You have had a large impact on my life. It's difficult to remove from my mind the treatment you placed on me. There are days where looking back is all I can focus on. A lot of my reflection on what you did leaves me with questions, the main question being: why me? Why did you decide to bully me? What did I do to offend you enough to make you want to bother me? Did my clothes offend you that much? Was my lunch that great that you had to take it? Did my words unsettle you that thoroughly on a personal level? Did you think it was funny to misgender me?

I hope what made you want to bother me was worth it. Whoever said words can never hurt you was obviously good at coping, because words do hurt. Words made me cry at night when no one was paying attention. Words made me bottle it all inside and try to stop feeling the pain I felt. The actions you took against me were almost better than the words, because at least with the actions, the pain would go away as soon as you walked away. For a while, I hoped that someone would come along and bully you. What would be better Karma than someone making you feel like I did?

I place no blame on you. They say that the people that bully others are people that feel inferior internally, and as a result, need to put someone down in order to feel some kind of power. I did not understand that and truthfully, I laughed when the only apple you had for a lunch fell to the ground. Now I feel sorry for you. I am sorry that someone at some time has made you feel like you're not good enough and you had to use me to feel better. I would like to believe that at some point, you have felt some twinge of guilt for making me feel lesser than you. I hope you now feel better about yourself than you did then.

Best wishes,

The person you bullied
