Secondary School

At primary I was always the nerd, the geek, the ugly girl, the lesbo. I was bullied at three of the four schools I went to.. Then, I got into a grammar secondary. I thought everything would be better. I wouldn’t be a nerd or a geek, because everyone was, right? Wrong. On the induction day I met this girl and we hit it off right away. Two weeks into the first term, everything went wrong. The previous day, I had told her something I was really insecure about. She used it against me. After a few more days, she continued into physical violence. She did it wherever, and never got into trouble. I got told off. I didn’t tell anyone for weeks, and my anxiety got the worst it had been since I was diagnosed in Year 4. Because of that girl, who I still have to deal with, I am in therapy for anxiety and am secretly having some suicidal thoughts. Every day, my bully shows everyone cuts she has on her wrists. Every day, she’ll do something. No one says it’s wrong. No one points out that this shouldn’t happen.
Do you know how old I am?
