How I Got Here

"We are told to tell the group our names, age, diagnosis and why we are here. As they start talking I can’t help but notice how young I am compared to them…maybe even the youngest one here. As my turn comes closer, my heart starts to pound, a familiar feeling to me. I’ve always hated speaking in front of people, seeing their eyes fixated on me brought back memories that I’ve tried so hard to forget. I think about what I’m going to say and can’t help but wonder…How did I get here"

This is a story about a girl, who is tormented endlessly day by day by students, parents, and even teachers. And, this is how she got here.
