had a middle school ex in seventh grade who called me a “weird bisexual” and “bowling ball /bowling ball stomach”. had another kid who was a popular girl spread a rumor abt me that i was a lesbian with a crush on her bc i asked for her number but stuttered saying it because i was very socially awkward. i was fat shamed sometimes in school and shamed bc ppl thought i was a lesbian because my ex-friend outed me when i said i had a crush on a girl

oh high school definately has an arc. It amazed me by senior year how I was casually talking with one of our all state track guy stars whle my claim to fame was science olympiad. Its like freshman year everyone is desperate to find a place to fit in so you get clicks and sophmores emphasize it even more really in relation to giving hell to freshmen and reveling in not being freshmen but then junior year everyone starts to get how sorta stupid it is and by senior year folks are just trying to figure out what to do with college or other after graduation plans.
