Long Rough Years

Anonymous

Hi! I’m J and I’m 14. This is my story.
I had just started sixth grade and it was going as good as expected. There’s not much to say about sixth grade besides that my and a boyfriend broke up. He was my best friend for the longest time, and we ruined our friendship because we wanted to date. The breakup didn’t go well and I still miss him to this day. Anyways, flash forward to seventh grade. Beginning of the year was pretty good until I became friends with someone I wish I never did. This particular guy thought he was the best person ever and could do whatever he wanted. He always called me “n—–“, pardon my language, and one day I was finally done with him. I told my mom who proceeded to call the office. For the rest of the year he called me a snitch and called me rude names and made my life a living hell. Coming back to school in 8th grade was even worse. He accused me of sending nudes and started calling me names. The word spread and before I knew it, every guy in my grade was calling me names. It was so hard having to go to school and face these people who only thought bad of me. I started self harming. It didn’t help my depression. I was going through such a rough time, and still am today. I am still in 8th grade, almost finished, but I just learned to continue on, and not let ignorant people bother you. I know it’s hard to do, but once you get the hang of it, it works. Just wanted to share my story. PEace out!
