The Lows and Highs of my Sophomore Year

My sophomore year was full of ups and downs. I went into the year not knowing where to sit at lunch, and unsure of myself. I ended up going to Germany, quitting gymnastics, joining the cheer team, and becoming a track star. As all these amazing things happened, I spent more time with my teacher, science guy, which quickly became something more.    Key Takeaways:    [8:30] Going to gymnastics camp again and feeling harassed  [11:03] Gymnastics camp giving me a social life [12:36] My eventful first day of 10th grade as a cheerleader [13:58] Mr. Smith made such an impact on my life [17:07] Going to science guy's class and being humiliated  [19:34] Enjoying cheerleading, dances, getting drunk and in trouble [24:35] Quitting gymnastics and struggling with my asthma  [26:25] Keeping myself insanely busy and trying to find a new social group [28:39] Starting to spend time with science guy in his apartment [30:28] I struggle with boundaries and where lines can blur with teachers  [34:01] Making excuses to spend more and more time with science guy  [36:30] Going out for track because of science guy, but struggling with asthma  [41:24] Feeling like I fit in, becoming a track star, and getting popular  [45:57] Having sex for the first time at 15 and the trauma repeating in my life  [50:53] I recreated the abuse and trauma from when I was younger  Resources:   The Silence of Great Distance  The Body Keeps the Score Connect with Barb:   Website   Facebook    Instagram   YouTube   The Molly B Foundation
