A Letter To My High School Bully

I will never forget how you treated me.

A Letter To My High School Bully
Bri Leifker

It has been a little over two years since we have graduated high school. I still have dreams about the way you and your friends treated me. I still remember the pain that I felt every day I walked through the doors that felt like hell. I will never forget how you treated me.

You chose to treat me like I was worse than dirt. To this day, I still do not understand your reasoning for how you treated me? Was it because I did something wrong that I am unaware about? Is it because you were bored? Is it because you were insecure so you had to make someone feel bad to feel good about yourself? Whatever your reason is, I probably still will never understand.

I want to say for everything you have done to me, that I hate you, but if I said that I would be lying in a way. You made me feel completely worthless, but without that, I would not appreciate the confidence that I have now.

Without your mean names that you called me, I would not appreciate the amazing things my friends say about me. Without the hell you put me through I would not be as conscious about the way I treat people.

Most importantly, without you. I would not have gone to away to college. You made my life such living hell to the point that I could not be in that town any longer. You are the reason, I got out of there. So thank you for that. Thank you for giving me my lowest days because now I appreciate my greatest days.

At this point, you would think that I hope that you go through what you put me through, but I don't wish that upon you, I do not wish that upon anyone.

My final words for you are, thank you. Thank you for making my life living hell, thank you for all of the names, thank you for the constant tears, the anxiety I had every day I walked through the high school doors, and thank you for making me feel like I was worthless. Thank you for all of these things because I recognize now, those were never true. Those days where I felt like absolute garbage are completely in the past now. The people in my life now amaze me every moment of every day. I would not appreciate those as much if it were not for you and your vicious words, so for that thank you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
