I am so grateful for finally being able to share my story on this site. I go on this site nearly everyday because it gives me so much inspiration, thank you everyone who puts their stories up here.
My story starts back two years ago, before I discovered The Secret and I was in my first year of secondary school. I had been very popular and liked in primary school, but I just wasn’t in secondary school. Looking back I was actually bullied for those first few months of secondary school, but I used to just laugh it off never really caring what people said. Suddenly I became friends with some of the people who bullied me and everyone was treating me better. This was before I knew The Secret.
I read The Secret then and I became friends with a girl and I was the happiest I had ever been hanging around with her, I was so grateful for her everyday. But, then we decided to go on holidays to Germany together with our school, and my friend was extremely homesick and grew snappy with me and everyone else while we were away. I started to feel very ungrateful for her while we were there, so she grew worse with me and we got to the point where we stopped talking. Because I knew The Secret, I stayed grateful for her and the last day of the holiday she apologized, which is all I needed. We came back to Ireland and we had a week off school because it was half term. In that week, I felt so ungrateful for my friend because I dwelled on when she was mean to me on holidays. When we went back to school she treated me like crap.
I went into a negative spiral, skip forward two months and I’m still friends with this girl but we now have a new girl hanging around with us who I did not like and did not like me.
Summer began, I had nothing but hateful negative feelings towards the two of them that I just could not control, and suddenly they stopped talking to me and replying to my texts. Then one day I felt compelled to buy The Secret To Teen Power. I read it in about two hours and decided to text them.
It started off light hearted, but then words were said, and they said some horrible things to me. I burst into hysterical tears and I felt like my life was over, these two girls were my only two proper friends, and they had just said horrible things about me.
It crossed my mind that evening to end it all, but then I saw The Secret To Teen Power sitting there so I read over some of it, and I felt better. I applied it for the rest of the summer, and I got over the mean girls.
Then September came and I was waiting for my bus, near tears. I just didn’t want to go to school, but then I got on the bus and I realized, who cares? I will have friends.
When I went into school it was obvious that everyone was taking my side, and I felt great. That was a month ago, and now things couldn’t be better.
Everyone’s friends with me, that girl who had been horrible to me is trying to be friends with me again, and I’m actually popular. Not only that but I told myself that I am so beautiful and boys are attracted to me. All the boys stare at me and flirt with me, even the best looking boy in my year, who has very high standards. This after people used to tease me about my looks. I have a truly magnificent, brilliant life. Thank you.
