Ex 

Dear Shane, 

I just watched your Ted Talk and I really felt... 

I hope... 

All the best, 

Sara 

2. Write a letter to yourself "What would I say to myself when I was being bullied?"

Dear Sara, 

You are such a strong individual, even if you don’t feel like you are. Even though your school peers make you feel bad about yourself, and dread runs through your veins every time you walk through the gates, you still get up every morning and go to school. That is so brave! 

First of all, I think ... 

I also believe... 

Best regards, 

Sara
