Hi there
Thanks for your letter. It sounds like you might be worried about your mum finding out that you have written a letter and would like to feel you can trust me. Just to let you know, I will not give out any of your personal details to anyone.
I can see from what you say that others at school are bullying you and you feel this is because of being dyslexic. I also hear that having dyslexia makes you feel different and wonder if you are getting some support with that in school. We all have different skills and qualities and we should all be allowed to be who we are, without being judged by others.
The way that others are treating you at school is very wrong; they are mean to you and are bullying you. You need to feel safe and happy. It seems like you might have already told a teacher and feel that, if you tell again, things could get worse. I understand what makes you feel this way but if the teachers do not hear from you, they might think the bullying has stopped and you could still be suffering in silence. That would be really unfair for you.
How would you feel about talking to a teacher again or another trusted adult like a relative? It seems that you might not want your mum to know. If you feel unable to do this how about talking to a ChildLine counsellor? You can ring for free on 0800 1111, or you could sign up and talk 1-2-1 with a counsellor online.
I was worried when I read that your mum hits you. It is never right for an adult to harm a young person in any way. This sounds like a very difficult situation for you. If you ever feel in immediate danger, you should ring 999 to get some help from the police. It seems like you are worried that if you tell, you might be placed into care but social services work to keep families together and might be able to offer you and your mum some support.
I do hope that when you are ready, you get in touch with a ChildLine counsellor. They will listen to you, help you talk through your options and find a way to make your situation better.
Take Care
Sam
