I won’t lie, I’ve been relating to this myth a lot. Silenced, ignored,unimportant. Kudzu has been a saving grace when it gets to be a lot.Recently while in a classroom after school Kudzu and I listened as aboy was bad talking me to one of my favorite teachers. For the sake ofdecency we’ll call him: Dave, and the teacher Mr. M.Dave: Yeah she’s getting rid of everyone’s friends, and just spreadingnasty rumors.Mr. M remained silent (thank gods)Kudzu: Verdant doesn’t do that, she stays out of dramaDave: No, she’s been spreading the rumors about me, and getting ridof all my friends. Especially the rumors about “the video”Verdant (me): I never heard or seen anything about a video. And likeKudzu said, I hate High school drama and stay out of it.Dave: NoLike peck neck what? You are complaining about ME spreadingrumors when I never did so, and ignoring me when I say I didn’tThen today… I had an argument with my brother where my words keptgetting twisted and it just got to the point of me locking myself in myroom and texting Kudzu.I’ll admit that it hurt more than I thought it would. Dave used to be anacquaintance of mine and when I started feeling uncomfortable aroundhim I left. I’ve never given a dime about what people think about me. Ilearned very quickly I would never fit in. But someone I used to talk to,and believe, and defend, spreading rumors and lies about me… itstruck something. Anyway… I’m trying to start ignoring it again, buthad to rant somewhere it wouldn’t be heard by rude annoying classmates. I’m just so sick of this. I defended him, and now I’m beingpainted a villain, again. After I lost a friend due to her lies andmanipulation and breaking my trust as well. And I feel like I need tostay closer to my friends. And i just really don’t know what to do at thispoint.Pointers?Suggestions?
