I Am Seeking Help To Achieve My Dream!
I am a 16 year old entrepeneur who's dream is to one day run a successful unisex clothing label that will allow me to financially support myself.
I have been battling depression for quite a few years now. My therapist actually suggested I create something and put my time and effort into that, so I could feel successful and accomplished for once. A lot of my depression stemmed from not feeling comfortable being who I am and how I would get bullied for wearing 'boys' clothes.
So I came up with the idea of creating a clothing label. I've always hated how there weren't many unisex brands out there and that women/girls didn't have the same variety as men/boys. As a child I found it hard to buy clothes as I wasn't the 'typical girl'. I didn't feel comfortable wearing the 'tight, pink and overall very girly' clothes. I was drawn to the boys clothing section because I felt they were cool and had alot more variety.
Society is too judgemental so I was unable to wear what I wanted for the majority of the time. I don't want other children to have to go through this, so I decided to try and make a change and bring out a unisex clothing line.
So for once in my life, instead of saying "I wanna do this or do that", I actually went out there, used my initiative, researched everything myself, and actually did it. I started my own clothing label. It took alot of time, patience, money (donated by my parents) and alot of DIY tutorials. But here I am.
To continue pursuing this dream, I need some kind of financial support. They say the first year of starting a business is the worst. As everything is done out of pocket. Basically you don't start making a profit until the second year. Being a teenager, this is hard to do.
So here I am, asking for your support. Even $1 will be massively appreciated as it will help me get one step closer to being able to continue achieving my dream. This money will help me buy more stock (so I can make more clothes), get better advertising and help me pay my parents back.
Thank you for giving me a chance at success :)
