On the bus ride home one day, a couple of boys were making fun of me, calling me names. I tried to fight back, but I was too busy trying not to cry. But before she left, this girl who always hangs with them gave me a note saying “don’t listen to them, you are beautiful.” I felt so happy. Nobody bullied me anymore. Helen, thank you,you give me hope.

Last month was my Homecoming Dance. At the dance, I saw one of the less popular girls dancing alone. She looked amazing, but apparently no one else saw that. So I took my group, walked over to her, and told her she looked amazing and if she wanted to dance with us. She said it was the best night ever. My friend’s willingness to join me GMH.

A few months ago she told me that she has been raped twice, cut her wrists repeatedly, and has an abusive father. Everyday she has a smile on he face and I can’t believe the amount of strength she has. B.A.L. You Give Me endless Hope.

A few days ago, I went to a coffee shop with a couple of friends. As I was leaving the counter, the lady behind me handed me five dollars. I tried to give it back and she said, “I know people have bad days. So I want to make people happy.” Thank you, not for the money, but for what you said. You made my day. People like you GMH
