Here is the story of how I got the name TellTell
When I was a teenager I got labeled as a geek. I did not go out and party nor was I interested in the same things that most people in my school were interested in . Most Friday night I did extra credit or read for fun. I also was the type to follow the rules. I never snuck out and always did what my teachers and parents told me. I disagreed with not respecting your elders. I would often tell my friends and clasmates when they were doing something bad. I was the voice of reason the one who would say "We should not do this, it is against the rules”
I can pinpoint the name however to one day. In the 10'th grade I went on a class trip to Washington for a week. One Friday I kept hearing rumors that a party was going to happen that night. I ignored it because there were so many untrue rumors floating around.
However Friday night the party DID happen. I was shocked that my classmates would disobey like this 1. Liquor was snuck in witch was strictly against the rules 2. Older kids came to the party which is just asking for trouble 3.They were being PLAIN DISSRESPECTFULL, taking advantage of the situation, disobeying and being too loud. So I told the teachers about the party. Well everyone found out that I told. People called me everything from teachers pet to...you guessed it...Tell Tell! For some reason telltell stuck. I was called this to my face and behind my back. I was picked on and insulted by my classmates. For a while I was ashamed, I tried to hide who I was I stopped tell other people when they did something wrong and tried to hide the fact that I always followed the rules. However As I grew up I learned that it was something to be proud of, it was who I was. When I was trying to hide it I was not being honest with myself and doing things that I don’t agree with. I still regret this time but It tough me to be myself. I am now proud of what I do. I am proud that I can stand up for myself and not do what is wrong. So that’s my story, feel free to comment, just done swear or I might have to tell on you.
