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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
