Review from a bisexual youth

This piece was very strong. The way you set up the story was wonderful and the rain in the background helped the story move along and helped it stay connected. It was interesting that Charlotte wanted to be called a different name, a male's name at that. And that she showed more and more that she liked girls. It's very sad that she committed suicide. But in fact, bisexual, gay, and lesbian people have a higher suicide rate. I too, have been suicidal. I think part of it is because we go through our lives being told that our life style is "wrong" and that there is some flaw with us. But we are all human, we all love. Who we love (what gender we are attracted to) should not matter. I am very sorry about your friend. This piece is beautiful. Wonderful job.
