Leaving a Toxic Relationship: My Story of Breaking Free

in e8th grade me and this one guy we were pretty close friends he asked me out one night and I didn't really like him that much but in all honesty I did not want to hurt his feelings at all so I said yeah and we ended up dating for a pretty long time like a year and 2 months throughout like the last month or so of our relationship he was just like kind of mean to me he was only mean to me when his friends were around really so I'm assuming he was just trying to show off so we broke up people on like Snapchat and stuff were texted me like oh why did you and this guy break up cuz like it was known all around school we were kind of like the power couple of the school and so I posted on my story

we broke up it was kind of a mutual decision but we also broke up cuz he was kind of mean to me and would like make fun of the stuff I liked cuz I liked pretty nerdy things or what ever I had blocked him at this point so he had responded to that story from his sister's account and he pretty much just like laid it all into me just like why would you say stuff like that it's not even true I was like I only said it cuz people were asking and yeah it is true like I tried to stay civil not try to fight with him he ended up calling me just awful things I was really upset with that like that's like kind of the first time anything like that's like happened to me before my ex literally told me that I should kill myself and

nobody would miss me like I was taken back obviously but I was like wow this dude's trying way too hard at this point and when I was walking with my friend we hear him yell to me hey like and then his friends start laughing and stuff my name is BJ and you know BJ can be short for BL or whatever but the thing that really messed me up me and the same friend from before we were walking in the hallway and we didn't really realize but we were walking right in front of my ex and he had pushed past me and like slam his backpack into me and at this point I was really mad so I grabbed onto his handle on his backpack and I had pulled him really hard and I said what the is wrong with you but that wasn't a good idea

because that got me pushed into an art display case and then I got knocked onto the ground and that was absolutely awful so I guess that's the story of my awful ex oh my God we totally jumped off the cliff and had to all the way because the do all the
