Lately, a lot of interest has been shown in the areas of bullying and teen suicides. When we were in 8th grade, a classmate of ours died. They said it was heart failure, or something like that..but I'm pretty much convinced it was due to suicide. She had attempted it twice before. Kids are cruel sometimes, without meaning to be. Sometimes, we mean to be. Idle gossip, name-calling, the purposely leaving people out...it all hurts. I've been guilty of it, and I've been affected by it. I'm deff not the nicest person around. I get catty, and I really shouldn't. I realize my faults, but..as I am human, I will be guilty of it time and time again. So thanks to those friends who tolerate me at my worst, and love me at my best. Sometimes I don't deserve it. But karma can be a *****, and it gets me back tenfold. Thankfully. It's a constant reality check.
I'm really proud of my classmates though. Despite the fact we were in 8th grade, we raised the money to purchase a headstone for her.
To those who may have been hurt by my not so awesome side, I'm sorry. =(
