alone

She screamed, knowing this time no one was coming to help. It was a scream of rage as she came to the conclusion that no one cared anymore. Everyone gave up so easily, and it only made sense. She knew she wasn't worth it anymore. She didn't blame them, she even hated herself.

It's easy to feel alone. It's only hard when you think someone cares.

She didn't always feel like this, but it wasn't recent when she felt alone either. Someone always said they understood, but they really didn't.

The complete madness of trying to fit in with modern society wasn't easy for her. Finally she gave in and became something fake, something that was far from what she really was. With this came rumors and humiliation.

She started from the very bottom and worked her way to the top, only to fall back to where she started, maybe even lower. 

Purposely hurting herself wasn't an option. She wasn't one to cause physical pain for herself or others. Plus she knew if she started, she wouldn't want to stop. It would ease pain quickly for her, but would also lead to others thoughts of how to ease pain.

I want to know what happened to this girl. How did it get so bad?

I empathize with this piece. There's a social politeness that people have, but when someone in need comes along - they can't be bothered to stop and help out.
