Once upon a time ago, there was a little girl that honestly couldn’t have pictured a more perfect life. She was a successful athlete, had friends, a great girlfriend, but apparently that just wasn’t enough to help her survive. Where she grew up, if you were a good athlete you were automatically popular, so she was popular. But she didn’t like feeling superior to others, so she kept the friends she grew up with. However, they weren’t athletic so this girl that once had it made was now getting talked shit on by the whole high school. Why would they spread such harsh things about their own teammate? Simply because she took a different path.
I’m from a school where you have to go along with the crowd. If you don’t, you’re automatically hated by so many. The people that hate you try to push you overboard. I’ve been hanging on by a thread for quite some time now and everyone around me just keeps trying to cut it. The abuse the fact that they’re the “popular” ones. It’s sick.

Well, hold on to that thread just a little bit longer. Once high school is over, it won’t be “popularity in High School” putting food on your table. You most likely won’t even see more then 98% of those kids ever again… So what’s the point of stressing about things that have no blearing what so ever when it comes to actually starting your life?
This is the saddest story I’ve read about an athlete. It wasn’t injury that ended her illustrious career but hanging around with the inferior people, leaving her reputation in ruins.
