Oh, the great moments of elementary and highschool...... Being bullied almost everyday, argue, fight.... Hahahah what a joy!
Elementary school was pretty much fine.... I had many friends, we had a great time. But. When I arrived to high school.... Oh my. That was terrible. I moved from a small town to a big one, and I was starting high school in the new city, and of course, I didn't know anyone. First few weeks were okay. I met few normal kids, we hung out, and everything was great. Of course, why would high school be perfect? After few weeks, when we started writing tests, getting grades etc..... problems started. The problem was that my friend and I were getting A's. We were studying, we didn't skip classes, and we were the best students. Obviously, other kids found it funny and stupid, so they started bullying us. That was the worst time in my life. I wanted to change school, run away, die, everything...
There was that one girl, Lucy, who was especially mean. Oh, gosh, I hated her. She was so annoying. She liked to throw wet toilet paper on me. (And if she is reading this now, she is probably smiling). I remember crying my heart out every day after school. I didn't want to go back. I wanted to stay in my bed and literally die. I became really dark, started wearing goth clothes, tried to be invisible, I even failed at my exams.... But nothing helped. That lasted for almost 2 years.
Then, something weird happened. One day, after school, Lucy and another girl, Lydia called me to come sideward. I didn't want to, because I thought they're gonna do something bad, again. But, after some short thinking I went to them. I was curious. Instead of starting a fight, Lucy asked me where was I going out on the weekend. I said that I don't go out because I didn't have many friends. The next thing she asked was if I want to go out with them. I was in total shock. I didn't know if she was kidding, or just trying to make fun of me.... I didn't know what to say. I was afraid. I decided to trust her, and said to myself: ''okay, if she hurts me again, it's not gonna be the first or the last time. I'll go.'' They told me where to come, and I went. They were waiting for me, and I was ready for the worst thing to happen. But, nothing happened. We went to a coffee shop, and just talked about everything. They said that they're sorry for everything that happened, and I
couldn't believe what I was hearing. It was the start of a great friendship.
Lucy is my very best friend today, and I can't imagine my life without her.
This is my story. And it has a very happy ending. But I've heard about stories with bad and tragic endings.
Teenagers commit suicides, depression, they start cutting, destroying themselves, doing terrible things.
But all of you have to remember is not to give up in searching for a happy end.
Just don't give up, and don't change yourself for somebody. Be who you are, and maybe you'll have luck,
like I had!
Love, Anna.
This made me smile so hard ^_^ xx
