Purple Mirror is a Japanese urban legend about a cursed word. If you still remember this phrase by the time you are 20 years old, you will die.
Years ago, there was a Japanese girl who was very vain and spent all her time staring at her reflection in a mirror. It had been given to her as a present by her mother and the girl cherished it more than anything. It was her most prized possession.
The girl was desperate to be beautiful and developed anorexia, starving herself to the point where she was painfully thin. As time went on, her health became worse and worse, but no matter how pale and gaunt she looked, when she gazed into her mirror, she saw herself as beautiful.
One day, she wanted to decorate her mirror, so she painted it by purple. When she looked into the glass, she was disgusted. She no longer saw herself as beautiful. She saw what she really looked like: a pale, thin and haggard mess with bones protruding through her leathery skin. Horrified, she smashed the mirror to pieces, but afterwards she regretted what she had done.
On her 20th birthday, the girl was in the middle of making preparations for her “coming-of-age” party when she was hit by a car and killed. As she died, the last words on her lips were, “purple mirror… purple mirror… purple mirror…”
After the funeral, when her parents searched her room, they couldn’t find the purple mirror. Rumors about the girl spread around Japan. After her funeral, some young people were found dead under mysterious circumstances. All of them died on their 20th birthday and no cause of death was ever found, but in each case, shards of purple glass wee found in their bedrooms.
Ever since that day, the words “purple mirror†have been cursed and it is believed that anyone who still remembers the phrase by their 20th birthday will die.
Note: It is very important that you forget you ever heard the words “Purple Mirror”. Just try and get the whole concept of a “purple mirror” out of your mind. Whatever you do, please get those words out of your brain… Your life depends on it.

I’m pretty sure that the Scary For Kids person is OLDER than 20, cuz there’s no other reason that he/she would risk his/her life?
@FurryKittensAreEvil0, OMG I just realized!
Oh man! I’m definitely gonna die! But thank god I have 7 more to live/ forget about this…maybe I’ll forget…or not… :o *_*
@PurpleGirlTheHorrorFan purple is in your name you might remember it…
The bad thing is, that purple is my FAVORITE color.
I have a feeling that since Scary For Kids ACTUALLY commented on this, that it might be true! Either way I have 7 more years to go, and by then I’ll definitely forget. In fact, I can barely remember what I ate for dinner the day before yesterday! lol

Scaryforkids says: If you are over 20, then this will not affect you. It’s only people who have yet to reach their 20th birthday.
The more you try to forget, the more you remember it. So dont bother to forget, one day you just dont remember it anymore. ;)
Its good story anyway.
What if you were over 20 years old and read this? Haha mmmmmm
Woah. I’m so glad I’ve still got a few years before I become 20. Who knows what’ll happen in those years.. I’ll forget these eventually. ^u^
