I also think of the good times that I would such as going on a weekend camp at a lodge with a bunch of young people from my group, and other youth groups from a few other churches as well. We sang songs, played sports, and we did some skits. In my spare time when I was alone, I went up the the top floor of the lodge. upstairs above the dorms was a piano. I sat down, and I played some songs from the hymnal. It felt so good to be away from my every life in school, and at home.
I have to tell myself that what ever trauma I experienced at school was the past, and it should be forgotten. I know that when God forgives us from our sins, he wipes away our sins from the past. I did some sinful things to people as well like stealing a gum ball from a neighbor, and I also stole a gum ball from a store when I was 12. Nobody had seen me commit that crime.
When I was in my early 20s, I met this guy from a dating service who was christian. His name was John. After a few dates that I had with him, he told me that he loved me. Shortly after that I began to love him. He invited me to a bible where he attended. His aunt went there as well. She was a nice person. John was very talented in playing the guitar, and he still is when I recently found him on Facebook.
After John and were seeing each for over a month, he decided to cool it, and I became very upset. He let down. He only wanted to be friends, and not have a relationship with me. I was hurt, but I slowly got over it. I felt suicidal. Right now I can talk to him on Facebook, and not have any bitter feelings about the past. We rushed in to things, and we both married somebody else.

A couple of tips - dialogue would help with this. Perhaps a conversation between you and the bullies who wanted your money.
Or a description of the loft where the piano was.
A conversation between you and John.
There were a few places where you missed words (I do it too, all the time!). I am not sure whether you have someone who could read through your work and edit it, but that would help. Also, there are places on the internet where you can copy and paste your work and have the computer read it back to you - that will help with missed words.
It's good that you now can move on and became friends on Facebook. Sometimes, the past is better left, in the "past" and yet for some, in order to have a "future," the past must be reconciled, and it sounds like that is just what you have done.
May God bless you~
