I'm Sabrina, I am 15 my father is very rough with me, he treats me like shit, always wants me to tie my hair, he refuses that I make up, he wants that I wear large clothes , and never let me express myself, the people in my school always make fun of me, call me ugly, it really hit me, listen lady gaga helps me escape from all this, to dream of being myself one day, especially the song hair, that makes me cry every time I listen.

I want to thank you all for helping to give me the courage to take a stand with my partner and fight for equality for gays and change in our suburb of Sydney. I know my teenage self would not have been brave enough to publicly demand answers as to why my partner and I were treated in such a way by the authorities when we went to them for help almost a year ago. The following links are to the publications here in Sydney that are shedding light on our story: 1. gaynewsnetwork.com.au/... 2. starobserver.com.au/... 3. smh.com.au/... 4. smh.com.au/... It has not been easy to take our story to the public, but I know in my heart that it is the right thing to do. I look to Lady GaGa, with an unspoken understanding that we must keep fighting for the truth and only then will this unrest be given peace. GaGa is an inspiration and the best f'ing artist to emerge in a loooong time! The community she has helped to create here is an inspiration. All the love, John

Ever since a very young age, I've had very low self-esteem; I lack confidence. I don't think there has been one time in my life where I've thought highly of myself, and it is so evident for the people around me, they've all brought it up. Like my teacher wrote it in the comments slot of my report card once. I find that with each day, I get a bigger feeling of inferiority, like I'll just never be good enough in terms of everything. I feel like there's nothing really special or wonderful about me. It comes to a point where I dont really enjoy being me anymore. But everyday I wake up and I think about the messages that Gaga is trying to convey to the world, and her message is what truly inspires me. I always listen to Gaga talking on the MonsterBall Hbo DVD and on talk shows and even, and it makes me feel a little more comforted because she really shows how much she loves her Little Monsters and how much she believes in them, so it gives me the feeling that there is someone out there who actually cares, and who believes in me, someone who actually has a lot of trouble believing in themselves. I do try

I was born with a birth defect and I'm in a wheelchair. I'm only 18 and have had 29 surgeries thus far, including a spinal fusion for life-threatening scoliosis, four hip surgeries, three intestinal surgeries when I was born, a baclofen pump installation and removal when I was eight because I OD'd off it and almost died... the list is endless. I'll probably be having procedures for the rest of my life including a hip replacement in the near future. I vividly remember, ever since about first grade, hating my body. I didn't realize it then, but I still have memories of begging my mom to let me stay home from school because I was too embarrassed to let kids see me with casts on my legs. It's slowly snowballed into depression. I have major body image and self esteem issues that not many people know about because I feel like I'm supposed to put on this brave face for everyone, always. I've been getting better, but there's still times where I cry myself to sleep at night. I'm so ashamed of myself sometimes. Born This Way is kind of like my personal anthem. I would love to meet her and thank her one day.

I will be reading all of these, but for those I did read - Many kudos to all of you for sharing such heartfelt stories and words. I have no doubt that these words of wisdom and hope will reach others and help those who're having a down day. You're heroes and leaders, bringing this world to a new stage of thinking. Always remember, overcoming obstacles and bumps only makes you stronger, as you learn from them and turn them into success and achievements. Much love and Paws Up!

3 years ago, I was in a school where he had a girl named Debbie, and we met and became friends. She loved rock, I liked everything she liked, but had one exception: Lady Gaga. I do not know any of her music, she showed me. From that moment I just enjoyed her songs. But back to the subject, I wanted to be more than just a friend of hers, I loved her, but I should leave in secret, afraid of ruining our friendship. Now, I still talk to her, but I'll take courage and I will declare to her. If you think this story pointless, because I do not know what I have to write.
Thank you. Follow me.

I haven't overcome this Little Monsters but this all happened yesterday and today. My bisexual little monster friend, Dahvie James Manson, killed himself yesterday, because of bullying and homophobia. That's not the worst. I assumed me and my partner had been together for half a year...we never were and I found out today. He has had partners this whole time I didn't know about. He is a little monster. I will have to agree though because we were long distance, that we never really took off. However, he did lead me on saying he was my husband and that we had a spiritual connection. His friends called me repeatedly. I told them "Leave me Alone!" they thought I said "fuck off" so they all told me "YOU GODDAMN OBSESSIVE FUCKING SON OF A STRESSFUL BITCH PIECE OF SHIT CUNT LICKER" and more insults. I feel so disconnected, who are my real friends? I've had my account here a while, but now that the drama has killed one of my friends, I hope I somehow will put my paws up and not cry anymore. Move on like my partner and his friends blatantly told me. I don't know what to do monsters....I swear I don't want to see cruel society eat me up and digest me. Little Monsters I doubt you are even reading this. Plz pray for my friend Dahvie and also forgive my partner and his friends, and me for being so obsessed with finding a true love.

These stories are just heartwrenching.Someone ought to compile these and get them sent to Gaga somehow. I don't know if she knows how important she really is.

If you ever read this, it will make my life.
When I was born, I was diagnosed with autism, a communication and mood problem. I suffer depression, I hear voices in my head, I also bob my head back and forth. All those problems kick. What I hear is "Oh there is Aldo, Lets go get him!" and much more. I get made fun of bobbing my head back and forth everyday at school, and everybody things I am trying to do a "swag" walk. School is the main reason I have depression. Mostly everybody that is "cool" hates me because I am bisexual, and they keep calling me a faggot at school. People talk crap about me at school, I don't even know who my true friend are... I have lost my best friend that I "knew" he was my best friend 5 years ago, until he passed away. He had major depression, and then he shot himself in the head because his girlfriend was telling lies about him when they broke up. To be honest, I really hate that girl now, because she is the reason I cant trust myself. Because of her, she made my life a living hell.
In 4th Grade AND 5th grade, I started cutting myself. I did it when my parents were not at home, and I cut very deep, because of how much stuff was going on. After cutting, my parents saw it, and I said "I DON'T WANT TO LIVE IN THIS ANYMORE, AND I AM KILLING MYSELF" After I said that, I had to go to a mental hospital for...

Hello Mo†her! How are you? I’m always praying for you to be fine! I don't know were to start the things that I want to say to you... :b I just say THANK YOU for everything you have done for me, since the happiness that you gave me 'till the person you made me be become 'till today, it's all due to you my QUEEN! You thought me that I must fight for our dreams and golds and never give up or doud of ourselves in any moment, because sometimes I never fought for my happiness but for the others happiness, but now I have changed, you opened my eyes Gaga! One day a girl said to me: Oh, you’re never going to meet Gaga… I felt defeated and hurt, I just wanted to answer her like this: So well f*ck you! One day you’ll see me with Gaga, and never tell me that again, ‘cause if I believe I can make it! I’M GONNA MAKE IT! I will only R.I.P.in the day that I’ll be near you, so ‘till there I will never shut up You have given me the happiest moments of my life and I want to thank you for everything! You make find my identity ‘cause the other artists didn’t belong to my ‘’likes’’ and I didn’t figure out what I really loved, and you made me ‘’fall in love’’ for you and for your music. You make me happy everyday, and when I am sad I think about your beautiful smile and about you! You made me brave and you thought me that we are not different, or ugly or we don’t belong ‘cause we are all the same!...

my story...every year since the sixth grade a close family member has died in the month of december. in 6th grade my grandpa, 7th grade my uncle, 8th grade my aunt, 9th grade my gram (which was the worst), and 10th grade my other grandma. the death of my gram was the hardest on me and i still cannot cope with it. anyways, i soon became depressed. i still cry myself to sleep every night and miss her everyday but im better, but for a while i wasnt. i lost 3 best friends that year, and i found myself with no one to turn to. my parents did not care or even pay attention. my parents are horrible. my dad hasnt told me he loves me in 3 years, and my mom just doesnt care. in my deepest and darkest times i had major suicidal thoughts. everyday i would think of it, at a time i almost did do it but something told me not to. then, for some reason, i started listening to gaga. that woman is my savior beyond anything anyone could imagine. she took me away from suicidal thoughts. she helped me get through things that no one else could. i consider her my mother because she is better than my real one. just last week i attended a suicide awareness walk and we raised almost $5000 for suicide awareness and for the families that had lost loved ones. i mean i still miss my gram, too much, but gaga helps me cope with it. she lets me know that everyone is like me, we are all the same, we are all...

Well, little monsters. since I was born already go through many problems :/ When my mother told my father I was pregnant he abandoned us and said he didn't want to know how I would be born, beautiful or ugly, fat or thin, with a problem or not. I was born premature, seven months, during birth my mother had five detachment of the placenta that cause lack of oxygen to the baby that lead to brain problems and as soon as my mother gave me birth, she in a coma for a week,I almost took my mom the death. So I was born I was diagnosed with leukemia, and also with congenital cataracts, doctors had to choose between treating a cancer or my vision problem, of course they chose to treat cancer. In addition to the abandonment of my father, my family abandoned my mom too. during my treatment, nobody's helped my mom, only God and thanks to Him that my cancer was cured and my mother returned from a coma, I thank Him until today and I thank you for all the days of my life! But I still had my vision problem, my mother took me to a doctor and he said there was no way to do a surgery to remove cataracts so I had to live with it. All my years of school boys laughed at me because of that, one thousand invented nicknames for me and the junction of all these nicknames over the years resulted in a girl with no self-esteem, no self-love and thinks that all are better than it. Any mistake is enough for...

Bom, little monsters. desde que eu nasci já passo por muitos problemas :/ Quando minha mãe disse ao meu pai que estava grávida ele nos abandonou e disse que não queria saber como eu iria nascer, bonita, feia, gorda, magra, com problema ou não. Eu nasci prematura, 7 meses, durante o parto minha mãe teve 5 descolamentos de placenta que causam falta de oxigênio ao bebê que levam a problemas cerebrais e logo que minha mãe me deu à luz ela entrou em coma por uma semana, por pouco o meu nascimento não levou- a à morte. Assim que nasci fui diagnosticada com leucemia, e além disso com catarata congênita, os médicos tiveram que escolher entre tratar um câncer ou o meu problema de visão, claro que eles escolheram tratar o câncer. Além do abandono do meu pai teve também o abandono de toda a minha família, durante o meu tratamento ninguém ajudou a minha mãe, apenas Deus e é graças à Ele que o meu câncer foi curado a minha mãe voltou do coma, agradeço à Ele até hoje e vou agradecer por todos os dias da minha vida! Mas ainda tinha o meu problema de visão, minha mãe me levou à um médico e ele disse que não havia como fazer uma cirurgia para retirada da catarata então eu tinha que conviver com isso. Todos os meus anos de escola os meninos riam de mim por causa disso, inventavam mil apelidos para mim e a junção de todos esses apelidos durante todos esses anos resultou em uma menina sem...

When I was on 7th grade (now I'm on 10th grade) I was bullied just because I was a friend of someone. A guy got jealous of me because I was just a friend of his girlfriend. He was always sending me text messages and calling me and he would even come near to my house. One day, in school, he brought up like 10 guys to scare me. I got really scared because they we're bullies. But well, I didn't do a thing and didn't did he. And suddenly all was ok. Back to 9th grade, I got threatened again by my bestfriend's boyfriend. He threatened me all year. With text messages and private calls all over the day. There was days that I wanted to kill myself. I was sick of that situation. I has sick of him. I was sick to be threatened just because he was a selfish bastard! He would even threaten me by "While you're coming home, I'll cut your fucking neck". That day I got really scared. Despite this happening, nothing happened to me actually. But those actions changed me. They made me being scared by anything. I can't stand up in front of a guy. I can't do nothing. When I thing about these things, everything is remembered and my heart stars beating really fast and I get really scared. I can't look back to those days and I can't do friends now because I'm scared that someone will threat me. I hope I can overcome this, but it will be hard :x
