Burn

Diary | Age 12 | Tacoma

Today, at recess in the girls' bathroom Tricia told me something Andrea told her.

She said that Andrea's parents phisically [sic] abuse her and her sister Penny. Then Tricia asked me to sware [sic] never to tell. Now I am mad at her for dragging me in.

I sort of suspected something when Penny came to school with a cigarette-type burn on her cheek. What baffles me is that Andrea came right out and showed us Penny's burn. Instead of maybe hiding it.

Back then I felt much more consurned [sic] for Andrea too, but I don't feel it now. Is my body trying to tell me 'don't worry, everything will work out.' But I don't know. I'm not sure what to do. [many question marks, 'worried,' 'confused,' 'unsure,' and a sad face]
