I'm sure I can't remember all the connfession-worthy things I've done/experienced but here are a few:
- When I was 5 years old at primary school, it was the end of the school day and I was almost finished a piece of work we were doing, and one of the mean girls on clean-up duty snatched my pencil out of my hand. I shouted in outrage. She shouted back. The teacher came over to us and shouted so furiously at us both wanting to know what was going on, that it put such absolute terror into me I thought I'd better not admit it was over something trivial and so I lied and said she pinched me. Of course, I got found out and got in so much trouble. The memory haunted my nightmares for ten years afterwards.
- One time when I was 7, my dad took me with him to the house of one of his friends who had some new rings or something and was showing them to everyone. I thought they were shiny and pretty so I took them. The guy called the police. I got in a lot of trouble again.
- Uh... well, when I was in Year 6 at primary school (aged 10/11), my (female) best friend and I... uh... how do I put this... "experimented".
- Also had a crush on my friend Jess (female) in Year 7 and 8.
- Never revised for any test in my entire life, not even the really important ones, GCSEs, AS Levels, A Levels. Always been one of those horribly snotty people who passes exams with flying colours and does absolutely no work. Similarly - won a Merit two years in a row at senior school when in fact I did no work throughout the whoel of those two years.
- Met my friend's new boyfriend about two months ago and for that entire day I fancied him. Got over it pretty quickly but I still feel horribly guilty.
- Used to be such a bright and spirited, sassy girl when I was 11-13 kind of age. Lost it all when I was 14 and now I'm afraid I can never get it back again and that I've become closed and jaded and generally a boring and uninteresting person. No matter how hard I try I can never seem to recapture that carefree spirit and sass, and complete comfort and confidence in my own frame and skin.
All I can think of at the moment.
