Mathayom 4/4 this year is the worst.
hong
I hardly feel pain anymore. I'm just annoyed. Every time some friends bully and hurt me a little, even though I feel some pain, But I still don't know what to do..
Win
Who are these people? What right do they have to judge me? They didn't even know how much I was struggling..the force of my father's hand stroking my head. Those loving and affectionate eyes that look at you... No matter what anyone thinks I will help my father.
Ew
"Hoy! That's enough..what are you teasing so hard about?" I continued saying...in annoyance. The good one raised his eyebrows in annoyance and raised both hands to show his consent... At that time, the mathematics teacher arrived. Everyone then returned to peace again.

Short story, Mathayom 4/4, this year is the worst.
“Nong”
“Pop!” Chao Win's exclamation A mischievous classmate while using one hand to hit the back of my head hard. Then he walked and smiled mischievously. through my study table Go sit in his seat. Along with many other members of the gang, including Pound, Gun, and Fiat, everyone laughed and had fun.
For them it was bullying and hurting me. It's just a joke done for fun. Without having to care about how I feel.
This kind of thing happens to me every day. Until I could hardly feel pain anymore. I'm just annoyed. Every time some friends bully and hurt me a little, even though I feel some pain, But I don't know what to do. Should I respond? If there is a conflict, can I fight them?
And what will other people think of me? If things escalate to the point where I have a fight at school. Because I don't want to be the cause of suffering for my parents and those I love.
last semester When I just moved here to study. I happened to sit with Fon, a new student who had also transferred from another place. Fon was very nice to me, and the two of us began to become more and more close. Fon had always known that I was starting to get attracted to friends in my room and different rooms. Waiting to bully and hurt all kinds of things.
At first, Fon would help and ask friends. Stop teasing me. Which sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Until recently, there have been many times. where Fon has an argument with Win's group In the end, the rain fell on Win and his friends. bully me too I know that some of my friends witnessed the incident all along. But at that time, no one offered to help me and Fon.
Everyone was silent and neglectful. Make Chao Win and friends in the group Always bullying and hurting me and Fon. both at school In group chats and even in classroom LINE groups where the homeroom teacher is also in the group.
Fon and I were separated from every friend in the room. The two of us sat and studied together. Walk everywhere and eat together. But the story of the quarrel between Fon and Win's group It still continues. And it spread to the point that Fon's father had to invade the school one day. to ask to meet the person who sent the message to cause trouble
Fon and Fon's family came all night. But in the end, Fon's family decided to let Fon transfer to another school. Makes me a person who is isolated and alone until this day. I usually text or call Fon sometimes. Actually, I miss Fon a lot. And I want to tell the rain that “Thank you for being there to help us all semester.”
(family)
My name is Nong. It's a name given to me by my homeroom teacher when I was in elementary school. Even though my mother called me Nong since childhood, I didn't really like that name. I always introduce myself to new friends. “My name is Nong” always. I love this teacher very much. Because teachers understand Always take care of and help me.
The time I was bullied by some friends My school life in elementary school So it doesn't look very bad.
I often feel like I have some kind of attraction. The attraction of bad people like me that invites mean people. They came to bully and hurt me like I was a freak. From the beginning of elementary school until today I never understood Even though I have never bullied or hurt anyone, I have often been bullied by friends. Senior or acquaintance
at the same generation Always bullying and hurting. Including ransacking and destroying equipment Snatching the beloved's belongings To the point of hitting and hurting my body and even hurting my feelings with sarcastic words. Or because I was a child from a broken family? Make me a weak person I don't dare fight people like today.
My father and mother are divorced. Since I still didn't know much about it. So I lived with my mother and older brother, who were very different in age, in the land that was my grandparents' house. Mother works as a factory worker in the district. Here my life is very happy. But my father still keeps in touch and sends me respects to my brother. Even though the father has already remarried to the widowed mother of his stepson. who is from the same house as the father
And then one day After hearing the news that his father separated from his new wife So I decided to move in with my father because I wanted to keep him company and take care of him while he was sick. But events were not as expected. Because while his father was lying sick in the hospital My stepmother learned of the news and came to take care of my father herself.
The two came to an understanding and eventually reconciled. So I had to live under the same roof as my stepmother and stepdaughter named Chao Tan for almost a year now.
My father worked as a janitor at a temple school near his house. My stepmother is a flea market vendor. Both of them have reasonably good incomes, middle class status. Tan and I have a duty to help our father and stepmother with various tasks. By receiving a share of the income as snacks Overall my life seems to be very happy.
Except for the fact that I often get bullied. Always bullying me, like destroying my things. Or sue your own mother for being bullied by me. Even though people like me never thought of bullying anyone. And of course my stepmother would side with her son. Many times I was teased by Tan while my father was around. Even though Father was watching with concern But father never once helped or took sides with me.
One day after I finished doing my housework. While Chao Tan lay down and watched TV I've been playing with my cell phone since last evening and haven't done my own housework yet. But I didn't pay attention and sat doing my homework at the small marble table in front of the house. My stepmother came back into the house as usual, and suddenly
Tan walked out of the house and said, “Mom! Brothers and sisters, tell Uncle that I didn't give water to the cows.” While I was still stunned by the incident. And my stepmother seemed to be in a very bad mood. With fatigue from working all day He immediately spoke up and said, “The story of my child. You don't have to be nosy!”
Without thinking of asking to find out the truth from me or my father. After the mother and daughter's conversation ended I realized that I would never have another chance to explain the truth. So he got up and picked up his things and walked away into his own room. Passing the cowshed behind the house where Dad was busy putting straw into the cow trough. I must have overheard the mother and daughter's conversation.
But as usual, Father didn't say anything. Even if it's just for a moment, our eyes meet I could feel the concern and concern in my father's eyes. So I opened the door and walked into my room quietly.
The regret of being scolded for not having done anything wrong. Mixed with feelings of disappointment who was not protected by his father Made my manly tears fall without realizing it. I sat and cried quietly. in my own room Think about the stories. that came into my life Both the problems with the stepmother and Tan Problems with friends at school
It was all over and over in my brain. Until I finally fell asleep.
Several days later, after finishing the housework. I kept myself in my room. I no longer shared the dinner table or talked with people in the house. In my mind, I wasn't even sure what I was doing here. I began to miss my mother and brother. I miss my grandparents' house..my house.
“Brothers, let's eat dinner,” Tan's voice called from the dining table in the middle of the house. Call up my consciousness from the thoughts swirling around in my brain. Tan's voice made me feel pain and miss my mother more than ever. My older brother Noi and sister-in-law and grandchildren How will it be? Will they miss me like I miss them?
“ - ” I chose to remain silent and not answer or deny anything. Even though I knew it was very rude and might make my father uncomfortable. That I'm still angry Refusing to forgive Chao Tan and his stepmother Listen to Tan's voice. I immediately knew that my father would have talked and explained the truth to my stepmother.
“If you reconcile and don't care. There's no need to talk to him.” Stepmother's sarcastic voice followed, breaking the awkward silence I had created. It ignited my sense of alienation from my father's new family. and the relationship between me and my father Let there be more and more distance from each other.
(school)
While I was thinking and worrying about the problems that were happening at home, I suddenly said, "Pop!" The old Win along with pounds Fias and a group of 2-3 friends with goofy smiles that looked happy slowly walked past my study table like every day.
"Hoy! That's enough..What are you teasing so hard?" came the scolding voice of Iow, the most handsome and strong girl in the class. It's like a bell that saved my life. Many times I hung out with friends in the group like Pat and Laila. Help me escape from being bullied. I am very grateful to these three friends. Even though they weren't close.
Not in the same group Because I often live alone. After the rain moved schools All three of them will always look up to me and help me from a distance. I feel good that at least there are still good people who sympathize, don't mind, and dare to reach out and help me. I want to be a strong person like Ew.
Even though she was a woman, she was never afraid of anyone. You can protect and take care of yourself. He is also good at studying.
“Thank you.” Once, when I had the opportunity to pass by Iw, Phat, and Laila's study desks, I thanked them. Iw just smiled and nodded at me. I still remember Iw's warm and friendly smile. Now I am sure that at least there are friends here who care for me and wish well for me.
In fact, deep down, I myself know that Iw and his friends Keep helping me like this It might cause them to be bullied by Win's group as well. I feel very worried about Iw. But I don't know what to do. And if Iw wins Bully or hurt like you did with Fon. How can I help them?
"Huh!..You're so weak, you deserve it," came the taunting voice and smile of Fah, the beautiful high-class girl in the room. I could tell that the sky didn't like my face very much. Since I first moved here to study. After thinking about it many times. I'm sure I've never had anything to do with or do anything bad to Fa before even once.
Only I am a child from a foreign country. Looks strange Dress up in normal clothes I don't have good things to use. Just like Sky and her group of friends. They always have nice things. and brand name items that are always ordered from online stores to show off Whether it's a new mobile phone, clothes, shoes or a backpack. that is popular Blue and friends
You probably think that I and them are So different, like they were on different floors. Or they might think that I'm not a person like them. So I must always be modest. and tried not to pay much attention to them At least..Fah has never physically hurt or bullied me.
Even though every time I was bullied by other friends, whether it was Win's group or friends from different rooms The sky will always smile happily. It's like it's something someone like me absolutely deserves. Until today I still don't understand and I still wonder about people who have just met or barely know each other. How can one feel so much hate?
Every day after eating lunch at the cafeteria I headed back to class. To prepare to study in the next class slowly. It's like this every day. eat alone Walking everywhere alone And of course I sit and study alone.
Today is the final exam day for this semester. As I was about to walk in Hope to keep myself in an empty classroom. During the normal lunch break I found that the classroom door was closed. Maybe it's because of the wind. or did not put a latch on the outside I grabbed the doorknob and opened it, hoping to install the lock. But I had to stop.
When Win's group was seen searching through the bags of Fah and his friends Take out the mobile phone Tablets and other small valuables were placed in piles on two study tables that had been dragged together. Everyone stopped and looked at me with expressions of shock.
"Hoy! What are you doing?” I asked in shock. and felt a bad omen creeping up on himself I was only able to retreat to the front of the balcony of the school building. Pound and Fiat followed closely. The two of them stopped and pulled me away. Until my backpack opened and things fell everywhere. My mobile phone fell and hit the floor and it shattered into pieces.
“Why are you teasing me? I've never done anything to any of you." I asked in a breathy voice. Because he was struggling to free the two arms that were being held in place by Pound and Fias.
“Well, I want to tease you. I'm annoyed with you. Is something wrong?" Win's answer stunned me for a second. They have bullied me in the past. Without any reason at all? It's just a fun feeling. I took the opportunity when Pound and Fies were unintentional. Shake yourself out of their bonds. Let out a flurry of punches. Fully entered Win's face. Before the three of them fought until they could not count.
“People like you, don't interfere in my affairs,” a voice roared, as hands and feet pounded into me incessantly. Only a few minutes But it's been a long time in my feelings
“Stop it! All three of you,” the voice of the building duty teacher preceded the half-running, half-walking. It came to a stop not far from the scene of the incident. It's like a bell saved my life. I narrowed my eyes and saw Iw, Phat, and Laila standing and looking at me from behind the teacher. Once again, Iw and friends Come help me in time. other friends' voices that was gradually coming up into the classroom, becoming louder and louder.
“Win Pound and Fias. Go down and wait for the teacher in the administration room! “Right now I can only hear the teacher's voice. But I couldn't open my eyes. I feel pain all over my body. and numbness all over the face
"You all help take Nong to the nurse's room quickly..The teacher will call the hospital first." The teacher's voice trailed off. I closed my eyes and lay still. Don't want to move. Feeling light and comfortable Safe like never before. I'm very tired. Now I really want to sleep..
I walked on a small, familiar concrete path. On both sides of the road were rice fields as far as the eye could see. Interspersed with lemon orchards and Namwa banana orchards of people we know in the village. A long path overlooking the back of the temple. which is the location of the school where I studied in elementary school I keep walking Turn into a small alley.
It was a wet dirt road. There were puddles of water everywhere. I tried to walk on the edge of the road where the grass was sparse. To prevent my only pair of school shoes from being soiled with mud. I was walking back to my grandparents' house..my house.
“Are you awake, child? Please take a sip of water..” I felt like I was in a dream. When I heard a small sound Of the mother I'm used to crying out loud in my ear. I blinked a few times. Staring at the source of the sound I wanted to make sure it was really my mother's voice. Not just a dream I want mom to be with me now. Even though Mom and Little Brother just came to take me back to stay at my grandparents' house two weeks ago.
"Noi..go tell the nurse," my mother's voice said to my brother. While lifting me slightly, he gently had me drink water from a straw inserted into a small water bottle. I started to regain consciousness and looked around. So he knew that he was probably at the district hospital near the school. There was only one patient in the shared patient room here, me.
Feelings of pain and soreness in the body rushing in and rushing in at the same time with the reluctance to regain one's own consciousness Cordage and bandages on his right leg and both arms. It was a testimony of how badly I was hurting.
Not long after the nurse came to check on the initial symptoms. The doctor came to examine my body thoroughly. and called my mother and brother to talk in the doctor's office. After a while, the door to the patient's room slowly opened and my little niece, Unif, came in with a smile on her face. along with my sister-in-law who was carrying both hands full of groceries
The gentleman shot up the chair with ease and came up to sit on the bed next to me. He asked in a loud voice.
"Uncle, how are you? Where does it hurt? The doctor will take a look at it for you." Rusting my bruised face and arms. It made me feel as if the pain disappeared for a moment. I held my little hand up to my nose. Inhale the familiar fragrance to your heart's content. along with greeting my sister-in-law who was busy organizing various things Let it be the way
After recovering for about a week My symptoms disappeared. Ready to return to recuperate at home for a while. before returning to settle matters at school again While I was recuperating at the hospital Director and teachers along with friends Many other people also stopped by to visit and check on my condition at the hospital. Iw, Phas and Laila told me that
CCTV captured the entire incident on the balcony of the school building. and has also been shared by skilled hands on social media. As a result, Win and his friends were prosecuted, received probation, and had to transfer to another school. As for Fa and friends in the group, they also left things to visit and wished me a speedy recovery.
During the school break after I went back to finish up my work and contacted the school to take the final exam. Until it's finished. I never went back to live with my father again. Father Man came to visit and check on my condition almost every week. Brother Noi and sister-in-law gradually brought my belongings from Father's house. Return to grandma's house
My mother then arranged for me to transfer school so that I could return to study at the same school. So I returned to live with my mother and brother at my grandparents' house again.
"Uncle..Unif wants to eat yogurt." The voice of her troubled niece sounded beside her. While I was watching TV one evening I got up and opened the refrigerator. Take a yogurt cup and open it using a plastic spoon. Give various ingredients In the cup, it mixes well. Then he managed to feed the little one that followed and sat on his lap.
along with moving the TV to her favorite cartoon channel Finally, my life returned to normal happiness again. No matter what I face at school next semester, I will overcome and solve any problems. I will be stronger and learn to protect myself more. Because I know that there are always people who love and care for me.
And I'm very happy to be back here..my home.
finish…
