You remember telling me that people pick on me because I let them?
What did you mean?
Sent 11:36am
Yes, I know I shouldn't ask questions
But, I really need to know
Received 12:13pm
You let people walk all over you so they do
You NEVER stand up NEVER defend yourself
Sent 1:27pm
Stand up to them?
One against so many?
Easier said than done
Received 1:28pm
Then don't stand up TO THEM
Stand up FOR YOURSELF
It's the least you can do
Sent 1:28pm
You don't know what you're talking about
It's easy to hide behind a faceless name like 'Cigarette' and spew pep talk
Received 1:29pm
This isn't pep talk it the truth
It's*
I know exactly what I'm talking about I used to be bullied too
The difference between you and me cherry is that
I had the balls to fight back I asked to be treated right
Demanded* I demanded to be treated right
Received 1:30pm
I fought hard and I gained people's fear and respect
All you're doing is silently taking it all like some martyr
Oh and writing bs in your dumb diary
Received 1:31pm
Getting a little mouthy aren't you cherry
What do you think Elijah will do
You know if he somehow finds out what you wrote about him

Sent 10:40pm
Between school and homework and Matheson's, I don't get much free time
