The Life of A High School Teenager

Ch.11 One Call Away

For those of you who are thinking that no one cares, that no one would want to know what is going on in your life, that nobody would know what you are dealing with on a daily basis, you are wrong. There are a whole lot of people in your life who care about you. Take my friend for example he keeps a secret that when he was in middle school he was raped and that is why he is how he is now. Don't get me wrong he is real sweet when you get to know him, but if you didn't know him you would think that he is just some hard-ass who thinks he is all that. It's just who he is, and I wouldn't change that for the world. I like my friends for who they are, just like my friends like me for who I am. I don't think that there is anything wrong with anyone. When I was younger I thought that there wasn't a single thing wrong with anyone no matter who they were. But back then I was naive, I had a simple mind of a child. And because of that someone took advantage of that and used it against me. At first he was sweet and kind and all around a great guy and then after awhile he started to show who he really is. When he was mad he would take it out on me, he would hit me and say it was all my fault that I'm the reason he was taking it out on me. I knew that was a lie and that he had something mentally wrong with him after a while, but at the beginning I believed it was all my fault and that I deserved it. After awhile I got sick of it and put a stop to it. I put it behind me in my past and kept it there. 2 years later when I was in 8th grade, I was 13 and you wouldn't have never thought I went through all of that if you saw me. During that year he appeared again this time he threatened me with my family and my really close friends so that way I had no choice but to go out with him and it worked. After some time my friends noticed what was going on and put a stop to it, they protected me from him because they knew what he was like, they didn't know what he did and most of them still don't. Last year I was in one of my classes and this kid was doing something that I didn't like and I told him to leave me alone and keep his hands to himself well he wasn't happy about that and decided to call me a bitch and that triggered a flashback and I started crying, I have managed to cry to make it to where other people couldn't tell that I was crying. Before that I hadn't cried since that one kid had been caught and was expelled. Since then anytime someone says or does something that he used to I have a flashback and end up trying not cry. Now if I have to cry I do it in the private single person bathrooms. I have learned over the years that people take advantage of people and use their weaknesses against them. Like when I had to put my cat down that I have had for 8 years last year, I was upset about it and crying and some people I thought were my friends made fun of me for it when they thought that I wasn't around. Now I'm really protective of who I show my emotions to. There you guys go that is my story.
