true stories of peer pressure
i put up with bullying just to be part of the 'group'
there was no high school near where I lived, so my parents sent me to a boarding school down in the city. I was so excited that I was going to meet some other kids my age, we would all be like sisters..... I thought! I lived in a room with 6 other girls, who I thought were ok at the time... but everything went downhill from there. shorlty after I was living there, i started getting messages on facebook and myspace like: nobody likes you! and: everyone thinks that your a tottal weirdo! i got punched twice, my mobile was stolen twice, and i got locked out of the dorm for a whole night. one day i was in the shower and the bullies started bitching about me because they knew i was in there. one of them took a huge pair of granny knickers and glued them on the wall with my name on them, and i thought that if i let them do these things to me, they would let me be part of their group. i wish i hadnt tryed to fit in so much, i felt so upset and alone! after that i just started to ignore them and try being myself. they soon got bored of bullying me, because i would just laugh along with me! i didnt have any freinds, but i could be myself without being judjed so much... and i was happy all the time!
