Dear Lexi,
Never cut again. Your life isn't that bad, believe me, we're going through the same thing i get it. Talk to me ok

Dear teacher,
What's your deal? You're an absolute jerk, and you're making me hate you. Oh wait I already do hate you. I'm really sorry I was 30 seconds late that day, my friend dragged me to go talk to her aunt, and the stupid clock was slow. I'm sorry I met your "bare minimum" standards, but you know why everyone had the same answer? Because they were lying. Guarantee 40% of everyone did the same thing as me, and a few of them probably did worse. I'm sorry I'm shy, and I don't like asking others for stuff, did you need to center me out and say that mean thing to me? That was just jerky. And stop glaring at me, I'm not a criminal, or a bad kid, in fact most teachers like me, I'm calm and quiet and usually get my work done. I'm not a bad kid.


Ugh, when I first came to your class I thought you were awesome, kids walk in and out of your class, and you joke with them. You keep chips in your office, and people will walk in, start eating them, and listen to music or watch us. I think it's awesome when teachers are like that, they could act all high and might and like they're better than us, which I guess they are in a sense. You're in charge of us aren't you? But you choose to act childish. Anyone who is like this wins my respect immediately, and I'm sorry to say you're the first exception ever. Teachers can be kinda mean to me, but if they're like that, it makes me forgive them because they're generally a good person. You are too, but you're really mean to me. I get that's your personality, but take it down a notch. Don't publicly humiliate me, and don't glare at me through the whole time. I'm sorry I suck at your subject, but it's really hard for me. You glaring disapprovingly doesn't exactly help either.
From, that one student that you really don't like.

Dear Jacob,

You untie my shoes, take off my glasses, put my hood up, and take the bookmarks out of my books. Until today, it didn't bother me.
You said I should wear my hair up in a ponytail. I asked why, assuming it was because I very rarely wear my hair up. Yet no, you say "Because you'll look funny and I can laugh at you." We are in _th grade, Jacob, you know better than this. I thought you were smart.

All this time you said you're just playing around, that it was fun to mess with me. After that awkward week where we somewhat liked each other, I thought we really could be friends. But no. I don't even want that anymore.

What you do to me may not seem like much, but it drives me a little bit more insane every day. I am a female, Jacob. I know I will be catcalled and poked at like this my entire life. And I don't need you to start it for me now.

I am not afraid to take this up with Mr Kong.

Sara was right, I do think you just get off girls liking you.

With all due respect,
A.

Dearest Grace,
You are a ring collecter. You pick out the perfect ring and wear it for a while, then you get bored of it and toss it in the trash. I am done being your stupid ring. I'm not going to be your latest victim. I know the trend is that you toss 'em away and they come crawling back. Not happening with me. Besides we may have been impossibly close, but I'm now seeing that you are a jerk and cruel to other kids. Please stop gossiping. I can't trsut you not to gossip about me so I can't cut the ties yet. But I'm done with your cruel attude.

Sincerely,
The girl you made emptional ties to then tossed away

hey you,
well, i guess you're my boyfriend now, so maybe i should start this out with something different:

dear boyfriend,

man, i have to get used to saying that. i've never had a boyfriend before, nor was i really looking for one. but, as long as we take it slow like we have been, then i'm okay with being your girlfriend. there are a few things you should know though... first of all, you don't own me. i know you probably think that's the most obvious statement of all. 'yeah, of course i don't own you. i know.' or maybe you don't. when i say that, i expect to be my own person. i'm not bending to you or changing for you. i'm being myself and i expect for you to stay the same. don't change. just because we're "bf-gf" doesn't mean our relationship has to change at all. don't get possessive over me or clingy in anyway. i have friends who are boys and i intend to keep them my friends. i hug people i know, i'm not going to stop because you dislike it. you're special, i've already told you why, but maybe you need a refresher: several boys asked me out before you. it's not like i rejected all of them, the dates just never worked out. so, when you asked me out and i accepted, you were my first date. and my first boy. so deal with it.
whenever you talk about me or us, you make me melt. i honestly don't think you mean to do that..the words you say just come straight from your heart out your mouth. you thought it was weird that your entire family thought i was your girlfriend when i wasn't and you wanted me to be. you want to hold my hand. you want to get to know me better... if i compare you to the other fellas who have tried to win my affections, you are miles above them.
lastly, please don't disappoint me. you're something i never expected. you're wonderful. i will try my best not to disappoint you, but i feel like no matter how hard i try, i will one day.

with love,

tang <3

Dear school,
I seriously don't want to go in tomorrow. Why don't you just space the exams out more? It's so depressing having to go in for two AS mock exams the same day ;p
How am I supposed to do my best if I'm tired by the time I have my History exam? ono
~Clara

Dear R,
I know you're supposed to be one of my best friends and everything but sometimes you can be really annoying. I used to like having a minion-like friend but I've realised that it's nicer to have friends who actually have their own opinions and don't just agree with everything you say.
Almost every time I talk to you I end up b**ching about people and I always feel really awful afterwards because believe it or not, I do have a conscience; I really don't want to be like this anymore.
I know this sounds bad but I'm so glad we don't go the same school anymore.
Honestly though, you're not someone I can talk to when I'm upset or I have a crush on a boy, because I know you won't understand and you'll just take the mick out of me.
~Clara

Dear cancer,

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you! You have destroyed my life and you have destroyed who I am. I can't go a day without crying because of you. You have taken away my indepence, my hair, the ability to play sports, and to run, and to climb ... You have taken away all control I have over my life. You have made my parents file a divorce. You have made me feel PAIN everyday, whether it be nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, or stomach pain. You've forced me to endure countless painful surgeries. My sense of freedom has been taken away because of you - even if I am cured, I will forever be chained down because you could return at any moment.

And most of all, you've destroyed me.

~ No love,
mooo.

D,
I think you like me a little too much. You openly admire my body now. Don't get me wrong I love the attention but I am trying to salvage my own relationship. The fact that I enjoy you and H's company more sometimes doesn't help. Your flirting doesn't help. It makes me long for the freedom I used to have when I was single. I had fun. Fun and love are very different it seems. I love A, I really do, it's just easier to have fun with you.
~ icicle1107

________,
When they are around it's all about them. I can't be there when they are because I feel like they look down at me. And I can't let myself adopt that look in order to talk to them or you (when they are around). So I avoid them and that makes being friends with you that much harder. You say you miss me. Well that's why I am never around. Not because of A, because of them.
