so sorry.
11:18I didn't know you had anxiety. How are you feeling now? I think I should be the one apologizing. I
11:24ruined your play. I myself didn't think what happened in the play would trigger my anxiety.
11:30Why didn't you tell me about it sooner? I was... I was embarrassed about it. It makes me look weak
11:36and I don't want to be seen that way. Do you know that the play was actually about me and my life?
11:41What? Yeah. And you want to know how it ends? It ends with me getting better and finally stopping
11:47the violent scratching on my arms. And you know how that was possible? Because of you.
11:53What do you mean because of me? You remember when you applied the hand cream and took care of my
11:57bruised palm? From that day on, I noticed how being around you and Damien helped me out so much.
12:04You always encouraged everything I did and were rays of sunshine. Literally. You have no idea how much
12:10your kindness and care towards me helped me and I will always be grateful to you for it.
12:15I was shocked and had tears in my eyes. That night, I played Natalie's words on loop in my head
12:21and I knew what I had to do. I sat down and started a live video on Instagram.
12:26Hi everyone, how are you doing? This video is gonna be a little different. This time,
12:31I will be removing my makeup instead of putting it on and I'm doing this to thank someone who hurt me.
12:37Not physically though, but in doing so, you made me all the more stronger. I talked about my
12:43insecurities and my panic attacks. I told the world how I was not embarrassed about it and how
12:48I wanted to learn to better myself. In the end, I just want to say, remember, you are amazing no
12:54matter what. Bye. Little did I know that my video would go viral. People began sharing their stories
13:01as well and tagged me in their videos. I was proud of myself that I didn't let my weakness convince me
13:07that I didn't have strength. I walked into school the next day, hand in hand with Damien and Natalie
13:12next to me, with my head held high. I hadn't realized it until then that I had amazing friends
13:19and parents and I didn't need to be embarrassed about my attacks or anxiety. They were parts of me
13:24and I am who I am because of them.
