Dear Abusers:

  

Hello there, the devil. How are you doing? I hope you received the punishment you deserved. I still live in fear because of you, I remember everything you did to me, and I despise you. You don't need to know who I am; I'm just one victim of your bullying.

 

You're probably wondering why I'm writing to you. I'm not here to curse you, but I'll never forgive you for the horrible things you've done to me. Until now, I wake up every night thinking about those experiences and weeping bitterly in my sleep. But you are still alive and well, God is so unfair, why do we victims need to suffer all this pain?

 

The reason I am writing this letter is that I want myself to stop being afraid of you, to stop living every day in unhappiness over the awful things you had done to me, and I want to start living again. Therefore, I also want you to stop hurting anyone. They are just as scared and helpless as you and I are, who have been relentlessly abused, beaten, and intimidated. I know that you abusers enjoy it when your victims are scared and helpless and begging for mercy. You derive pleasure and a sense of existence from it. But I know that you also behave in this way because you have had bad experiences. You have been ignored, looked down upon, and disregarded by important people, so you lack love and need to do something to win everyone's attention. Am I right? But these are not excuses for being able to bully others. Every person you bully they are not a non-living being, they have emotions, they feel pain, and why they must suffer such pain and fate. They also have someone they love dearly and someone who loves them too. You, because of your cruelty, and your heartlessness, have destroyed the happy and beautiful life they had. You are great and successful as they will never forget the things you did to them in their lifetime. Wouldn’t you feel heartbroken that someone you love was bullied and picked on or even killed themselves? Wouldn't it make you happy if you had children in the future and your child was afraid to tell you about the bullying at school just because it was threatened by the bully and it was the best thing you always did to us?

 

Those are the words I want to say to you, I really wish you would stop hurting anyone. They're not hurting you; they're just trying to make a good life. I also wish I would be able to get over what you did to me and live a good life myself. I don't want to have any more dealings with you in the future.

Never seen again,

one of the victims.
