There was a girl that I was friends with since 4th grade. Everything was fine until we hit middle school. She got pretty and I had a bad case of awkward 12 year old, so needless to say she didn’t want to be seen with me.<\/p>\n
My poor 12 year old self was a bit oblivious to bitchery. I would put my things down on the lunch table while I bought food, and by the time I returned my things would be thrown onto another cafeteria, with another girl claiming my spot. I was shy and incapable of standing up for myself. I continued to try to sit at this table the whole year, until a breaking point (which I will get to later). She also offered to make me an origami birthday present, and said she would give it to me at my birthday party. Birthday came, she flaked, and I asked about the gift she had talked about for over a month. She decided to keep it for herself.<\/p>\n
Then one day I got to school, and one of her friends approached me. “(Girl) thinks you’re ugly, stupid, fat, and annoying, and she doesn’t want to be friends with you anymore.” She was my only “friend” at that school, so needless to say I cried in front of the whole cafeteria. At the end of the day when I got on the bus to go home, another one of her friends approached me. “Hey, (Girl) says….” “SHUT THE HELL UP.” I silenced the bus.<\/p>\n
No one bothered to fuck with me after that, but I didn’t really make friends until 8th grade. I have some pretty great friends now.<\/p>\n
