There was this girl in my class who would talk to me and draw me pictures. She said we were friends, i hide my SI scars but she saw them. She said it was ok she wouldnt tell anyone i knew it was to good to be true. The next day everyone knew i was SI-ing it was horrible i thought i could trust her. Now i don’t tell anyone anything. Now she laughs at me. It hurt more about what she did then what people said to me. But i know i can make more friends i just have to trust them. If anyone could give advice on how to find a good friend or how to deal with bullies i would luv it thanks! 🙂
Wow.. I’m really sorry about what happened. She sounds like a word I’m not allowed to say 😛 it’s so great that you aren’t giving up! I know how horrible it feels when someone exposes your secret like that. Trust is really hard to do–especially after what she did. I wish there was something you could do to really find good friends and know you could trust them. But a lot of the time friends just happen. I wish you could just go find them, but true friends don’t come around very often. That doesn’t mean it won’t happen though. When you’re getting to know people, make sure you really get to know them before you tell them anything too personal. Try and find people who you think you have things in common with and keep your options open! Sometimes people you wouldn’t think you would be friends with can turn into some of your closest friends. Making friends takes time and you can’t give up. It’s scary, but you have to put yourself out there and take a few risks to make good friends. You can do it 🙂 as for bullies.. never let people step all over you. If someone is bullying you, it’s not “tattle-taling” to report them. It takes way more gits to report a bully than it does to keep quiet. Keep your head up. People, unfortunately, are jerks. Anyone who treats you like that needs someone to stand up to them or put them in their place. Don’t tolerate people being mean and bullying. Of course, you should try and avoid conflict with people, but when someone does things to you that are mean, you have to try and stay strong and brave. There’s nothing wrong with you. There’s something wrong with them.
