My name is alex hartley, im 15, and i have a problem with saying sorry. My friends tell me not to say it but i come out with ok sorry, its a habit. I think it started when i was in year 5-6 i didont realy trust pplz and i would continue to ask them if they hated me. When i got to high shool i didont know any one and i was very quiet i realy wanted people to not hate me so i would say sorry when i bumped in to them as i was walking past them, and when they would ask to borow my pencil i would say “yea of corse sorry”. i didont talk much eather and i think that anoyed a lot of people. anyway i moved to darwin in the last term of year 8 and i made a lot of friends i started to talk to people. but i stoped being the new girl and i thort people wer making up romers and i didont like thet so i started saying sorry again. Now people are sick of me i think cos my boy friend and i broke up and my friend (lets call her “stacy”) has bean looking for an excuse to stop being my friend or at least thats the way she makes me feal some times. we ust to talk a lot but now we dont talk very much. I think shes worred i like her boy friend. But anyway i realy do want to stop this sorry thing b 4 i lose any more friends thanks 4 listening.
