Personal Essay: Moving To Haviland Middle School

Improved Essays
No friends
Very lonely
No one likes me

The household that I came from was not very good or positive. My father was not around very much, and not for work. Even though we lived with him. I had just moved to Poughkeepsie when I was 10yr old. I was in 5th grade at violet avenue elementary school. At this time, I had no friends and was not seen as an ordinary kid. People made rumors about me, not to mention that I had severe anger problems. I always kept to myself, did not really talk to anyone. Always got into fights which made my situation a lot worse. There was a time when all my peers watched me provoke a fight, out of anger. The kid got severely hurt. In retrospect, it was very embarrassing and now I know that it was the wrong to do.

I also got suspended for the use of vulgar language towards the teachers. I did get suspended a lot of my rigorous, and derogatory behavior. Eventually I graduated elementary school. Due to my behavior going into Haviland Middle school I was put into special needs classes. Still I felt that I had no friends,very lonely, and no one liked me. The reason why I had no friends is because I had abandoning issues. I did not really want to talk to anyone is because I was really afraid that someone would give me that abandoning feeling again. Being very lonely was not easy to deal with. I chose to be lonely because I liked to keep to myself. Also I had a hard time trusting others because of my issues, so I kept pushing anyone away that would try to communicate with me including teachers. Now kids did not like me because I moped over my problems in school. I also had a derogatory demeanor. So I was seen as

    Now, however, I was shy, timid, and scared to make new friends. At home, I pretended to be happy at home to fool my parents, but on the inside I was very sad and depressed. Since I was not your “typical girl” and wore “boy-ish” clothes, none of the girls wanted to talk to me. They thought that I was weird and did not want to be associated with the “weird girl.” When I tried to make friends, they would try their very best not to include me into the conversation.…

    These three girls whom I put on a pedestal in my head wouldn’t accept me. This moment is so lucid for me because it was really difficult for me to comprehend at that age. I would just cry and play in the sand box alone at recess and wonder what was wrong with me. Elementary school got much better as I made new friends. However, I did start to hid my identity.…

    After reading Jeannette Walls’ Glass Castle, I realize that she and I have a lot in common. From her parents arguing to her being bullied at school to her father dying, she went through a lot of situations that resemble some of the less known and serious problems that I had while I was about the same age. Jeannette had a tough life while growing up. However, even though I had similar issues, I lived and still live a relatively sheltered life. I, like her, simply viewed everything that happened as normal and didn’t realize that it was abnormal until I got into fifth or sixth grade.…

    But one thing you never get use to is losing all your friends, every, last, one of them. When you are on the opposite side of the country it is not the most effective way to stay social and not lonely, when you move across the country you are forced to do one of two things, either be social and try to make friends, or stay locked up alone. When I moved from Quebec to Cochrane I was very lonely, especially since it way in the very beginning of highschool. Everyone knew each other, but I did not know anyone.

    Much like Melinda, in the novel Speak, I have had multiple experiences in which I have been humiliated, frightened, and even abused. Not quite exactly the same experiences, although. I was an anti-social child up until I moved to Walkerton. I had no friends before the move, ever. I was always the kid picked very last, the one who never did anything correct, who had no friends, the loner, etc.…

    It was the first week of school and I got into a bad altercation with another peer. This particular day, I was in a bad mood and I ended up fighting the student just because she looked at me a certain way and said something out of the way. I should've just let the situation go, but at the moment I wasn't thinking about it. I regret the incident because it caused me to be behind everyone else and it took me a while to catch up.…

    Back then during middle school, I was one of those kids who just didn't get along with anybody, I was always alone and was pretty much bullied by other kids who thought they were better than me in every way imaginable. Sometimes people are cruel and they still are, but that doesn't mean you return the feeling otherwise your no better than the people who did it to you. It was during lunch that a boy came up to me and starting calling me names, just like any other day. It went on like this for a while until I ended up telling one of my teachers that he was doing this and that this had been happening to me for some time with other students because of how i looked or who I was hanging out with. All of this started in elementary school during 3rd grade, but it just got worse from there and that's where…

She rode my bus and would make me hate my life every single day. I always told my mom and my counselor about it…

    When entering junior high, we were constantly reminded by teachers, parents, and school administrators how different it was from elementary school. It was supposed to be the start of a transition from childhood to young adulthood, and though I discounted many of these sentiments at the time, looking back it certainly was. In an instant, it seemed, everyone started swearing and the hallways began to smell of a putrid mixture of not enough or too much cologne. For the first time we had to change before gym, no one really sure whether it was more socially acceptable to change in a bathroom stall or feign confidence by doing it out in the open. Talk swirled of who got their periods, who was wearing what bra size, and which boys needed to stop cultivating…
