Dear High School,

The Friend I Wish Was Here

There are some people who come into our lives and leave footprints that time can never erase. You were one of those people.

Sometimes, I find myself remembering the little moments we shared, the laughter, the jokes, the random conversations, and even those moments when we had nothing important to say but still enjoyed each other's company.

I sometimes wish I could turn back the hands of time, just for a moment, to relive those beautiful memories. I miss the way we could talk about anything, laugh over nothing, and make ordinary days feel special.

Life has taken us through different paths, and perhaps distance, time, and circumstances have changed a few things. But one thing remains unchanged: the beautiful memories I carry in my heart.

I don't know when we will have another opportunity to sit together, laugh like old times, and catch up on everything we've missed. But until that day comes, I hope life is treating you kindly.

Some friends are not just people we meet; they become beautiful chapters in our lives. And no matter how far apart we are, some chapters are simply impossible to forget.

I miss you, my friend. ❤️

Dear High School,

MY LIFE EXPERIENCE

When I was younger, I experienced bullying from some of my classmates. They often made fun of me, laughed at my appearance, and sometimes called me hurtful names. I felt sad and lonely because I did not understand why they treated me that way.

At first, I kept everything to myself because I was afraid of making things worse. However, as time went on, I realised that bullying was not my fault. I became more confident, focused on my studies, and learned to stand up for myself.

That experience taught me to be strong, believe in myself, and treat others with kindness and respect. Today, I understand that nobody deserves to be bullied, regardless of their appearance, background, or abilities.

My lesson: Bullying can hurt someone’s feelings, but it should never determine their worth or future.
