When I was 13 years old, my best friend and I were working to get accepted by this huge social group. They were mostly smart kids, very into theatre. We got in and were accepted. However, I had other friends who had mental disabilities and I sat with them sometimes. My group made fun of me because I sat with them and gave them dirty looks. One day, one of the autisitic girls came over to my “group” table to see me. I let her sit next to me and everyone else said “ewww” and moved away. I pitched a fit and said “Fuck you, you’re not accepting of anyone who is different and I don’t want to be friends anymore! You suck!” My best friend and I are still friends..we will always be. I turned into a “loner” after that and people bullied me. I later moved on to private school that year and was very successful. I don’t hang out with my best friends’ friends, I just leave her house when they come over. Like I care. They all did mediocre in school, go to mediocre colleges, and are basically the most boring people you could talk to…they didn’t “age” well in my opinion.
