Hi there and thanks for your letter.
It seems as though things are really difficult for you at the moment and I want you to know that it’s wrong that you are being treated this way. No one has the right to call you names or to make you feel sad and scared.
You say that you know that you should have told someone but were too afraid of what they might say. Well it’s never too late and if there is someone that you can tell, perhaps an adult that you trust, then they should listen to you and help you to get the support that you need to stop this from happening.
Bullying can be very upsetting and it’s understandable that you are feeling sad. It may seem difficult to try to talk to someone about what’s happening, but you have been very brave talking to me about this. You don’t have to deal with this on your own. Talking to someone that you trust might help you to come up with a plan to help stop the bullying. Perhaps you could talk to a parent/carer, another relative or a teacher in school. You might also want to think about the way that your boyfriend is treating you and maybe talk to him about how he is making you feel.
If you need to talk you can also contact a ChildLine counsellor, they are here to listen and to support you. There is also some really helpful information about Bullying in Explore which you could look at before talking to a counsellor.
Take care,
Sam
