Summer Fear
Well, this summer I started to get a little paranoid that my friends would dump me. You see, I joined the clique in the beginning of 7th grade. The matter is, by the end of 7th grade, I realized that not all of them were trustworthy and deep. One of them can be really mean sometimes. Now I am going into 8th grade. I don’t see my friends so much during the summer, so I was alone a lot of the time and I wondered if they still liked me. I was so scared that they would dump me, even though I can’t think of a good reason why! So getting dumped by my friends is a big fear for me. However, I’m probably just being crazy and paranoid for no good reason. Does anybody have any advice as to how I can stop being so fearful? PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —EmyWhat I'm afraid of!
