*****Completely unreal, this didn't happen. Some events described may be about things that has happened to me but other than that it is fictional*****

As a study on young teenagers I had the 7th grade English teacher give her class a project. They had to write in a journal about what happens in school; all they learned, experienced, witnessed, everything. The teacher would not look at any journal entries until the last day of school when she gives them to me. Most were full of the normal teen gossip and 'how stupid the lessons are' but there was one that stood out. It belonged to a young girl called Annabel. (Her last name has been changed for identity purposes.) This is her seventh grade experience.
