Started as a little lie
14 year old female
Year 9 I guess, is the year that you begin to filter all your Year 7 friends in order to find out who really respects you. While many of my other friends were doing this, I didn't want anyone to stop being friends with me.
My group of friends were mostly all sporty and I freaked, thinking that I would be the first to run out of friends so I formed this idea that maybe I could pretend to be sporty an they would all love me and want to be my best friends. As this tiny lie progressed, teachers began to find out and I guess that I just kinda went along with it.
I pretended that I went overseas for an international sporting event and everyone was telling me that I must be so good and everything. When I got back from my 'holiday' the school rang my mum. The next day I had to go and talk to the deputy but still I denied that all my sporting history was a lie.
She referred me to a counsellor who gradually helped me to get through the depressive state that i was in. If it wasn't for all of the support from my teachers in particular there is no way that I could have ever made it through such hard times.
