It was the summer after eighth grade, a year of pretty terrible bullying at a brand new school. I had just lost touch with my best friends-- the kids I’d known since Kindergarten-- and once I became a target, I was blacklisted and was abandoned by the new friends I’d made. My parents didn’t know I was bullied or that I was struggling with very severe depression and anxiety and, honestly, they didn’t try very hard to figure out what was going on. Much like Melinda’s parents, they responded with anger, frustration, and a deficiency of compassion. So I struggled; I was hurting and alone with nobody to talk to.

Although her mother doesn’t know what’s been going on with her own daughter. This is sad because Melinda should be able to talk to her mother about what’s going on. Nobody will understand her or her pain that she’s going through or how she’s feeling.

Over the next couple weeks, Melinda started to eat lunch with Heather and went on a couple trips to Heather’s home.
