Letter to a Bully

Dear Bully,
Why can't you just leave me alone? I don't like you, but I wouldn't want you to have to feel like I do for even one day. Everyday I go to school, and I hope no one notices me. I always have a knot in my stomach because I don't know if you will push me around or call me names. Everyday. I'm just a kid, and sometimes I think you are right. I think there's something wrong with me. I'm a freak and a weirdo, and I just don't fit in. I just want to get through the day so I can go home and be left alone. My mom tells me not to worry about what other people think. She says you are immature and insecure. She tells me that one day, I'll have friends who like me for me and I'll forget all about you. I know that I will never forget. But I will leave you behind. I have the love of my family, and my faith in God. He made me and I am His perfect child. I know that I will be stronger because of you. I will forgive you. But today, can you just leave me alone?

Dear Bullied,
You are a loser. Every time I see you, I get mad because I don't want to be like you. Whenever I start to wonder if I am just like you, I take you down, and it makes me feel better because everyone laughs and cheers me on. Sometimes I surprise myself with the mean stuff I say and do, but then I'm just glad that I'm not the one getting pushed around or called names. I try really hard to fit in and I'm afraid if people knew the real me, they would make fun of me and they would hate me too. I wish I had someone to tell me I'm okay. I hope someday I can just be myself and feel good about it. But for today, why can't you just be normal, so I don't have to be so afraid?
                                                                         Sincerely, Bully
