Around a year ago when I was in year 12 I dropped out and left all the people from high school behind since I was bullied every day. I was obviously in a bad place and pretty depressed, but then I became friends with a girl called August. She actually used to bully me a lot to so I don’t know how we became friends now that I think about it.
When we became friends she honestly treated me like shit. She fatshamed me, stole my money, stole from shops ( I did not support) and she would ditch me randomly for guys. After about 7 months of this, I blocked her from everything without telling her. I couldn’t handle how they treated me and if it meant I had no friends then so be it. After that, she spread many rumours about me that ruined my life even more. A couple of months after that I found out she ran away. Turns out she ran away with this guy and didn’t tell anyone. I ended up actually finding her and the guy one day when I was on a walk and we got into a huge fight. I decided to let her go and when it came to the police asking around I said I didn’t know where she was.
Moral of the story she was found and got into huge trouble since apparently her and the guy did some messed up stuff ( I don’t know what ) I
I feel bad for not telling anyone I found her but after all she’s done I didn’t care
Did they ever find her???
They did but then she ran away again a few weeks ago and unfortunately they haven’t found her this time
She’s not your problem, don’t feel guilty. Concentrate on yourself and i’m sorry you experienced being bullied. It happened to me too, so i understand what your going through. I hope you are in a better place now.
Respectfully you’re disgusting you should have told the police
I wouldn’t if i was being bullied by her. I would be happy to see the back of her.
Shouldn’t you be the bigger person in this situation? Obviously she was awful to OP but letting her fall into the hands of a random boy who could very well be abusive by not telling police when she had the chance is not ok.
Assuming year 12 is the same as 12th grade your classmates would presumably be around the age of 18 which is considered an adult which means you aren’t responsible for her decision to runaway. However you are kind of an asshole for not letting anyone know when they came asking because clearly someone was worried about her enough to report her missing. But I also understand why you didn’t. Anger and resentment plays a lot in decisions and humans don’t always make the right choices because of them. While she was caught because of her questionable life choices things could have ended up much worse for her and you could have been the only person that could have saved her life.
I disagree with your comment, OP owes her nothing.
I don’t think she owes her anything either. Bullying is wrong. I’m glad she stood up for herself when she did. I was just pointing out the facts. Her being a bit of an asshole for not telling anyone doesn’t necessarily make her wrong. If things had turned out for the worst with this bully’s disappearence I may feel a different way but when young you don’t always think about worst case scenarios and I felt that needed to be pointed out.
NTA.
Not your problem.
NTA She’s a big girl, she can take care of herself.
