To whom it may concern, 

  I am a 15 year old girl. I have many hopes in dreams for my future and career. I prosper to go to NYU and major in Journalism. When I go to school everyday i’m in an unsafe environment. Since the first week of school I started to get called fat and ugly. I stood up for myself and was threatened to get jumped. I had screen shots of proof that she told me she was going to jump me and her texting the soccer team asking girls if they were willing to jump me with her. Through the 5 months of school i would like to believe i have been to guidance and the office more than i have been in class. They pry on my attention and my friends. If you think going to the office would make it stop you have false intentions. They make that one of there many targets as they mock me. For a while i couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror and want to be alive. They tell me to cry about my problems to my dead father. The deny everything they say even with screen shots and recordings. The school board finally decided to do something after 4 fist fights in a row happened. I get told by the principal that this is my fault and I should have never stood up for myself in the first place. I get followed home from school, they drive by my house. All I have proof of, yet they don’t know when enough is enough. They laugh and get detentions. Every time my dog barks i’m uncertain if it’s just someone driving by or if it is them. You may think that I am over dramatic, of course it’s not them but maybe one day it might me. And who’s from stopping me from kicking there ass? I would love too, but with NYU being so expensive; I need those scholarships. I love to learn,in fact i’m the only one who really answers questions. Now I sulk in my seat and flee when the bell rings. I go to therapy and try my hardest to love myself again for I am broken and don’t know what to do with myself. My mother, she cries as she sees this all unfold and my teachers, had a special meeting so they could learn about the situation and what would happen if they went after me or one of my friends. Being escorted to the bathroom, not feeling safe in a building where I am there to learn and get my education to do something with my life. Yet the school shrugs it off.
