Chapter 1, high school in my eyes.
I'm a freshman in high school, it was my first week of high school and I put a sign on my locker. It was up for one day and someone wrote "You Suck." On it. Next day my sister was in the bathroom and there were some girls saying I was obnoxious, loud, bitchy, annoying and an attention seeker. I went to volleyball that day and got put on the lower team because I'm not 6ft tall. The next day I was at school and was called elephant legs. and walked through the grocery store with someone yelling I'm fake. I came home that day having enough of high school already. So i called my friend and told her what's been going on. That morning I woke up to go get some breakfast and there was a note on the table that said, "You're beautiful Allison, never forget that. Stand up and be yourself never change who you are. love, dad." That day I went to school hung my sign back up on my locker and in bold letters put THANK YOU! under the you suck. As I was walking back to my class I saw the girls from the bathroom. I turned and said to them. You hate me because i'm outgoing? So I'm loud, at least I have enough self respect to talk to someone to their face instead of being immature and gossiping in the bathroom. you don't know me or my story so next time you judge someone before you even know them think about how stupid and immature you sound." And i walked away. After a pretty good day, I went to volleyball practice and showed my coaches you don't have to be 6ft tall to be a volleyball player. I saw the girl who called me elephant legs, (Grant it i don't like taking revenge or whatever but i was heated and told her the way it was.) I walked up to her and said 'you have really nice legs." she said, "that makes one of us." i turned to her and said honey if I wanted to look like a chicken i could, why do you think i kicked you out of your JV spot for Softball? Cause i actually have muscle. have fun pitching for the Freshman team." At last i went to a bon fire at my friends the girl that said I was fake was there, I sat next to her and said wow you have really long eye lashes! she said there fake. Then I said ohh well you're nails are cute! She said thanks I got them at claires! I said niceee Your hair is really long too! She said yeah, I just got extensions. I said Oh I don't have extensions, fake nails, or fake eyelashes. So how am I fake? You're the one who looks like a life sized Malibu Barbie here.
Just remember, you're beautiful, never forget that. Stand up
and be yourself never change who you are.<3
