Part one: Avery’s perspective
12th February 2018
Hello! I’m Avery and I recently got diagnosed with anxiety and depression. I got given this diary to write about my “feelings” but I’m probably gonna write more than that. Tomorrow is my first day of school and I really don’t want to go. What if nobody likes me? What if people make fun of me? What if I forget something. I don’t want a detention on the first day. Calm down. Deep breaths. In… Out.. okay. That helped a little. I should get some sleep. Goodnight Diary!
Good morning! I just woke up and it’s 6:19am. I have a lot on my mind this morning. I mean, it is the first day after all. Wait I already said that. I repeat myself to much. Sorry Diary. Anyways, I’m gonna get ready for school now.
I’m ready! It’s currently 7am. I have to be at school by 8 so I have an hour. I need to brush my teeth.
Done! Do I have PE today? No, not on a Monday. I’ll check.
No I don’t have PE today thank god, but I have it tomorrow.
Hello Diary! It’s 7:30am and I’m leaving for school! I feel sick. Uneasy. Scared. Nervous. Deep breaths. Okay, I have to go now but I’ll see you at break time Diary. Bye!
Hey! It’s break time! So far, school is boring. I did Maths and English. We did get to sit where we wanted and I sat next to this really nice person in Maths. I think their name was Toby. I can’t remember but their non-binary and I thought that was cool. I have History next and I get to meet my new teacher who is apparently the most sulky, downcast teacher in the school, which I’m not happy about but I should be fine. I hope.
It’s lunch time! I’m sitting next to Toby again. Hello Avery’s diary. They think my diary is superior. Too smart for me. For lunch I’m eating apples slices, grapes and a tuna sandwich. I HATE my new History teacher. My therapist told me hate is a strong word, and I agree, that’s why I’m using it. My art teacher Mr Chan is so rude! This boy was just doing his work as told then he shouted at him for breathing too loud. The boy started to get upset. I could tell he got shouted at a lot for useless reasons. It’s currently 1:57pm so I’m gonna go get ready for class. Bye Diary.

Hola! I forgot to write last night because I got caught up in homework but it’s okay. My old school gave out loads of homework but this school doesn’t give as much. Thankfully!

Forgot to write again! Today is Friday and I’m excited for the weekend because I get a break from school but I also don’t get to see my friends. Saturday is cool bc I get to sleep in and go to bed late! Win win lol. I’m bored. I’m gonna go to the library and read. Bye!
I’m back! I forgot to say I had a free period but it’s lunch now and I got the same as yesterday.
I’m home now and school was ok today I didn’t write as much as I wanted to but at least I wrote something.
