I am NOT a monster!

The CORE team at my church held a meeting for the Teens and their parents to tell what is gonna be happening in the next few months sense we are now Youth Ministerless. I thought this meeting was a brainstorming meeting so the teens could put their two cents in. But it wasn't. They went on saying how the teens want this and the teens need this and such and such. Ha that's funny- they didn't talk to any teens. So I raised my hand and I said something along the lines of this- "Sense this meeting is about what the teens "want and need" how about we get a little say". So they said OK and we said how we wanted to have some teens on the CORE team so that we would know what is going on and stuff. They said "We've tried it in the past, it doenst work" Everything that we said they retorted too and got defensive. Then Kelli asked me a question and I gave her a response that I guess didn't please my parents to much.

So when I got home with my parents they were MAD. I didn't get it, I didn't do anything wrong. They said that my response to Kelli's question had a little attitude in it. I was about to say, if someone's not listening to you and stuff, your response isn't going to sound exactly like a hallmark card. It wasn't entirely my fault. But I agreed to write her a letter of apology, even if I didn't think I need to. But I want to set her feeling right with me.

Not just 10 minutes ago, my dad asked me if I had one written. "Yah". Then my mom said "What about Geri's?" Huh Geri? I didn't even talk to Geri. So my dad said that Kelli said that I talked to Geri after the meeting and made her cry because of something I said. And that someone came up to me and told me that that was rude. WHAT?! I didn't say anything like that to Geri. I wouldn't make anyone cry like that. STUPID. He said "Are you sure?" YES!! Why would my own parents think I would do that! I am NOT a monster!

But now I know that someone is spreading rumors that it was me. Great. At a church thing too. The same adults that say talk it out with the person before you tell some else, is doing exactly what they tell us NOT to do. And on top of that others think that I am a monster. I am NOT a monster. I have the best intentions. Now when I go to church, I wonder what people are gonna think of me. And I am in Kelli and Geri's daughter's class, I hope someone else's mistake doesn't cost me my friends.
