Rough.

As I went threw school till about half way threw grade seven I was bullied. I was always known for the shy girl till about the end of grade nine. I am currently in grade ten. But about that bullying I don't know really what I had did to those girls who constantly followed me home just so they could tease me till I cried, witch usually took them awhile. Just cause my clothes wasn't the tightest, or I didn't wear skirts, or that I didn't wear make-up or even just cause I wasn't as girly. As I go on today, I still get called the occasional names, not by them by other people. I don't see the point in stereo types but yet I get called some like emo, goth or scene. I don't get it really, the reason to why I dress the way I do (in black) because I am bad at putting colour's together. I don't exactly have a inspirer that made me as confident as I am now I just one day woke up and decided time to confront the bullies, as I did. And now ever since the day, they did it one more week and realized that they were wasting they're time. I just had my friend rub it in my face though on how she had a boyfriend and I didn't, well ended up soon after that, that the guy I liked asked me out. With my friend rubbing it in my face it was pretty rude considering she came to me before she had the boyfriend she has now for advice on how to get a boyfriend. As bad as it sounds I regretted giving her that advice because once she got a boyfriend she ended up ditching me all the time. Another thing that is rough is when you don't have many good relationship's to give them the greatest advice. For example I have bin cheated on and lied to in many of the relationships I have bin in. But my friend's lately or at least one of them, that being the one who rubbed it in my face that I didn't have a boyfriend, well she always talks about how her life is so depressing but really if you look at it, it isn't bad compared to other people I know. Like she thinks her life sucks because she got grounded for yelling at her mom because she couldn't go out.. And then the next day her mom would take her out of school for shopping.. Not much of a great friend, but yes I have told her what I think. Well she is one of the examples of why I am not friends with many girls.
Other then bullies, relationships and friends being rough, family can be too. No matter what no family is perfect... Well at least I know my dad isn't but not sure if that still stands for today haven't seen him since I was 11. But that was out of my choice, and he would blame my mother. Life as a teen is rough I'm still going threw it.
When I want to get out of the world and think I like to visit my uncle and we will go to his cottage, or just stay at home in my room listening to music while drawing.
Going back to relationships a quick moment before I finish. Well I just remembered after all the bullying I got the guts to ask the guy I liked out to grade 8 graduation, and what he had said was "no because I don't want my friends to find out I like someone that isn't popular". I had seen the guy in grade 9 in the store with his friends and I was with mine of course and then he had saw me and just told his friends he would wait out side. But he had only done that as soon as he saw I was in the store. After that I had a good laugh at that.
Well goodbye.

The song kinda has to go.

Hi There I just read your

Hi There
I just read your submission and I'm sorry to hear that you're going through so much. If you want to talk to someone, I'm here. I'm over twenty now and I've been through so much and I know if you have to really build confidence inside during the high school times... and trust me they don't last forever. Know that there are others here at swigg like me who know what you're going through and would love to chat anytime. Write back if you need to vent that's what we are here for. If you want a job writing for swigg we have lots of intern positions too. Sometimes when you reach out and help others by sharing your story (as you have done here) it makes you feel good. Just reading what you wrote makes me realize that I was not the only one in high school that had ups and downs like this.

With care from

Amanda

Really, i'd like that.(:
