My Story

I have decided to share with you guys my story. Half way through my 8th grade year I had my 3 best friend turn on me completely. There was one in specific who would torture me completely everyday I went to school. She would say things to me that I promised that I would never repeat. The other two I had known for a very long time and I instilled a lot of trust in them. They knew a lot about me, and it go to the point where it wasn't just them who knew the things I had told them. The whole amount of stress built up and gave me constant headaches for months. In a time of need I turned to the teacher I trusted the most. Which is something i would suggest that you do if you are facing the same thing, it helps a lot when someone knows what you are going through.And I will be completely honast with you guys, there were days when I came home from school with those headaches and I just cried, it was bound to happen. I thought and thought for the months that this carried on, and i realized that these girls did not have anything against me, they were just afraid of themselves.My mom used to tell me that they were just jealous of what I have, something I didn't believe. After weeks of trying to work with the counsler and the principle I was given the option of a contract, the three of them, could not say anything that envolved me, and I could not say anything about them or we would face consequences. I eventually stood back from the situation and after the main one moved on to some where else, things quieted down and I even had the two other girls apologize to me. The trust will never be there again, I can't bare to let myself open up to them anymore and they know that. I have recently realized how much this kind of thing happens a lot behind closed doors like mine did, and I plan on helping out and getting the word out that there is help, you just have to know where to look.
