These are not real names for the people in this post. It is this way for privacy reasons.
It is my first year at my new school. I used to get bullied for no reason. One experience in particular has changed me, though. It was when I got threatened by two boys saying they'd kill me. After I asked them to stop, they told the teacher something. Then all three of us got suspended for this. Not only that; we also had to go to court. Of course, I left with 30 days of community service cleaning up Philadelphia. I even remember the day: December 3rd 2011. Yeah, that was a while ago but I felt I should put that in this topic.
I never really had friends back there for my 10 years at my old school. At one time, I actually had friends there. Unfortunately, at one time or another, they all just turned on me. I used to always think it was something that I'd done. There is one girl I can't believe I trusted in the first place. Let's call her 'Amber'. Amber had pretended to be my friend all this time and I can't believe I haven't noticed until now.
Just last year, she repeatedly sent innapropriate messages to my phone. I do not know how she got my number anyway. She stated that she looked it up online when I asked how she had it. She spreads false rumors and says that I am ugly and that I need to get a life. Apparently, she thinks I should kill myself because I was a mistake. Or at least that is what she told me...
These experiences had made me self conscious. Because of my self esteem being so low after this, I decided to start practicing martial arts. I love it, I have two friends there, and I've gained a lot of self confidence! I'm still practicing and I will not stop.
At my new school...
As it is my first year, it took me a while to adjust. This new school is much smaller compared to my previous; but I like it that way. I've talked to a few people here... There is this one girl that I talk to occasionally. Let's call her 'Sophie'. She is in 6 out of my 8 classes this semester. She always says hi to me when walking to her seat. (She sits only two seats back from me).
I saw Sophie today because she was going on a field trip for her class. (I wasn't on the field trip as I don't have that class). I had to go to my class and she was just standing there so I said hi. She responds hi with my name in a very 'enthusiastic' tone. I was sort of proud of myself for saying hi to her as I am not social at all. I actually go as far to consider Sophie my friend.
I feel as if I am doing better in my new school. My grades are very good now. The other students are respectful which in all honesty I thought I would never see... (because of my old school)
This isn't a question. It's just my story/experience with school. I don't know what section this would go in, so if this doesn't go here then please move it to the correct forum. Thanks.
