Hi To All

[bruisedneveragain]

hi there, i just joined the site recently and thought i'd introduce myself.

my name is meredith, i'm 18 years old and i'm a first year student studying primary school teaching majoring in english at the university of canterbury in christchurch new zealand.

last week i told some of my friends what had happened to me over a year ago for the first time, and i'm just now feeling in a place where i believe i can start to move on!

Primary school teaching must be pretty interesting? I have a couple of friends studying that, they've been reading childrens books recently, I'm jealous! Well done for speaking out - thats so brave of you - I hope they reacted well And I'm glad you feel you can move on!
