To the girl who said that I ruined her whole High School career,
I went throughout high school trying to make it the best experience for myself, my friends, and my classmates. I even ran for student council three different times and won each of those elections. I planned and made events to the best of my ability so that everyone could enjoy them. But it was not just about those school events, it was everyday. You took my friendliness, my humor, and my willingness to make friends and you made it seem that I was the bad person because I was trying to make the awkwardness and uneasiness go away?
I was always taught to be the bigger person in every situation and when I tried to make up for God knows what, you still went out of your way and told the whole social media world that I “ruined your high school career.” I went out of my way to ask what I did wrong and you could not put it on specific things but mainly blamed me for your at home conflicts. I’m sorry that things weren’t bad at home and I wish they went away, but it doesn’t give you any reason why you should make me feel like the bad person. After me trying to be civil, you still wouldn’t open your arms. So, yes I did not invite you over to my house for the last day of school because after these past 4 years, I thought that you did not want to be around me. I just want to know, what could have I done for you.
This is me, writing a letter to you that you’ll never see because I am done. I am done trying; to argue with someone who won’t be big enough to tell me that I am not the problem. But yet I have and am still thinking about you and apologizing for something that I don’t know what I did. It doesn’t hurt to say sorry.

This note is to a girl from my high school who never fit in right, she was very pretty, had good intentions, was smart but yet she didn’t seem to come across anyone in my friend group right. She lied many times when we all knew the truth, she judged us many times, making myself and others very uncomfortable. I could go on but what is the worth? I tried to see what was going on and what was making her do things like this. But I realized that you can’t make someone change, they have to work for it themselves. So, that being said, I always put others before me, but sometimes you have to think of yourself because those who put you down, bring you with them.
I loved my friends from high school, a lot of them do go to UD. The picture above is my senior year grade and yes the girl who I wrote the note to is in it.
I liked how your letter contained an aspect of mystery in it. It kept me wondering who this person was and what did they possibly do wrong. Adding the clarification at the end is what really tied the writing together. Now that I look back ones high school “career” does not really mean much and people took things way to seriously.

I really liked your letter. I felt like this was a good assignment for you specifically. You were able to get something off of your chest in a group environment that cannot judge you because they have no knowledge on who this person is. I can tell when you’re writing how frustrated this girl made you feel. You conveyed your thoughts in your writing very well. I appreciated that you added in the last paragraph to give insight into who you were talking about and why you wrote the note that you did. It gave a clear explanation and allowed me to connect further with your writing.

I wrote a little bit about this in my letter, but at a much younger age. People really show their true colors as they get older, and obviously this person took advantage of you and your friends by using her social status (or lack of) against you. Im sorry she took turned your humor and willingness to make new friends against you, because i had felt the same way. But, once you remember that the only people you need is the people who see the real you, you forget about all the people trying to bring you down.

Your story caught my eye because I recognized your gymnasium. Sorry that some of your high school experience was clouded by the negativity of that girl. I like how you spoke very calmly and it added power to your statements. I appreciated the last paragraph where you summarized the girl so we could get a good image of her. By your description, it’s safe for me to say my high school had one of these girls too. Your writing was very well spoken, good work.
