Evenings and weekends
โHi, you. This time last year I was exactly where you are. Nobody sits with me at lunch. That was my life. These days I mostly feel like me. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.โ
โTo whoever needs this: Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. I remember when my mum says ignore them, like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. A few years back, that was me. The school did nothing. That was every day. Now I sleep most nights. It changes. It really does. Sending love.โ
โI'm only 17 and I don't have it all figured out, but if you're just starting with bullying stuff, here's what I know. It's not your fault. Even if you think you did something to cause it. You didn't. Telling someone helps, even if it's just one person. My mom was annoying about it but she was right that I needed to tell her. I'm not going to say it gets easy because it didn't for me yet. But the group chat about me stopped and I played football again last week. That's something. The mornings are still hard but I get up eventually. Find one thing that's yours, like my cat Pickles, and hold onto it.โ
