Dear guy in my class,
Sorry I was staring at you, and probably creeping you out. It's just you were reading. Once second I was glance at you, and the next I was drowning in a pool of nostalgia and couldn't breathe. I used to be exactly like you, an overachiever who loved reading. But what am I now? I'm just a kid with no extra circulars, and who failed a science test. I failed it. Before this year I had never even got lower than around 75%. How did I fall so far so fast? I gave up at school, and my ambitions of going to a nice school just faded. I don't know what I want to do with my life, I don't know where I want to go to college. I don't know if I like the overachiever better, but even if I do there's no going back now. I'm trying to find myself, but it's hard. I've never found "my thing" nothing that felt perfect anyway. I don't know what in good at, school, but that doesn't mean I like it. I hate studying and work but it's the only thing I'm really good at.
Sorry this turned out rantish, I'm not weird, and I don't have a random huge crush on you.
Love, that girl.

Dear H,
Stop being such a butt. I used to like you a lot but lately (since you got your braces off) you have become more and more douche-y. I don't know who you think you are but I don't like this you. You are not better than me. So DO NOT act like you are.
Get over yourself,
~icicle1107

Dear N,
sorry I was a bad girlfriend. But I am not sorry that we broke up, because your habits greatly annoy me. Please put down your phone, talk to the people around you, and please stop raising your voice... It intimidates timid people like me. You are so loud sometimes. You changed a lot since we met, which is why I decided to end the relationship. It got too rocky and you wouldn't talk because you were on your phone or too engrossed in the TV.
Also, do be careful with what you say. Many people are angry at you because you seem ignorant about, well, everything...
That's all for now.
B.

Dear ---,
That isn't how of works. Will I follow rabbit trails if you just have me study a certain subject? There's no true answer to that, and you ought to know. Oh yes, I'll study genetics or dinosaurs or the like for as long as possible, but wars? World war one, or the civil war, things like that? I've never had a head for dates or history, so making me study that is basically an attempt to make me learn as little as I can. You know I procrastinate it to the point of pulling an all-nighter, and making me give you a rough draft isn't going to remedy that. You know just how much I loathe this topic, but when I bring up something I found while studying that seemed interesting you just gave me a weird look. What's the point of doing what you want me to do if you aren't going to react nicely? Why? You're forcing me to read about world war one, I gave you a little fact about a different,
loosely related thing, it isn't like I did an entire ten-page report on it. If you want me to follow the rabbit trails then don't get annoyed when I do just that. You want me to learn? Great, I'll be happy to, just as soon you stop making me do the same things over and over again and never teach me anything I'm interested in. I know how to do so-and-so in math, whoop-de-do, fan-freaking-tastic. Now let me study something I want to study instead of forcing more history into my brain. You said it yourself- not every kid at so-and-so age is ready for so-and-so subject. Listen York yourself for once.
Signed,
A very irritated student.

Dear Father,

Boy do I miss you. Sure you were a bad guy under the influence of unnameable substances and many other things I am not allowed to say on CS, and sure your road rages gave me panic attacks and hyperventilation, but that wasn't you. It was those little multi-colored demons you digested and inhaled. You've been in jail for over a year now. I remember the letter you sent me about you wearing your glasses again, working out and gaining back all that weight you lost back when you were starving yourself for bad stuff, and how you're even growing out that ginger hair of yours for dreadlocks. All of that sounds silly to me, but I'm dying to see what you really look like now.

I am sorry I was never able to reply to any of your letters. My mother wouldn't let me because if I called you dad it could be used against her. And I know you would because you have threatened it before. But despite how short of a time you've been a real father to me making pancakes every Sunday morning and playing video games with me those few years of my life, I still hold those times dear. But I can't handle all the screaming and fighting and throwing stuff so at the same time of missing you, I deeply fear you.

My mother doesn't love you anymore. She's moved on to many other men. One I had to move into this past summer. And if you knew all the bad things he did to me, I don't think you'd let him see the light of day when you escape that prison. He's good as gone then. I just hope you don't lash out on my mother for her decision in life. You've left her too plenty of times and she hasn't had this freedom of dating in over 20 years. She is finally finding happiness.

And I hope you can forgive me for never answering your calls. I still cry about the one I missed on fathers day. I was too scared despite you calling several times. I just knew you'd ask for my mom instead of caring for me. I remember all those bad things you used to call me whenever I would annoy you when I spoke too fast from being nervous.

I just want the old you back, but I also hope you move on in life. I don't want you around my future children, and I don't want you messing with my mother and ruining her life again. Please, just understand what all has happened, and don't hurt me. Please don't hurt me.

Dear friends;
Just what should I do...
I don't know if I'm showing my true "self" to you...
I've been wearing a mask for so long that I don't really remember if this is how I was supposed to be...

However...I do know one thing...
And it's that I'm not a good person...
Not at all...

I'm sorry about that...

Please forgive me

Dear ____,
You are probably the first person in my life that I have ever hated.
I know you hate me too, but at least I don't constantly get in your face about how me and my best friends are 'sisters' and constantly make you jealous. When my one good friend said how you were actually a good friend, I was completely flabbergasted. Mainly because all you have ever shown to me these past months was hatred, and trying to make me jealous. Sometimes I wonder why you hate me so much. I know you find me annoying, and I'm apparently trying to 'steal' _____ and _______ away from you, but they aren't just your friends, their mine too. I also hate I can't talk to _____ without you barging in and either dragging her away, or insulting me. I never get a chance to just talk with her, because you are always there to ruin it. Another thing, why on earth did you push me? You acted like it was on accident, but I'm not stupid, you obviously just wanted to push me so you could express your hate to me even more. Also, you were saying I was distracting _____ from her work, so I stopped talking, but as soon as she came back, you started chatting with her about stuff completely unrelated to the work we were doing.
Don't play dumb with me, you say you don't hate me, but I know your just a coward. I want you to say it to my face, and not tell _____ everything you hate about me. I hope you know that _____ has been telling me about it anyways. I am so glad that in less then a year, I will almost never see you.

Dear M,

Sometimes I feel like you're the only person who understands me when I'm there.

Sincerely,
