My story

7th Grade

She was quiet for the most part, no rumors, lies, or interrogations almost all year. However, her friend from the previous insert was alive and well. She and I rode bus together so she was always there. She slammed on my every move. She tore up my Spanish homework, yelled nonsense at me, and embarrassed me in front of everyone.

I'd hardly even talked to this girl, I had no idea what was going on.

Meanwhile, the original bully had been going through a rough patch of her own. She drank beer, tried to do pot (both rumors that I am unsure of), and cut herself. All because her friends turned on her saying she was fake. She lost all but a few friends. She soon got them all back though. She got help, counseling, more friends, and sympathy.

After what the second girl had been doing to me, on top of my 'Daddy Issues', I cut and lost hope in pretty much everything. My grades dropped, my best friend called me bipolar, and I gave up basically. The school counselor found my journal and called me into her office. This was a different counselor than before, she made me feel welcome and wanted. I got six counseling sessions and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety; and OCD but that's not important right now.
