A crowd of monsters

in Freewriters7 days ago

There was a brief silence as I passed by. They looked away in different directions pretending to be doing something else. I could still hear their silent giggles in mockery as I passed by.

I didn’t understood how the people I once thought were my friends have suddenly turned to a crowd of monsters.

My heart broke and my steps heavy, I had to drag myself away from there as I felt like the ground should open and I fall into it. But what could I have done? I was only a child and it wasn’t my fault.

I knew they were talking about me but all kept mute on seeing me coming and passing by. They broke into a mocking laughter as I passed by and started calling me white and bald beaded.

Well, that’s was the end of that circle of friends. A little back story here. I had a very beautiful hair as a child and it was the envy of many. Well one of those days , I developed ring worm on my scalp. It was very severe and mum and dad had to scrape off my hairs. My little pride was gone, hahaha.

Mum and dad started treating it with different ointments and drugs. One of those ointments was a yellowish substance that they rubbed on my scalp every morning and I had to carry it to school everyday.

I wasn’t comfortable with that but what do I do. These brought a lot of mockery from the people I so called friends. They would always gather in their numbers as jeer as me whenever am passing and call me whitish and bald headed.

This continued over time and I was wondering how so called friends would turn to monsters. Was it my fault that I had ringworms. What was I supposed to do as a child?

Tell mum and dad that they shouldn’t have scrapped my hairs? Stand to their face and tell them that I ain’t carrying that crazy ointment they usually rub on my hair to school? Hahahaha.

These so called friends were very unkind and I simply saw them as nothing but a crowd of monsters. Hahaha.

@babygirl888, I am so sorry you were bullied. I was bullied in high school, so I understand how you felt.

Is there someone you could ask what the yellow ointment was called? I ask this because when I was young, my hair fell out and a beautician told my Mom to get something called Hot Mustard something and rub it on my head every day or more times a day, I do not recall which it was.

My hair came back very thick and like yours, but unlike you, no one bullied me over it. Mom passed, and it always bothered her that she could not remember its name. It sounds as if the oinment your Mother put on your hair could be the same since it was yellow.

!LOL

As I suspected – someone has been adding soil to my garden.
The plot thickens.

I was reading and wondering if it was fiction, and then I realized it was your real experience. It hurts when people you thought were your allies are the ones who bully you, showing their true colors. It's best to stay away from them :)

Yep

I used to have ringworm on my head when I was a kid and I contacted it from my friends who have it, this didn't ruin our friendship, our parents help us took care of it lol.

As for your own childhood friends, probably you were the only one that sees them as friend, they didn't see you as one and that hurt when our friends make jest of us.

Hahaha
Now I have a once ringworm mate😂
It’s a pleasure to meet you mate
You had good friends😁

Mine was a crowd of mosters🤣🤣
