K is one of the most prevalent bullies I had as a kid.

I vividly remember her physically trying to block me out of circles of the girls talking at recess and mocking me for playing with my American Girl Dolls at recess with another girl. Why? I'll never know.

K and I were close friends at one point, and then we weren't. Which is totally normal when it comes to friendships between young girls. As a young girl, there is a very overwhelming pressure to fit in and be popular. Therefore, you kind of go through friends until you find the ones that stick. When K and I were friends, she was mean to me. When we were no longer friends, she tormented me every chance she got.

I vividly remember making an Instagram in about 6th or 7th grade and one of the first things I saw was an Instagram post by K of her at our First Communion and a few other girls in the background. Someone had commented "Is that Catherine O'Connor?" to which she replied something along the lines of, "Yeah, that ugly lesbian hahaha." I am not a lesbian, but either way that's a terrible thing for a kid to open up Instagram to see.
