life story. abbusive relationship??? what?
so when I was in grade 10 I and still do suffer from a sleeping problem where I actually hit myself in my sleep. and I always wake up with bruises, thumb print bruises, huge nasty bruises on my legs. been suffering with this since gosh.. forever. but in grade 10 it was very noticeable. I had to wear layers. cause I was covered head to toe in bruises. One day. im just walking along heading to my science class (which I hated with a passion)) and I get told Im being sent to a different class room for the period. teacher didn't tell me why. I just got sent to a room. with 3 ppl I knew. a few others I didn't. and well it was a counciler who ran the women abuse shelter in town. was running the little class. about being in a abusive relationship! it ran for 2 hours. and I was just like wtf am I doing in here? when it finished I talked to my friend Mike who was in there. and we were both confused why we were sent there. and we kept having to go there for the entire week. but i was the only one who stayed the full week. it was a new group of people every day. I was very confused. and I told my parents and they were heartbroken to hear this. well. on the last day I was like, ok I love missing science cause. well I hate science but wtf am I doing here? im single! and I asked the counciler and she came over to me and grabs my hands and looked me straight in the eyes and said tht I shouldn't be ashamed. and that I can get help. well when I told her that if any guy laid a hand on me. not only would I call the police I would get my shot gun ( country girl, and raised to defend myself.)) she was shock. when I explained that I was single. she called the school councillor and he came in. and he fainlly asked me about my bruises. and I told him I get them in my sleep. that's when they finally realised I was telling the truth. I got put into a anger management lesion for a hour... at the time I didn't think anything about this. I mean. a entire week without science and I got dismissed from homework. too. it was a good week considering. but now that i'm older. I can't believe how much trouble my school went thur for me. granted they should of confronted me. in the first place if there was a problem. (saved me and that poor counciler a few hours of our lives. because it was the same material every day) but damn school like that don't just do that for students anymore. Im very greatful that my high school cared that much about me.
