#1

The idea for Stop Surviving Start Fighting came from a conversation I had with my friend Esther, who was one of the key people in my life at the time. She saw me at my worst, many times, and always pushed me to fight.

#2

I had spent years complaining about how hard I was fighting, but according to this definition, I wasn’t really fighting at all. I decided to stop surviving and start fighting.

#3

Our internal belief system is shaped by our experiences, culture, family, school, and friends. These factors help develop our beliefs, which are then used to determine how we see the world and the future.

#4

I could see a sequence of events and experiences that had formed me into the person I was at that time. I had so many warped beliefs about myself that altered my behavior as a teenager and launched me into a world of hurt.

#5

I had tried to find out what might have happened in my childhood that had started me off down this path. I had gone to the police when I was 16, and the police had brought me to the CYFS office. I was too old for the system now, but the child protection worker said I had had a hard childhood.

#6

I had spent the past six months working with the kids’ pastor at Equippers Church, Nic, on the different kids’ programs the church ran. I had become close to her, and I knew I could trust her. I decided to read the files with her.

#7

I had three different men sexually abuse me, and all three of them blamed each other to hide their wrongdoing. I was three years old when this happened, and I was told not to tell anyone about it, but I knew it was wrong.

#8

I had read the files, and while it was hard reading about the abuse I had suffered, I felt like I finally had a better understanding of what had happened to me as a child. It had helped me fill in some of the blanks about my memories from that time period.

#9

I had extreme reactions to small events as a child, and I began to lie to the other kids about my life to try to compensate for how different I felt. I was bullied at school, and it confirmed my negative beliefs about myself.

#10

I was bullied throughout my primary-school years, and I would spend so much time trying to fit in that I would eventually lose sight of who I was. I took on everything that was said about me and made it a part of who I was.

#11

I used to believe that I was unlovable and a burden, and that led to me constantly trying to please others and be accepted. This mask became the mask I used to try to fit in, but it also meant that I would never let anyone close enough to see the real me.

#12

I moved to Auckland and started at a new high school. I tried to create an entirely new identity for myself, but I was still the same person underneath. I was still the most hated girl in school.
