Empathy and Suggestions
Quote From: kizikizihi! I've had school trouble also. My student life has been miserable! Now I'm all quiet and reserved at school- I have no friends and no social niche. My freshman year was so horrible that I started going to a new school. The odd thing is, I never realized how miserable I was at that school until I saw how happy I was at this one.
Yeah, I've been torn up inside for a while; ppl can be so cruel.
But now I have something to look forward to: I recently 'found' an old friend of mine, the only person my age I really trusted. He's changed SO much. I can tell fate has not been very nice to him- he looks as sad on the outside as I felt on the inside.
The problem? With my 'scarring', I found I'm having difficulty talking to him. When I think of trying to, I get that fear I used to get in school- that someone will turn around and smack me.
He's a nice guy; I wanna be his friend again; he'd never lash out at me nor I him.
:sigh:
Any ideas??? I re-met him at ChristWay in Ooltewah/Chattanooga Tn : )
I know how you feel: I've moved seven times in my life, and in all of my schools until this one, I've been an outcast. :) My advice is to just try to be friends with him again: if you two really don't hit it off like you did before, then that's okay, but if you do hit it off, then you will be real glad you tried. As to your worries, I also can relate, as I have betrayed and backstabbed a lot: if you truly are worried, maybe you can tell him aobut your worries, or someone else that you trust. I've always found that helps. If not, you can just keep your eyes open and see what happens. Nothing good happens if you don't take a risk, but as soon as you feel like you're wading in dangerously deep, you have every right to try and find a way out. :) Hope this helps.
