Thank you all for the support The first week or so were really hard, but it's been just over a month now and I'm surviving I didn't really want to tell any of my other friends about what had happened because it would give it more power, so I told a few trusted friends, most of who go to a different school (I live in a small town, with another small town 30 mins away where I dance once a week) It was hard at first because the girl in question was one of my only real friends in my grade, so I had to endure some awkwardness trying to reposition myself in classes, but ultimately it was alright. I had/have closer friends in the grade below mine at school, who I sit with at breaks. It was really hard because my friend and I didn't even speak to each other about why I was avoiding her- but she knew why, so most people were confused that we suddenly stopped talking and asked me questions I wasn't prepared to answer. I haven't spoken to her since, though she has sent me messages over social media. Even if she were to apologise, I feel that what she did was unforgiveable. However, today I celebrated my sixteenth birthday, and while it may get me in trouble, I invited only people I consider good friends who have never gone behind my back. Overall, I had an amazing day surrounded by people who care about me, from two different towns and across 4 school grades. And there was no worrying about drama or anything similar. It was refreshing, and gave me a much needed lift of spirit to finish this year strong! @gina-RO @dog_lover94 @Bee @annabethxchase @litgym
