While I’m Still Here

Posted on May 31, 2017Jun 20, 2017 by Germ Magazine guest author

In 2007, when I was 16, I was in the midst of some really bad bullying at school. I had a lot of things going on in my personal life as well as my home life, and I was struggling with my own mental health and my own well-being. That was all until one afternoon […]

If I Could Tell Her So by Lynn Vande Stouwe

Posted on Dec 15, 2016Jan 10, 2017 by Germ Magazine guest author

I come back from Econometrics and find Maddie swaying from a hot pink rope in our living room. It is not real. It cannot be real. She is a mannequin from a Visual Arts major’s sad diorama. Then I see her bare toes twisting above a flipped over desk chair: gnarly and bruised like always […]

The Naked Truth About Suicide

Posted on Dec 10, 2016Jan 24, 2017 by Hannah Green

Last night she nearly let go. She wondered what left her holding on. If she left, the lights would still glisten. If she left, the stars would still shine. If she left, the moon would still empower. If she left, the sun would still shower possibility. If she left, the world would go on. If […]

Review: Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher

Posted on Aug 24, 2016Sep 19, 2016 by Hafsa Usmani

Thirteen Reasons Why is Jay Asher’s debut novel for teenagers, and it’s a very beautiful addition to the psychological Young Adult books which convey a very difficult and strong message. This book is difficult to read — and that is not criticism but a compliment — because Thirteen Reasons Why deals with peer pressure, adolescent angst, drugs, and […]

So many young people are taking their own lives before their life even truly begins. Why is that? Maybe it’s a home situation, maybe it’s a result of being bullied, or maybe it’s just a side effect of a chemical flaw. Whatever the cause is, the end result is still the same. We are facing […]

Street Lamps by Rachael Costello

Posted on Apr 28, 2016Feb 27, 2019 by Rachael Costello

Her nails were white, her clothing black. Her heart resembled much of the both of them. Void of life and full with hatred. “I hate it,” she said. “I hate everything.” “You don’t hate everything,” I told her. “You hate things right now.” “When does right now turn into forever, though?” “It doesn’t,” I smiled.

Posted on Apr 8, 2016Apr 25, 2016 by Germ Magazine guest author

if you draw butterflies on your wrists, they’ll come alive while you sleep and fly away into the night and flutter like sprites. they will murmur to god, she needs you now, and they will come back and sit patiently, still as stone. they will kiss your wounds with their wings and wait for your […]

Cloisters by Harnidh Kaur

Posted on Apr 1, 2016Feb 13, 2019 by Harnidh Kaur

The day after I died, I woke up with a knot in my throat, a rising crescendo of goodbyes that reminded me of the last day of school, bubbling up and simmering down, ‘summer will be over soon,’ but this one would not, and I realised that when I sat next to my sister, watching […]
