Are they talking about me?

...

There once was a girl who constantly was being judged by her "friends".

Maybe if I change myself people will talk to me...

She tried to change everything about herself to fit in.

Even though her mom told her she was the perfect child, she felt too different to fit in.

You're perfect the way you are! You don't have to change.

You're my mom it doesn't count if you say it!

Are they talking about me?

Trisha felt like an outsider and always thought that everyone was judging her.

Hahaha!

Trisha bumped into a familiar face. Her name was Bridgette. She didn't think that they had anything in common, but they did. 

I feel like everyone judges me.

Me too. I feel like I'm always being judged even though I've tried to change myself.

Even though Trisha felt bad for the girl, she was happy that there was someone else that she could relate to. Trisha and her new friend, Bridgette became close in no time.

Is Trisha hanging out with someone else? How could she?

Trisha realized that her and Bridgette had a lot more in common than not fitting in. They soon became best friends.

The next day at school, Trishas other friends came up to her with an angry look on their faces.

Hey Trisha why have you been ditching us to hang with your new friend?

I don't know I just have been busy.

Trishas friends stormed out of the room, rolling their eyes at Trisha and Bridgette.

Whatever...

Why are they acting so weird?

The next day, rumors were being spread about Bridgette and Trisha.

So annoying.

Why would they do that? 

What did I do?

Even though Trisha was upset, Bridgette comforted her and tried to help her come up with a way to solve the issue.

It's not your fault that they are mad at you. Maybe you should talk to them.

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks for being there for me.
