Okay, so this is my first blog EVER. At first I didn't quite know what I should blog about but then I thought why not just blog about life?!.
My life isn't special. It's average. Normal. Boring. Yet it consists of many problems every teenager has to face.
So, where do I start... Well, I'm fourteen and I'm from Leicestershire. Brown hair, blue eyes yadayadayada....
On monday I have to go back to school after the christmas holidays. I am dreading it. Its not that I don't have any friends and that I am a miserable loner, because I'm not. I have plenty of friends who I love to bits. But my problem is that I go to an all girls school.
Okay I know a lot of people who think I'm a lesbian for going to an all girls school, but trust me I am far from being a lesbian, not that there is anything wrong with being a lesbian but girls on girls just isn't quite my cup of tea.
Anyway, my problem with being at an all girls school is that there tends to be a lot of bitchyness (that a word?). Most of the girls at my school are lovely yet of course like at any school whether its a mixed school or like mine an all girls school there are the 'popular' people. They aren't actually that popular they are just a group of friends who like to think that they are better than everyone else.
To be quite honest they aren't even friends. They are just a group of people who think that it is easier to make everyone else's lives hell if they are together. Charming aren't they?. You might be wondering how I know they aren't friends. Well, friends fall out occasionally, I know that I have my occasional fights with my friends but nothing big, they only last for a day maximum. But thats not the problem with these girls. They are constantly fighting, and if one day none of them are in a fight there is always at least one of them bitching about on of their supposed 'friends'. Now as I am sure you know, if you are really friends with someone you won't just bitch about them for the fun of it.
Okay, so there's this one girl, lets call her... Jade. She is like their boss. She is in charge, and she seems to be under the impression that she runs the school. She is 'popular', rather slutty (in my dictionary a slut= wearing skirts short enough to be called a belt, wearing tops so low that you might as well not be wearing one at all, constantly shaking her boobs in front of a guys face, getting off with a different boy every week and not ending up with an actual relationship), unfortunately teachers pet and I have had the pleasure of knowing her since I was 4.
Jade went to my primary school. Head girl, teachers pet, again 'popular' and enjoys a fun little game a like to call making my life hell :). I left my primary school at the end of year 8 because this is when my primary school ended. Jade thought it would be nice to go to my secondary school, we were the only two that went there and since she already knew me and specialised in making my life hell she then went and made friends with the 'popular' people. This was extremely bad for me because she made up these stories about me which I would not like to share with the entire world. But they were horrible and even though I had my friends soon enough the whole school knew about these stories.
I told my friends that they weren't true and of course because they were my friends and they had already experienced the bitching of the 'popular' people before they believed me. Many other people in my year also believed me when I told them these stories weren't true and eventually the whole school learned that this was a plot to make my school life harder than it already was. Unfortunately, the 'popular' people (especially Jade) were not happy when they found out that I had overcome their evil plan. So they attempted to make my life misery right up to this very day.
I say attempted because they didn't succeed. I made friends with everyone in my year except of course the 'populars', my friends stuck up for me and they helped me get through year nine.
I am now in year 10 and the torture started at the beginning of last term and I expect it will resume at the start of this new term. Oh joy, can't wait. But I could have it much worse. I could have no friends to stick up for me and I could be too scared to go to school. But I am determined not to let them get the better of me. I am who I want to be not who they say I am.
And if someone who gets seriously bullied is reading this, tell someone. A teacher, a parent, brother/sister, anyone they will help you. Don't stand for the what the bully is doing. Odds are you are ten times the person they will ever be.
Here is a quote from my favourite TV show, One Tree Hill. I believe this is true for me and the 'populars' at my school.
- 'I know people think I'm stupid, but I'm not dumb. I just let you and the other girls have your way because that's how you needed to be. Pretty soon we're all gonna graduate and I can start over. But it'll be hard for the people who need this place to make themselves feel special -- people who use high school to build themselves up and then find out that the real world doesn't care so much about who you were in high school. People like you.'
