Rough Draft of My Diary Entry:

February 26 Today was terrible. Jess, who I thought was my best friend was so mean to me today. I have no one anymore. Brittany, the most popular girl was whispering to Jess all day today. I know it was about me. Jess and I sit together every day and lunch and today, she decided to sit with Brittany and her friends. I went over to sit next to Jess, but Brittany continued to whisper. They all started laughing and I began to cry. I ran away as tears were falling down my face, so I ate in a bathroom stall by myself. Later, in class Robby told me that he heard that I was a slut! Now they are spreading rumors about me? I can't believe this, I thought Jess was my best friend. She turned on me in one day. Did they have to turn Jess on me? Brittany and her "gang" are such mean girls! They always need someone new to hate, and I guess I am next on the list. I hate them, I hate Jess!

February 27 I was hoping today would be better but unfortunately it was even worse! Jess is still completely ignoring me. She is acting like she doesn't even know me! I am ready to face another day by myself being absolutely tormented. In class, Mrs.Tyson told us to work in partners. Brittany calls Jess over with all of her friends. I had to work by myself. They kept whispering, laughing, and pointing at me. After class, I wanted to tell Mrs. Tyson about it and maybe ask for help, but I knew that would not help me. It looks like I am trying to tattle tale on them! I really do need help, I can't handle this on my own. Every piece of me is breaking down. I continued to try to ignore them all day. When I walked home, I received some new facebook messages from Brittany. Home should be my safe place, the only place away from bullying. The messages were saying how ugly I was, how I have no friends and I will never be anyone. All of those messages are true. I do not have any friends, I am ugly and won't amount to anything in life! This is getting harder every day and I cannot take it anymore.
