My High School Sweetheart

Hi! Important StoryTime! Please Don't Skip.

Ok, so this won't be a regular thing, but I think these things should be more known in the world. A lot of people suffer, and most people don't see it. I've recently asked for permission to tell the story of a really good friend of mine. We are best friends and we tell each other everything. She's tiny and skinny and a really beautiful nice person. She doesn't realize that all the guys are pretty much in love with her. Can't say so for myself, but that's another subject for another time. Anyway, she started getting bullied by some jealous girls. I eventually fought one of them, and they all stayed away, but those words stayed with her. She started to decline her eating to the point where she wasn't even eating food on a daily basis. She would just drink water, unless I could coerce her to eat. Even then it was only a little. She started working out very hardcore, which was unhealthy because of her low eating habits. She lost a lot of weight and her weight was unhealthily low. She started to cut herself, and she would even wear wristbands to hide it. She started getting really depressed to the point were she even tried to commit suicide. I'm the one who had to witness that moment. I'm also the one who stopped it. I got her the help she needed. I was there for her, and she eventually got better. She is now a healthy person, and everything is going just fine. I didn't tell this story to brag, or flaunt anything. I told it to create an awareness. These types of things happen all around us. Try to sit back and notice. If you see someone in need, then please please try and help. Also don't look down on them for that stuff. You never know what they are going through. If you see someone getting bullied, don't just stand by and watch or let it happen. These are people too. If you are bullying someone, or even just think it's a joke, it's not. Please don't continue. Bullying isn't cool, and it can lead to a lot of bad things. If you are being bullied, or are in a similar situation to my friend, let someone know. They can help. I know you always hear crap about stuff like this, and just dismiss it, but take it from someone who's actually witnessed it. This is happening. It's not good, and we need to put a stop to it. If you read through all of this thank you. Please spread awareness. I was one of those people who dismisses things like this, but what happened to my friend really spooked me. Anyway bye you guys. I hope you have a good rest of your day/night.
