I Am Having Another Catharsis

I graduated high school in the spring of 2008. Throughout school my major activity, sport, and time devotion was cheer leading. I cheered from the time I was able to at the age of 5. I cheered with the same girls pretty much the entire time I cheered. Two since I started, picked up another one in 6th grade, another in 7th and finally one our freshmen year of high school. Obviously from cheering all these years together friendships were made and tested. By our senior year my relationship with everyone of these girls had failed. I was able to accept that, finish out my senior year, and just work toward my life long dreams. Too bad they weren't able to do the same. My entire senior year was a constant battle with them. I had to defend myself every time I turned around. Event today 9 months after graduation and over a year since we cheered together they still pick open the sore. I logged on to my facebook profile recently and to my surprise there were some old cheer leading pictures from junior year. Not so surprisingly the same girls I had struggled with senior year were in it and had tagged myself as "Crazy Bitch". I was so mad. I wanted to leave nasty comments like they had done. I wanted to call them up and let them know just how stupid and immature they were. I wanted to meet them somewhere and just beat their head into the concrete. But I ignored it like I have been for the past two years now.

  1. Good for you! You have handled yourself like a mature lady. They sound like really ugly people. You can find a creative abstract way to release that stress--paint a picture of their character and keep on stepping. What colors would you use? Write a poem. Write a song. Draw a picture in the dirt. Make a collage... get out your frustration creatively and stay the lady that you are. You are going to be a good psychologist.
