To The One Being Bullied

Dear Bully Victim,

You may have asked yourself what you you did to deserve this. What did you do to generate so much hatred? What's wrong with you that someone does not like you so much that they goes out of their way to harm you? Nothing.

As difficult as it is to ignore a bully, it is the best option. As much as you want to combat their nasty comment about your outfit, bite your tongue. It will only take the situation to the next level. I know you don't want to be a tattle tale, or a rat, and you just want all of the issues and this person to go away and leave you alone, but they won't until you seek help. You're strong, but you can only take so much. Everyone can only take so much abuse. This is why it's important not to retaliate. The moment you do, you're guilty too and karma will come right back at you.

You know you're a better person than this bully. You know that they bring out the worst in you. My best advice is to block them on all social media. Virtually remove them from your life. You will no longer have to see the passive aggressive Instagram captions, the subtweets claiming how annoying you are, the malicious text messages. You know it's all stupid, but you know it gets to you. It would get to anyone.

Never forget that this bully has chosen you because you threaten them. A bully shows their insecurities, and they are most likely the very same things they pick on you for. They know you're the better person. You probably didn't worship them like they wanted you to. You didn't give them the attention they craved. And that's what did you in. But this is not something you should regret.

You should never fight to be friends with someone. It should come naturally. You shouldn't feel forced to be friends with someone who makes you second guess yourself; who makes you doubt the things you love; who makes you feel silly or inferior for being who you are; who puts you down to build herself or himself up. You are better than this.

It's hard to understand a bully. So, don't waste your time trying to. Shut them down. Shut them out of your life. Never let on that they bother you. Once you do, they have won and gotten exactly what they wanted. You have your own life to live. Don't let someone pathetic enough to be cruel ruin yours.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
