My Life as a Teenage Girl - Is This Really What I Was Like?

I was in a toxic, borderline abusive friendship with a girl from the ages of 9-12. She would do shady things to me that I believe my brain blocked out due to trauma. Tanya's behavior changed for the worse when we turned 11. It took me a while to build my self-esteem up after all the snide remarks she made about my weight and my face. Only now as a 22-year-old do I think that I'm beautiful and have a wonderful figure.
