My Struggles Pt 3: Grade Six and Junior High

My first year at Onoway, I was glad to have a fresh start. Although I was scared of a new thing, like usual. It took me a while to settle in. After that while I started making friends again, and things seemed like they might work out this time. But keep in mind, this was only a year after I had ticked everyone off at my old school and lost all my friends. I was not very much developed from before, so I still didn’t understand when I was doing something annoying or inappropriate.

When I started junior high, I was mixed in with high school as well. Automatically, there were people that started bullying me for no reason, and later there were people bullying me because they started to realize I was odd. This, again, brought on the retaliation. Which made people bully me more, and made me retaliate more, more, more. By grade 8 I was being suspended for fist fights. I was put in detention often. I lost almost all my friends. After grade 8, Onoway decided they weren’t going to let me back the next year. Their reason was that parkland had stopped accepting Northern Gateway students, so they could not accept parkland students anymore. Which I still believe is a crock. They wanted me gone.
