What a day or coupla days actually

Wow, just just wow. We had to do this thing in our school called the names program we have such a big grade that we had to do it in 3 days a thursday (yeserday) a friday (today) and a monday (soon...ew more skool). i walked into this thing and was like sweet no school for most of the day!!! i left crying with my advisory (or homeroom or what ever you call it). It is such a moving thing, what they did was they talked about bullying for a bit there was then an open mike thing where people can go up and tell stories of bullying or being bullied. it sounds stupid but is so not so keep reading and don't think im a total freak cuz i will kill you in your sleep. kidding. but seriously keep reading. Okay so the open mike thing, so many kids went up and by like the third one i was sobbing. The one that made me cry first was one this girl did, she was called a whore and a slut and a bitch cuz of rummers i dont even know if they are true or not but i wont spread them online cuz thats not what we are here to do. So she goes up and is like "my name is BLEEP, how many of you know who my name?? every one raises their hand. "how many of you know me??" he auditorium raises their hand " your wrong, you dont know me, you know my name and nasty rumors about me being a whore, thats not me, thats what i did i might not have even done it. Whether thats the case or not i am still a person and i still have feelings so all of you who have heard of me, don't ask everyone else what i have done or who i am, ask me, thank you" and that was it. It made me cry so so so hard. Then so many people came up talking about depression and suicide and just terrible terrible things that one would never imagine. It made me cry again so hard. Then we split up into our advisories to think of ways to stop the bullying. My advisory sat in a circle sharing stories about depression and problems we were all crying so hard we bonded as an advisory we are so close now, we can walk up to anybody from our advisory and talk and cry and it was just an amazing experience to know you have a safety net one that you didn't have to build one that was allready there. Don't get me wrong i love the family but it was nice to know that i have options when something goes wrong.
