Final Day of Little Heath School after 7 years!

Hey guys, so today was my last official day of Little Heath School, I have 4 more exams and then I am finished, I will only have to go back to school twice more after that to collect my results. The thought of that makes me so happy! I am currently writing this while sat in a pub with 3 of my best mates. Although by the time I post this I will probably be sat at home…

I have gone to Little Heath for 7 years… That’s mad! A very long time! Especially for someone who wanted to leave SO many times… Although I’m kind of glad I stuck around.

So today was my last day, I woke up really happy about it because hey, its my last day! Who wouldn’t be happy about that? I was in school until 12 and then went to the pub (Cliché thing to do as A Level students).

All the Year 13s had their final assembly at around 11, it was quite a nice thing to have at the end. One thing did stick out though, during the assembly they said, “I am hoping that you all have fond memories here”, I got nudged and looked at by a few of my friends since they know I haven’t had the best time. Everyone has had their ups and downs, however most people seem to have more good memories than bad. It was quite interesting because when in the pub we were talking about all the good stuff and bad stuff that has happened and a few were surprised that I could remember as much as I did, considering I went all the way back to Year 7 memories.

Apart from that part of the assembly, I have had one of the BEST days ever, its defiantly one that I will remember forever!

If my day wasn’t already as good as it was there was certainly one person that made my day. I got pulled aside at the get together for the Year 13s in the pub and got told by someone who that they read my blog and that they support what I do because it’s a great thing, that made my day! Its great when I get feedback like that, it makes me so happy. When I get things like that said to me all the hate that I have been sent recently seems to go away because I’m showing the positive side of things by being able to write about it and help others, that seems to make it all worth it.

So today has been AMAZING, I have had the best day! I am truly feeling blessed to have the people that I do in my life. I have met some awesome people over the past 7 years, who I am sure I will defiantly stay in contact with!

Okay, so that’s it for this post, just thought I would write a little something as I am in a fantastic mood! Hope everyone had a great day and has a good half term! Exams will be over soon – Best of luck! You’ll do great, put in what you want out of it! Most importantly, as my dad always says, try your best because no one can ask more than that. Have a great week! I’m sure there will be a new blog post soon, take care. Much love – Alison xx

“You know why you get bullied? It’s because you ask for it!”

You wrote on my Facebook that I was funny but really weird,

You also wrote that I asked to be bullied and then later said it to my face in front of everyone…

The first part wasn’t the part that bothered me, however the second part I have an issue with…

Do you think I asked to have my long hair cut? Or to be beat up daily?

Do you think I asked to be laughed at whenever I said anything? Or have the threat of having my throat cut?

Do you really think I enjoyed being pushed over that fence? That I enjoyed having people laugh because my leggings ripped and my skirt went up? Or that I enjoyed being tripped up into a muddy puddle for my uniform to be ruined?

Do you think I asked to have yoghurt tipped over me or to have my hair pulled? Or do you think I enjoyed the punching and kicking that went on when I got dragged into a bush?

Do you think I enjoyed having to walk home for 2 hours since my bike tyres were slashed? Or do you think I enjoyed nearly going into a busy road and falling off due to my breaks being cut?

Do you think I enjoyed the abuse I got and still sometimes get online from anonymous people?

Did I really ask for it? Would I ever really ask for this? I know no one else would…

I didn’t ask for the everyday comments, nor did I ask for the torment,

I didn’t ask to be a doormat or a punching bag, I didn’t ask to be used or abused,

I certainly didn’t ask for kindness to be misused, I didn’t ask for the countless nights crying, or the loss of identity,

I didn’t ask to be accepted, I just didn’t ask to be treated like dirt, it’s not that difficult is it? To treat someone how you want to be treated?

Don’t accuse me of asking to be bullied…

Walk a mile in my shoes and ask yourself if I asked to be treated this way..?

I did ask to be treated as a human.

Okay… So here’s a poem (Sort of? Maybe?). My first post in a long time… I was nudged to write something so I wrote this as the post came up on my Facebook memories. For someone who pretends to be my friend now, its funny how just 5 years ago you posted things like this on my Facebook. I didn’t even remember you saying it until I saw it again, funny what memories can bring to someone… For those that have questioned my blog and whether I’m still going to post on it, the answer is yes, it’s just that education is a little (Okay a lot) more important right now.

Good luck to everyone who has started their GCSE’s and AS / A Level exams this week. Remember what I said before, the work that you put in now and have been putting in these past few months will all pay off in August. Good luck(!) and an early congratulations on proving everyone wrong that said you couldn’t do whatever it is that you are doing now. I believe in you, you can do this! As long as you try your best what else actually matters? (The answer is nothing, to be honest…).

Credit to Chloe for giving me the idea to write this and for helping me when I finished it but it didn’t quite sound right. Thank you boo! xx

Until next time, have a good week, stay strong and keep smiling. We’ll see what the next blog post brings, (fingers crossed that its soon!). Much love – Alison xx
