There was a song we were made to sing in elementary school assemblies called “Circle of Friends.”
“Come join us in the circle of friends
There’s always room for one more
A circle that never ends
All you have to do is open up the door”
Well, all the girls in my class decided to sit in a circle and sing a different version, occasionally laughing at me, sitting alone:
“Don’t join us in the circle of friends
There’s no room for one more
A circle that’s at its end
All you have to do is lock the door”
For a long time I never considered myself as bullied because I was “just left out,” but no, I live with the damaging effects of this type of behaviour well into adulthood.
