Hi...
Thanks! I was worried about what you’d think.
Hey girl, It’s all G. He’s gonna regret ever sending that
What he did wasn’t cool. He can’t share pics of you like that

Wanted to check you’re ok. These comments… It’s not on Thanks, Ty. I’m really sorry I shared that pic it was a joke… but it went too far... I know you’re sorry… I think Maddy was really hurt tbh – have you talked to her? I’ve tried but it’s hard. I don’t know what to say. She hates me… Maybe talking to someone else would help? Your mum & dad? Mr collins? I don’t know… it’s embarrassing what I did… I’ll just get in trouble & they’ll take my phone off me You made a mistake… You could try Kids Helpline? Maybe check out their website. I’ve spoken to them before. It was good and they didn’t judge.

Hey… Your lunch looks good. I’m dreading this Geography quiz Yeah, me too
How are you?
A bit better. I saw what you wrote on Insta. Thanks – it helps having you on my side
I don’t think there should be ‘sides’. It’s not ok that everyone’s bullying you. Did you talk to anyone yet?
Yeah, I spoke to Kids Helpline like you said. It helped me feel a bit less down and gave me some ideas around how to deal and make it right with Maddy. I spoke to that new school counsellor too, which was weird coz I was embarrassed and didn’t want to dob. We are tryna stop the bullying together. It’s started getting better

THE NEXT DAY...
I just want to say sorry for sharing that pic. I was a real idiot
Hey Maddy, can I please have a word?
Ok…?
Yeah, it sucked. I was pretty hurt
Do you think we can be friends again?
A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER...

I hope so. I probs just need a bit more time
I’m glad we’re all friends again
Me too
Me three
I know what I did was stupid… I stuffed up! But I don’t know how much more I could have taken if you hadn’t stood up for me, Ty
And I’m really glad we could get through this 11
