How Was Your Day? High Five

[Kirsty :]]

I feel proud of myself for sticking up for her... I did at the time anyways.
I think maybe I shouldn't have stuck my nose in, but I've been in her situation before and it's horrible to think you have no friends, no support or anything.

I apologised for maybe getting facst wrong and going on what I did apparently know, btu there is no way I will apologise to the girl who is being completely horrible about her, it's absolutely disgusting and this girl is on an Anti-Bullying scheme... she should practice what she preaches!

Getting bored of being ill, had pneumonia for 2 weeks and its really getting me down now. I found out when my back operation will be - 23rd DEcember. Felt like I have been on the waiting list ages, guess I have at 26 weeks waiting!

Hope everyone is doing ok, and that the various courses you are alll doing are going well. I wish I was back at school/college, best years of your life those years...as an adult there is too much stress around.lol

hope you get better soon and that your back op goes well

Omg what an eventful day! I can hardly type this.. I'm shaking like mad!
I got into an argument witha girl.. well 5 I suppose in school today.
Somethign happened this morning (I've apologised for maybe going on the wrong facts) but this other girl who is in my form so I'm quite friendly with was really really upset because her group of friends weren't talking to her.

Apparently something happened over msn and personal questions were asked to this girls boyfriend and he said he wouldn't answer and these girls were saying it's disgusting.. I don't really know now. Anyways...

We were washing up the disgusting mess in the block in our frees because it was like... sick basically. And behind us was the group of girls all talking and laughing, but then the one girl, the main culprit in the whole being horrible thing started talking baout the girl who's really upset.. but she was stood by me and her eyes were welling up, and this girl was talking loud enough so that she could hear it... but not actually saying it to her face, which wound me up.
She also said "oh why have they washed up... we're going to smash the cups up anyways"... That wound me up more! No way was she smashong cups up that I'd bloody slaved away all morning cleaning!

Then English came and these 5 girls (including the main one) were on about it and laughing and being horrible so I jsut let rip. I asked them why they were being mean and they said I didn't know the whole story (which is fair enough) but they all said "she's the one being petty and not saying what she thinks to us... it's not us being bitchy" which completely gave me ammo, and I was jsut like... "well you're all doing exactly that now! Talking about her behind her back, jsut say it to her face if you ahve something to say" and I said to the girl about talking in the block and how upset she was and this girl said "yeah, so.. I said it loud enough so she could hear.. I did that on purpose!" So I was like... well jsut tell her to her face then! Don't be such a coward, to which she replied "You don't know either of us well so just shut up". Which isn't completely true. I know the horrible girl quite well.. shes drifted in and out of friendships alot and she's a troublemaker. True I'm not so friendly with the upset girl.. but I've never known her be in arguments.

Then walking home they'd ran to tell this girl who's like a year older and isn't even in our school... so she came out and called me back and started on me.. asking me why I had a go at her friend (a different girl) so I had to justify myself to her even though I don't see why... IU didn't aim it at HER friend n particular... I aimed it at them all! and omg Grrrrrrrrrr.

I jsut think it's so unfair how they're quick enough to talk behind her back, especially while she's there! That's jsut blatant bullying which is ironic because the main girl is on this no bullying scheme. I wasn't having it though. No way.

Rant over... really really sorry I don't expect you to read all of that at all but I needed to get it off my chest before I actually go mad!

you did the right thing kirsty, those girls sound horrible, at least you know youre a better person than they are

[DaVeyWaVey]

I think you did the right thing as well. I bet many other people would have turned a blind eye to the bullying that was going on, which would have made the girls think it was ok for them to carry on. Well done for taking the initiative and sticking up for her. I bet she was very glad that you were there to support her.

[CrazyLea]

Yeah that's really brave what you did Kirst and sweet Bless you. You obv touched a nerve with the horrible girl, what with her getting the older girl involved. She is what you called her, a coward.

Where to in Cardiff did you go??

We had to go to the Millennium Centre for a tour thing as part of our course; which was surprisingly interesting. So we spent most of it down Cardiff Bay. Then we had just over an hour of shopping in the city center (not nearly enough ). We were all shocked to see 2 starbucks in one street . WHY not that I'm complaing. Starbucks = luuurve!

It's ridiculous these days. There's this girl who bullied me non stop for a year and a half and got 1 day internal isolation for it. She's never stopped with her little digs and she's still doing it in 6th form; now they've started up peer mentoring where you meet with Year 7's who aren't fitting in very well and talk to them.. they're actually letting her do it!

Good on you Kirsty. It's not a nice situation to be in and having had people stick up for me in public like that I've found it really means a lot to the people concerned; at that kind of time it makes you think that the whole school's against you.

Quite annoyed today, but then I got home to find I've won £50 on premium bonds. I think that was the first draw my numbers were in
There's a new bus driver and if I'm not mistaken it's the taxi driver that I had a few years back who took the mick out of me. Anyway today the bus left early (again) and I almost missed it (again), which has been the case every day that driver's been doing it. He's leaving about 5 minutes early every day and because I'm disabled I struggle to make it to the other end of the school by the time he leaves. My tutor's now had to give me her mobile number so she can take me home if I end up missing the bus one day.

Bus got around the corner today and an inspector got on. It's at one entrance to the school so it's really busy at that time and he's blocking up the road and taking all day about this inspection. 4 people didn't have tickets and started claiming that they were never given them and it took ages.. in the end the inspector took the registration number and off we went. We get into town and the driver's making us show tickets and passes again, saying that he could lose his job because it looked like he'd fiddled the company out of £2.40 or something. He sorts that out and sits there for a while when no one's allowed to get on it anyway, so I don't see the point.

Good for you Kirsty in standing up to those girls, they needed taken down a peg or two.

[Kirsty :]]

Thanks everyone for all your kind comments, I wondered for a while if I was in the wrong for getting involved but after thinking about it, I'm glad I stuck up for someone that needed a friend

Anyways, as if my day couldn't get worse... it did!
Dancing was awful!
But not actual dancing, jsut the costumes. Apparently we had to take all our costumes but our teach said to only take 2.. so we did. However, 2 of the people (they're twins) had all their costumes, and the girl said it was only because her younger sister had to take hers that their Mum knew they had to have theirs too. Which is really really sly because their Mum works in my school! She sees me almost everyday! She could of told me and 2 others we needed to take them and then the others go to the same school so they could of all been told by the twins and then the other girl i could've told because I always speak to her on msn! But ohhhh no. They kept it on the quiet and all of us got into trouble for it instead didn't we!

I'm sick of feeling like this so I'm going to cheer up and watch telly in bed and finish my RE with a cup of tea

Again, sorry about my rants!

Thought I use this thread for my 3000th post which will make today a good day for me
