idk if i should put a warning but i’m sure you can tell but there is blood in that pic, prepare to read a whole bunch about my friend being insensitive and disrespectful :D Never once have I been so mad at someone, especially someone who I consider(ed) a friend. back a year, i started band, my friend recently moved to a different nearby school, I take my seat in the band room, i sat down next to the aforementioned friend who moved friends, i’ll call her G, I sit down and G says ‘You’re one of P’s best friends, right?’ I say yes, and we slowly became friends, playing the same instrument, helping each other out having fun and shenanigans for the 2 years we’ve been in band. Tuesday, May 1st, 2024. A few weeks before then, a new boy (would call him G, but that’s already being used so I’ll call him S) S moved from another school and also plays the same instrument as me and G, G found him annoying, and honestly I did too for a while, until the concert (On may 1st) S always had trouble sitting still, sitting properly and playing his clarinet, (his older schools policies with band and professionalism are probably very different from ours) Me and G have to teach him proper etiquette and such, I help him out a lot with it and such. As we’re sitting down waiting the other band play (the way our concerts work is that we do 2 different grades play, the younger ones first, then the older ones, i’m the older one,) I was talking to S about being sure not to play while we’re off stage, conductor is off the podium and such, I tell S to make sure to sit still, he says that he has autism so it would be difficult for him to do that, so i just tell him to try his best, he does, and i’m glad that he did good at the concert. Now, today (as of when i’m typing this) We’re sitting down, since we’re done with both of the concerts we do this year, we’re just sitting there learning new scales, and other stuff, S was sitting with his legs crossed (which is not good for you’re air when you’re playing, especially a clarinet) and also facing me and G, G gets mad (she always gets erm, peed off at him whenever he does the slightest thing wrong, idk why she doesn’t like him so much, because i, personally warmed up to him.) G was getting mad and she kept telling him to turn around and to stop crossing his legs and to sit still, (rightfully so, she didn’t know he was autistic, but the way she handled this situation was not good and just genuinely awful and rude.) S tells her he has autism so he has difficulties doing that, but G says that she doesn’t care and to turn around and to stop. [Also, beforehand, she said he was acting like a little kid and that he’s in middle school and shouldn’t be acting like a kindergartner, (which, based off i know abt autism it causes people to act a bit younger than they are, (i don’t think deliberately, ever) i’m not gonna go too far into this because i don’t wanna be offensive, and to be frank, i don’t know much about autism but i have been researching different mental stuff and other things.)] G was just being generally mean to S, so S gets sad (he looked like he was abt to cry) G tries to talk to me more but I’m mad at her for handling it that way and being rude to S, even after he said he has autism and difficulties doing what she said him to. G keeps ranting abt how annoyed she is and how ‘yes, i went off on him and blah blah I don’t care he’s annoying.’ We leave band and I js walk away. I had testing today, and i was in the Ela teachers room (i had 2 do math, i did ela mutlipel weeks ago.) i was in a group with E, P (p moved back to our school, she only went to the other one for one grade) and H, after we fjnsiejd the first part of the test, I tell P what happened and she’s also a bit annoyed with G. Idk why this made me so mad at G, probablt just the overall stress I’ve been feeling lately bc of school and the testing, but this really upset me 2day. And idk how I feel about G because she is kind of just mean to people. She gets annoyed sm by just a person she doesn’t like being near her, like their disturbing his airwaves even if they’re not even talking to her. So that’s how life’s been going. And so much more. But that’s all i feel like saying, also feel free to talk 2 been in the comments i’m lonely. (also i keep accidentally eating my sisters food and i feel bad abt it it’s not my fault i’m dumb and can’t keep track of anything.) songs r taking what’s not urs by tv girl 505 by arctic monkeys also i AM working on an FM related thing so be prepared >:) edit: i spoke to P about this again at lunch and she said that she talked to G about it but G didn’t change her mind or apologize abt anything. Idk how to feel abt G anymore because the ways he acted (and acts) is just insensitive and rude. edit2: nothing has changed at all, only 6 days left of school but G is still excessively rude to S.
Edit…edit number three. Looked back, almost done with this stupid school year (edited 2-19-25) I do not like S, somehow, he changed completely over the summer, and i’ve now learned that: He is a not-see, doesn’t take ‘No’ for an answer, and i’m frankly scared of him. I have to sit next to him for three classes in a row and it makes me uncomfortable sitting next to him. He does weird, inappropriate things randomly, and I know he has mental issues but it’s still like—doesn’t excuse what he’s done. I don’t like him, I don’t know how to managed to change *that* much and even P agrees with me. wowie. But i am concerned for him, according to him he’s been through a lot, he clearly expressed that, i hope he can overcome this and feel better. I have had genuinely nice interactions with him since the start of this school year, we talk about our shared interests, he just seems like he is struggling and needs some proper help, which i hope he gets someday, sooner rather than later.
