Good morning everyone. This is Zoe here, and I'm writing to tell you about the user @HazelGBlackthorn, who I just so happen to know in real life. @watermellon543210 has asked me why I dislike her, so I figured that I'd explain to everyone who might follow her why. Firstly, I will only use her pen name for privacy seeing as we are both legally still minors, I don't have consent and that's simply the law, not because I care about her. Secondly: I do know her in real life, and, fun little tidbit of information, we used to be best friends. There may be trigger warnings in here such as mentions of suicide, depression, and abuse. Please do not continue if you feel uncomfortable with any of these mentions.
We met in fourth grade, when I first moved to the town I live in now. I'm now in tenth grade, 15, and in high school. We both are. Hazel was the first friend I could find that instantly had a similar connection to my old friend from my old school and town. We had some little arguments, but most of them were over nothing as big as what big meant back then. Once hormones and seventh grade rolled around, she started acting out, and becoming toxic (This is where the triggers come in): She joked about suicide, which my entire family and a bunch of other people are sensitive to because of how much pain it causes instead of heals, told my friends to go kill themselves, and began to bully me into making me bite myself until my arm turned red. (I forgot to mention self-harm as a trigger warning and for that I am severely sorry.) Eighth grade rolled around, and something happened in my family that is too personal to share online, but lemme just give a heads-up that depression does in fact run in my family from my mother's side and her, um, "absence" triggered it to become more apparent and visible to many people. Hazel made it worse, by asking for proof of what had happened to my mother, saying I only tell people I'm depressed for attention when I don't. (p1)
