So there is this dude at my school. Imma call him Anon. So our friend group met Anon in the beginning of the school year, and he seemed like a pretty chill dude. Of course, 2 of my friends had a crush on him for the longest time, and one of them ended up dating him. I was cool with it cus like, it seemed like it would work i guess. She tried asking Anon out before but he said he wanted to know her more, yata yata. Well once they did start dating, I could tell something was wrong almost immediately. I asked her to sit by me on the bus after about a day or two of her being weird. Our friend group used to meet up on a certain bus to go from the high school to the middle school, where we would get on the buses that take us home. They sat together a few days, and when I asked her what was up, she said Anon touched her butt or something and she felt really uncomfortable but thought it was normal since they were a couple (this was barely day 3 of their relationship). I clearly was….shocked. It seemed out of character for the dude, and I needed a fast way to get her feeling better. I made her sit by me a few days on the bus, and he seemed to get mad. He eventually got on a different bus from us and they broke up no less than a week later (thank goodness).

Well turns out Anon is worse. I haven’t really heard from him in the last few months but we occasionally said hi between classes. Since then he seemed suuuuper sketchy…like a total weirdo. He has my lunch period now and sometime last week it was me, Anon, and 2 or 3 other guys all in a group. We made some jokes here and there and then one of my friends tries to pass our group (we were by the stairs) and she accidentally bumps Anon. He straight up called her the “N-word” after she was gone, and i stood in shock for a solid 30 seconds. I felt weird, like I should tell her, but everyone started laughing and saying “it was just a joke”. Like no, you were being 100% racist there dude. And she is my friend. You cant just go around saying whatever you feel like just because its america or whatever and you were joking. I got (and still am) so mad at him I just walked away. Then it happened again, but not that word anymore. This time, my friend who was wearing a pride shirt came up and said she missed me (She got back from vacation) and pecked me on the cheek. I thought it was cute, and he had the audacity to say “I hate….no…I despise your shirt” in front of her. Yeah, I get that people don’t like certain things such as pride and whatnot, but geezus, keep it in your mind or something. Right to her face! He almost made her cry and once I calmed her down (away from the group, but I was still in earshot) he said “F*** gays” and the group laughed again. What. The. Actual. HECK.

THIS IS IMPORTANT

If you or anyone you know has dealt with someone like this, TELL SOMEONE. People like Anon DO NOT CHANGE, they grow up and become worse, and some even end up in jail for horrible crimes that START WITH THIS STUFF HERE. I cannot stress this enough!! Also, if you or someone else went through what my friend went through when dating Anon, TELL SOMEONE YOU TRUST or it will keep happening! Im sorry but I HATE people who think this stuff is okay. They are not safe and need help. Stay safe yall and dont be an Anon.
