Dear Mom...
You know that thing you always told me? "Just ignore them and they'll stop bothering you?" Doesn't work. Just for your own information. I ignored them and they bothered me all the way up to graduation.

I had extra curly hair as a child that my mother always cut very short so it poofed out. I was the afro girl with the glasses and crooked teeth. Not my better years. I wasn't bullied as much as teased, except for Benjamin S., who took enjoyment in insulting me, occasionally threw rocks at me and once punched me for touching something that belonged to him.
My brother had more problems, poor guy. He's schizophrenic, a bit fat due to his medication, and once had a growth removed from his nose that left it looking a little funny. Still, he's the sweetest guy I know, and to all you assholes that beat him up, broke his things and followed him home taunting him: You suck. It's your fault my brother doesn't trust anybody outside the small circle of people he's known all his life. Also, to the teacher to whom my brother reported bullying to and just told him not to be a tattletale: You suck too.
