Jess thought that she was only spending a few days with her new friends, she lost sight of what was important. Jessica saw things in one way, her way in her mind it made sense, in my mind it didn 't, this is where the fuel for our arguments came from. We didn 't talk properly for two months , but we did have mean spats that sent us both in whirlwinds of rage , we resorted to petty revenge and rivalry . The worst part of it all is we other people involved, it became a real mess . Jessica used her popularity against me and I used mine against her , I spread rumors and she did the same. Weeks turned into months and things turned very stressful, I became a loner and began to have books as my only companions. I was okay with were I was on the outside, on the outside I was a cynical , manipulative , and sarcastic person with no friends on the inside I was breaking. Things started to take a turn when the teacher 's started to notice and she began to observe the trouble that was going on in her …show more content…
She lead us to the back table to talk our differences out, she was sick of our petty and imbecilic public spats in class. Half the class was dragged in during our talk of trying to pin the blame on the other. We argued throughout most of the lesson and found some shocking breakthroughs. Jessica 's lunch buddies were apparently whispering lies in her ear that I talked behind her back. While we decided this argument was pointless and should not continue we still had some issues with each other. I couldn 't believe Jess believed them and decided to act on their words instead of coming to me to talk about it, she had a problem with the point that I was right and she was wrong . I was still ashamed I had let myself become jealous and turned into something I was not. Jess was ashamed she let herself be manipulative. We were both ashamed that of the things we did to one another. Slowly we began to rekindle our friendship and bond we had, it took months until our relationship took a decent stand. But I was content, I was no longer a loner I rekindled my other friendships as well, my world was no longer a series of depressive colors but a colorful picture that brightened everyday I regained something I thought I lost,

    Although identifying as neither male nor female is a slightly more modern and lesser occurrence, every non-binary person is valid nevertheless. Erasing their validation means erasing numerous lives from now and throughout the past. There are many examples of important historical non-binary figures. Jemima Wilkinson, for example, was an evangelist in the late eighteenth century who founded the “Society of Universal Friends.” After suffering from illness in the late 1770s, Wilkinson renamed them-self a variation of “Public Universal Friend” or “The Friend” according to different sources, and refused to use “she” or “he” pronouns.…
