Marie was a star pupil. She was smart, and heavily involved in school. By all accounts she was a well balanced girl who did everything right........until she didnt. When Dorothy was home sick she was told to click her heels three times and say there's no place like home but she must not have wanted it as bad as Marie.

Anna Mae was a kind hearted person who believed in helping others. One day the helping hand she was trying to extend leads to her being attacked. It would be over 20 years before what really happened that day comes to light.

TRIGGER WARNING: We all have our thing or things that we will NOT tolerate. Michelle Blair had hers. She made no exceptions. She suffered herself and decided that she wouldn't live through it again nor force her children to. The freezer mom as she has been dubbed forever changed the course of not only her life but of her four children forever.

Losing a child is already hard enough, but what do you do when your community wants you to turn your back on your child. The only decision they give you is to turn away from one in order to fight for the other. The Witman's lives will never be the same after tragedy strikes and their left to pick up the pieces. After listening tell me What Would You Do? and Who do YOU believe?

Caroline had dreams of being someone other than who she was. She hated her appearance and how forgettable she was. BUT Rachel.....Rachel had everything.

What would you be willing to do to get to the one you love? For Steven Russel the thing standing in his way was a prison cell and he would do whatever it took because nothing was going to keep him away from his love. Let WLITD tell you the story that inspired the movie I Love You Phillip Morris.

It can be hard struggling daily to try to live up to high expectations and be who you want to be. Constantly battling whether you're doing enough or not even close. Jennifer Pan dealt with this everyday with her parents. They watched her every move and made sure she was living up to their expectations. But somewhere their expectations and what she wanted cause a riff and she began trying to find a way out. When she thought enough was enough she let her emotions get the best of her and made a rash decision.

Drake said "Twitter fingers turn to trigger fingers". When people use the internet to vent their frustrations about others things can get out of hand. We see it everyday someone's messy drama unfolding before us. For Skylar Neese the drama didn't stop at Twitter and her best friends took it further. They're now being referred to as the real life mean girls.

It seems as if everyone is trying to achieve something. Some do it the long way and some use their talents and charm to get others to do the work for them.

They say you have a 1 in 500,000 chance of being struck by lightening. What if you were so unlucky you were struck twice? What are those chances?
