I know why people hate me
I am not just making this hate thing up. It is the truth. People hate me because I seem to talk bad about people around me. I do this to fit in, but it seems to backfire on me. I then have to find more people to hang out with, because I lose every friend I try to make. You'd think I would figure this out, but I seem to keep doing the same thing with every group of friends I come across. I even have had to change schools, and each time I thought this would be the time I would do things differently and I wouldn't trash one person to be friends with someone else.
