My whole life's been full of people who claimed to be my friends. To them, one time after another I trusted my secrets. Secrets that may not seem that important now as they were when I told them. And those who claimed to be my friends constantly disappointed me. All of them, even if it only was one time, they told my secret. The reason: Someone else wanted to know, or simply they wanted to yell it out loud in the middle of their birthday because it was fun. Every single time I was let down. I tried over and over to convince myself it wasn't that big of a deal that my best friend told a secret I specifically told not to tell.
Kindergarten, primary school, secondary school...
Until one time I met this person. I thought I liked him. I think I did, but everything turned there. I, for once again, trusted someone to tell him one of the biggest secrets I've ever told anyone.
I liked her. I did for a very long time, I may still do it now. And he didn't tell. Not even one person. Not even once.
He may be rude and let people down a lot of times and be obsessed with the same girl I liked for a long time and even try to be something more than friends with me when I was confused. But he was the first person I've ever told something that big and he kept it as it was, as a secret.
And then there was something else missing. I couldn't talk to him. He was so arrogant sometimes...
All of a sudden someone invited me to have ice-cream. That someone had been acting weird. I thought he liked me. But I was starting something with that internet girl.
That someone just wanted to be my friend. And that girl I liked wanted to be friends too.
And then we, three lonely people were in a new Whatsapp group.
And I started trusting again.
I trusted, and I told them who I was. I told them about that internet girl.
That internet girl put my world upside down.
If you ever saw me just in my phone all day I probably was talking to her.
And then, boom, all ended.
The internet girl and I didnt talk anymore.
I didnt trust that girl i liked or that someone as much as I did before.
And I wanted not to be in this world.
I would be so easy.
Everyone already showed me I could mean less to them.
And that someone stopped me.
People noticed me.
People notice I'd changed.
And they wanted me to be fine.
That's what friend are for.
We all know that pollution and school causes several effects in the environment. Have you ever thought of what you & your school can do about it? Here, I’m giving some ideas.
First of all, one great idea would be to sort the litter out. Mostly you can sort it out in plastic, paper and other rubbish. A compost would be also a great idea, but it’s complicated if your school does not have so much space. So, maybe just sorting the litter out is an easy way to contribute to being environmentally friendly.
Secondly, you can try to close the tap when you are washing your hands. It’s a little bit difficult when you have these special taps, that close automatically after a preset amount of Time. If that is your case, you can request the “normal” taps to your school. Thereby, we can waste less water.
Last but not least, you should try to use both sides of the sheet of paper or posters. The amount of paper you can save by doing this is unbelievable. And if you want to continue saving paper, using just one towel after you wash your hands is a great idea too.
So, if you are interested in any of the ideas that are in this article, you can use them in your school. Also, you can tell your school any idea you like better, and any idea you can think of. Remember that together, we can make the school greener (not only by painting it).
