I think it’s insane that I had to deal with bullying as an adult from people my own age.

I started dating a friend in my college’s theater group; we’ve been together for a year and a half and we live together. His friend decided she didn’t like me. She made up a rumor that I had an STD and tried to convince my boyfriend to break up with me because I was a slut. She never confronted me directly about any of this; she thought it was justified to attack someone she didn’t really know. I think it’s insane that I had to deal with bullying like this as an adult from people my own age.
