My middle school bully destroyed my self-confidence in a way that honestly devastated me.

So I decided to get some revenge by literally turning the entire school against her

in a way that lost her all of her friends, her status, and all of her popularity.

And I've honestly never felt better about getting back at somebody in my life.

Here's what happened.

So my family moved to a new state when I was about to start middle school.

It wasn't the first time that I had to start off a new year in a new school with none of my childhood friends. And it's never a fun experience, but this time was way different. This new school was a private school and it was small. And we're talking like three kids in my entire grade small. I went to a public elementary school before this, and I was very much the tomboy and the all-boys friend group, with a couple of less girly girl friends who also preferred things like video games and cool bugs. I had always been pretty selective about who I made friends with, and before, I had plenty of other kids in my grade to choose from, but not here, because in this school, it was just two other girls, and we'll call them Hannah and Jessica for the sake of the story. Now, these two seem like pretty typical girls to me, and I'd seen their type of four in elementary school. Hannah came off as a standard popular girl, though without the clique due to the population shortage, with Jessica serving as a sort of like one-person click or henchman. Mostly, Jessica was just quiet and went along with whatever Hannah did. Now, given a choice, I definitely would have been friends with either of them. Not because I had anything against them, but I just prefer to hang out with other kids who share my same interests. But I really didn't have a choice here. We were stuck together all day, five days a week, and I had no extracurriculars or young

neighbors to befriend, so I just tried to make the best out of it. When birthdays or sleepovers

happened, it would be me, Hannah, and Jessica. And it wasn't awful or anything like that. I had

fun doing the stuff they liked, and I did my best to engage them with more universal interests,

like drawing or info dumping about fairies or mythologies,

stuff like that. So basically, I became the slightly awkward second member of Hannah's posse.

Things were okay for the first two years. On the second year, another girl joined our grade.

And honestly, it did feel like Hannah and Jessica prefer the new girl to me, but I didn't mind

as much, since I started making friends with a couple of the boys in the grade above ours, and some of the girls in the grade below me. She ended up only staying for one year, though, and the year she left is when things suddenly changed. I came back from summer break for that last year of middle school, expecting things to be par for the course. The private school only taught up to eighth grade, so my friends in the grade above were gone, but we still hung out outside of school, and I even started dating one of them, not to mention that I still had friends in the grade below me. I assumed Hannah, Jessica, and I would all still be on friendly terms, but this was not the case at all. Suddenly, Hannah was treating me like her mortal enemy. She only talked to me to make

Snyder belittling comments, and every time I raised my hand in class to voice a thought or ask a

question, she would scoff and roll her eyes. Acting like whatever I just said was the stupidest thing

she'd ever heard and just disagreeing with or even arguing with me against everything. At one

point, she even started acting like I was

diseased or something like that, going to ridiculous links to avoid getting close to me or even

touching me. I was a very outspoken and engaged student, and I'd love to ask questions and talk

to my teachers to learn more and discuss my thoughts, but the way Hannah was treating me was so
