Dear Journal,

OMG, Journal, I just HAD to write to you today because something really frustrating happened at school. Like, seriously, why do people have to be so mean? Ugh! I'm talking about those awful bullies, of course.
So, today, during lunch, I was just minding my own business, eating my PB&J sandwich and chatting with Emma, Lily, and Ava. And then, out of nowhere, those bullies came up to our table and started making fun of me. They were all like, "Hey Macy, why are you so quiet? Is it because your parents got divorced and you're a loser now?" Can you believe it?! ðŸ˜
I felt my face turning beet red, and I didn't know what to say. It's like they knew exactly what would hurt me the most. I tried to ignore them and pretend they weren't getting to me, but it was SO hard. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes, but I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing me cry.
Thank goodness for my BFFs, though! Emma stepped in and told them to leave us alone. She was all like, "Get a life, you losers! Macy is ten times the person you'll ever be!" I couldn't believe how brave she was. Lily and Ava chimed in too, telling them to back off and that we didn't have time for their nonsense.
Eventually, the bullies slinked away, probably off to find someone else to torment. But it made me feel so grateful to have such amazing friends. I know I'm not alone in this, and that makes it a little bit easier to deal with.
Anyway, Journal, I just wanted to get this off my chest. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions lately, and dealing with bullies is just one more thing to add to the list. But I'm trying to stay strong and focus on the positive things in my life, like my friends and my awesome cat, Murphy.
I guess the lesson here is that, even though some people can be really mean, there are always good people out there who care about you and will stand up for you. And that's what really matters.
Love and hugs,
Macy
