First I want to start this letter off by saying this one will be a little different, and very intense. I do not want any negative comments, hateful comments, or rude comments towards Brent. This letter does include many trigger warnings, so please read what they are before you choose to read this or not.

Dear Boo,

Before you begin judging me let me tell you, I regret myself.

My name's Brent, I'm 16 and a complete arse I'll tell you. I dared my best friend to date a nerd kid and when they broke up I made fun of the poor kid, and now she's dead. *Poof*

Looks like Chloe (RIP) was already being abused at home by her stepfather, physically and mentally. Her stepbrother would rape her EVERY night, and I being the "cool popular kid" at school would make fun of her by calling her a virgin. Yeah, I'm shit.

But are all popular kids shit? No actually! Only I am, only Brent is. I stay in Brazil actually and this place is shit I'll tell you. I lost my best friend (RIP TOMMY) he didn't even tell me what's wrong with him he just killed himself out for the blue. No one even suspected a thing, guess what...that's depression.
‌
‌What Chloe underwent that's depression, what Tom underwent that's depression. It creeps in doesn't make you what to show anyone that's nothings fine with you and finally fucks you up and you die.

You see no one dies a virgin, life fucks us all up.

Why do I need your pity? I don't actually.

I have been labeled the "popular kid" and at the same time "the bully".

But peep in lads! My mother is a chain smoker and she goes around sleeping with other men. My stepdad beats me until I can only feather not move. And when the men whom my mum slept with come around asking for the money, she throws me like a fucking dog and they beat me up for pleasure, that's because she doesn't want to give them money.

Sad? Not really! Think of how people think I'm cold-hearted that I don't love anyone! I do people I do, I have a heart too. I have feelings and my eyes, they cry.

But guess what? I'm too cool to show what I really am on the inside.

A broken fucking ass.

I need help, I desperately need really. My friend Tommy a few hours before he killed himself, we were chilling in our common spot, the football grounds and out of the blue he said "Brent, if I ever died come to funeral don't cry because I won't be there to wipe your tears" and like fucking fool I said "Sure Tom" smacked his back and smiled.

Fucking cunt I am! Didn't take the hint, within few hours he's gone, left me. Now my other friend Alex, he's overdosed and slit his fucking wrists because people called him "popular" and also simultaneously a "bully".

Also special reference and kudos to the kid who called him a "cyber bully" because he asked you to leave him the "fuck" alone.

Sis thanks to you he's battling for his life like it wasn't enough what he was going through in school.

Here's all I want to say, you call other people names, label them and shit but just...don't. Do it all mentally. Because words cut deeper than a fucking knife.

And next time you meet a popular kid at school don't call them a freak or a person with "attitude" smile at them and say "you're amazing" because they are really. And me being popular was the only way I could take my house stress off.

Guess being popular has its own fucking perks.

Dear Brent,

I want to begin by telling you how brave you are coming clean about everything, not only about Chloe but also yourself. Also, I never judge anyone, never. Unless I have personally walked in your shoes I can't and won't judge you or anyone.

You're sixteen, Brent, you're still very young. When you made the mistake with Chloe you were even younger. You didn't know what was going on behind closed doors. It's tragically sad what happened to Chloe. A father and brother are two people who are supposed to protect and save a young girl. But, they failed her. THEY are the reason for her suicide. Yes, it was bad what you did but I don't think that's what pushed her into oblivion. The Brent I know isn't the one you're writing about, you've changed and grown up since then.

Chloe was being abused every way possible – physically, emotionally, and sexually. That alone is heartbreaking. They should be held responsible for her unfortunate death.

At school, and other public places, you put on a mask. You pretend to be "cool Brent" to deal with everything going on at home. Many people do this, so you're not alone. You and I have spoken a lot recently and I have gotten to know you very well. Please believe me when I tell you that this was not your fault. You're not a horrible person. You have a beautiful heart and soul. I do believe people change. Yes, you did make a mistake when you and your friend treated Chloe like that, but we can't change the past, we can only move forward. Chloe doesn't have a future, so you need to love a future for her.

As for Tommy, I can't tell you why he killed himself, only he knew why. Depression and other mental health issues can push you to a point of no return if it isn't managed. Many people hide the fact they deal with it on a daily basis. This is a big part of why I don't hide it. I speak up about mental health to let others know they're not alone. However, sometimes the demons get too intense to deal with. I have a hard time believing that not everyone can be saved because I believe everyone can be saved.

Your parents really treat you horribly. Them beating you is something that should never happen. This world also has demons on the outside. They are an example. Parents who truly love their children will love and protect them with everything in them, no matter what. They don't protect you, instead, they do harm to you.

I honestly believe the safest place is away from your mother and stepfather. But, you're underage and sometimes leaving makes things worse. We spoke last week and you had left for a few days, but your mother made you come back home. Needless to say, the results were very bad. I truly hate how things are for you. I truly wish you could stay with Alex, I know his Mom loves you and protects you as an actual Mom should.

It breaks my heart that Alex felt this was his only choice. He's such a wonderful person. For those reading, I'm also friends with Alex, so this is a situation that touches me personally. When I found out what happened to him all I could do was cry. I hope he comes off the vent within the next couple days. Keep me updated on his progress. As always, tell him I'm praying for him and I love him.

I'm here anytime you need to talk, Brent. You have a good heart and you don't deserve the daily hell you're being put through. I really hope things get better for you. All these negative things you called yourself... please know they're not true. You're a wonderful friend and person. Listen to your heart, inside lies the truth.

Love Always,
Boo
