Even she had started to cry because she thought it was something that she had done wrong and the teacher had also been crying and she said I was her favourite kid and she thought I would never done such a thing like this. Soon my school friends had found out and they started asking teachers if I was alright, there were some idiots that was laughing and talking about me. the teacher just said that I was talking to another teacher about my work, when I had stopped talking to the teacher and come out of the room the kids started to ask me if I am alright, I said to them “yes, I was just talking to a teacher”. I went home for the rest of the day and I was given everything that I wanted and I also had the next day off because it was a Friday and my mum said there is no point going for one more day when all I will get is probably bullying from kids and other kids asking me what had happened yesterday and I would have nothing to say to them because if I said anything I would probably be embarrassed and get laughed at by the people who bullied me.
The next time when I went to school was on a Tuesday the week after and nobody said anything to me and it was all just as normal. But the teacher was still concerned about me and the teacher was still asking my mum what was wrong and how was it at home, she just said to the teacher that it was because of her dad dying that I was upset, but she was lying so the teacher’s didn’t get the social services involved because the teacher’s was asking me if I was getting bullied at home, I didn’t answer them, the EWO (education welfare officer) come round to my home and my mum was angry at them, she was shouting her head off and telling them that she would never harm her kids and that they are well cared for and are clean and are also been taught properly, well, that’s what she thinks, she said as it was the teacher’s who brought you round in the first place, you are nothing but nasty spiteful bitches, they answered to this by saying “we are only doing our job, we are here to help, not to upset anyone”. My mum had a red face, they asked her to sign the paper’s to say that they have visited and she refuses to get anymore help from the social services, she then threw the pen that they gave to her at one of there legs and they went running towards the door and they said they will come back at a later date when everything had calmed down and got back to normal. They went running to there car and drove off at speed.
The teacher come round and my mum told her everything that had happened, but what my mum didn’t know was that it was this teacher that had got them to come round in the first place and the teacher didn’t say anything about who got them to come round. The teacher just wanted to know if everything will be alright now that it had passed over and it had got back to normal, my mum said to her “it is far from over, this is just the beginning of things”. The teacher went and I was going back to school, the teacher just ignored what was going on and it all just passed over, everything had gone back to normal. I was enjoying the rest of school and no-one said anything else about it.
In year 7 I was enjoying school and doing quite well, until someone was talking about me behind my back and then it had all started to escalate again, it was like living the whole nightmare again. The kids started talking about me and they started to laugh and I felt like an idiot in front of them all, the teacher just told me to wait outside, a few minutes later the teacher come outside and talked to me, I was sent to a room with a teacher inside and she told me to sit down, and then she asked me what had happened, I told her and she asked me for the kids names, I told her them and then she said she would have a word with them later, she said this is a very serious matter and would be dealt with in complete confidence and secrecy. She then called in my mum and I was sent home for the day, I had to go to school the next day but the woman who I was talking to yesterday talked with the kid’s who done it and they were excluded the day after, and they was excluded for a month. I was glad that they was and I enjoyed it when they wasn’t there, when they got back they didn’t say anything and they was also put into a different class to me so that they wouldn’t bother me, they was in this room for a month and they didn’t bother me at all.
They are still at this school and they are still acting like idiot’s now, they are in the top set’s but they mess around and they get away with it, they swear at the teacher’s and go into angry mood’s but they just get a lot of warning’s and that’s it.
I was 14 years old and a friend of mine, Karl Brown said to a girl in my class that I like her, my face went bright red and I couldn’t stop laughing, I did like her, I even wrote it on my pencil that I like her, Karl brown grabbed it out of my hand and shown her it, this girl, called Carlene Cooling, took it and shown it to her best friend, Stacey Metcalf, she then asked me if it was true, I had to say yes because it was, Carlene asked me why and I just said “stop asking me all these questions”. She just went away and went to go and get on with her English work because it was in an English class. Stacey shouted it out and everyone started to laugh at me, I was so embarrassed that I just put my head down in my arm’s and tried not to laugh, but I couldn’t help it, I laughed and Carlene said she will talk to me later, she talked to me at dinner time and she Stacey kept asking me why I liked her and that Carlene doesn’t like me, Stacey said that there is no point in liking her, I told her that I had wrote poems on my English book. Stacey told me to show her them next lesson.
So, tomorrow morning I shown her them and she shown the whole class them, some thought it was quite sweet, mostly girls thought of like that, other’s thought that I was stupid and they just laughed, this was obviously boys that thought this. A boy called Robert got the book off them and told them to leave me alone, I thanked him for it and I put it in my bag so no one else would get it, Carlene wrote me a letter because I said that I would kill myself if I didn’t get a girlfriend, and I also said that she hates me. She put it on my desk as we were packing away at the end of the lesson. I read it at beak time and I thought that this was a fair letter, in this letter she wrote to me, it said:
“To Chris,
I dont hate you, I just dont want to go out with you, that doesnt mean I hate you silly!
I think you are stupid for writing all over your books and stuff and even gonna kill your self just because I won’t be your girlfriend! Dont get me wrong I think you are alright but I dont like you the way that you like me, sorry but I just dont like you like that way!
From Carlene x”
The letter that was given to me was only read by about 3 or 4 different people, my friends only read it, not all my friends read it because I didn’t trust them, Robert, the person who got my English book from people in the English room read it, he thought that Carlene was be-trusting me by writing such a letter. Two weeks later and Stacey, Carlene’s best friend told me that Carlene wanted me to write a letter on my computer so that they could reply and no-one would be able to read it, or so I thought, after 3 or 4 weeks of replying to each other this letter come to an end and then some-one managed to get onto my file and they sent it all around the school by email, everyone got a copy of it and I was more embarrassed than usual, especially when everyone read it and I was the most biggest laughing stock of the school for a week, I tried to get the teacher to tell them off, but they did nothing about it.
Carlene spoke to me and she just told me to delete it, I deleted it from my computer but I still have a copy on Floppy disk, Carlene doesn’t know that I still have a copy of it, only the friends that I trust still know that I still have it. No-one else has said anything since when I deleted it from my computer because they can’t get a copy of the letter anymore. It has been alright ever since, I am enjoying the rest of school and when I leave I will be even better especially when I have been completely humiliated in front of the whole school.
