Letter: School safety

0

Editor,

Hello. I noticed a couple of weeks ago you guys made the headline story about the safety of the Hamilton Southeastern Schools. Well, I used to be a student there. I guess I should explain. You see, I was bullied for seven years while at the school. Kids would bully me and call me “gay” for my interest in music and the fact that I like to sing. It got so bad that I even thought some really dark thoughts. And my family and I approached the school district many times, but they rarely did anything about it.

But the worst part is that I’m not the only one! When I left, I knew dozens of kids that were excessively bullied. The reason I wrote this letter is because I hope to get some closure and have my voice heard. So just know that things may look nice on the outside, but on the inside it ca be very dirty.
