You see her?
Yeah, the one sitting quietly at the table.
That's the one, the one with reddish hair.

Do you see the amount of make up she's wearing?
A lot of eyeliner isn't it?
She wears it because you made fun of her in year 8 for not wearing make up when she was simply listening to the school rules.
Now, she feels like she needs make up to look beautiful.
That's right. This is because of you.

Do you see the clothes she's wearing?
Black jeans, studs, nothing you would call "fashionable"
Well, when she tried those sorts of clothes, all you did was laugh and ridicule her and made her feel intimidated.
Now she feels more comfortable wearing black clothes since she doesn't want to show her fashionable side.
That's right. This is because of you.

Have you noticed how shy she is?
That she never starts a conversation with anybody unless she's spoken too
That's because when she did her performance in drama class and really tried hard, all you did was laugh at her and bring her down.
Now she won't go on stage in front of anyone and finds it hard to make friends.
That's right. This is because of you.

Can you hear the music she's listening to?
Have you noticed that she prefers listening to different music from you?
That's because when you bullied and tortured her, her life became a living hell so started listening to music that helped her with her anger, sadness and pain.
Although she enjoys that sort of music, she now has to put it in all the time to try and escape.
That's right. This is because of you.

Do you remember that time when you ruined her last day of School before the Christmas holidays?
When you thought that she was laughing at you when really, she was just having a laugh with her friends?
So you pushed her down, called her names and accused her of bullying when it was you who was tormenting her.
Now she is scared of anything like that happening again. And when she looks back on that day, begins to cry.
That's right. This is because of you.

Notice the scars on both her wrists?
That was because of you bullying, harassing, threatening and bringing her down every day of her life.
Now she tries to hide them with gloves because after two years, they still haven't gone away.
They are there to constantly remind her of the pain she went through.
That's right. This is because of you.

So you know that girl there?
Yeah, you know her already.
Her self esteem has almost gone.
She feels paranoid and intimidated whenever she goes out.
And although she is making a new start in College in September she feels that she still finds it hard to make friends and would probably shy away on the first day.
She is physically and mentally scarred for life.

I hope you know what you've done and put her through
Because all of this is BECAUSE OF YOU.
