Dea^Gigi, ''
I'have been going through a difficult time lately, and I don’t know what to do. I am being taunted by a group of girls who make fun of me for my appearance. They con-
tinjtfdll^insult me and say racial slurs when I pass by them around campus. Everywhere I go, that same group of girls is right there, as if they are just waiting to unleash
^eir terror on me. One day, I went back to my room and found notes slipped under my door. What was written on these notes hurt me so much that I couldn’t get out of
^ed the next day. I feel I am living in my own personal hell, and sometimes I feel anything is better than this life I am living. I don’t know what to do. I fear running into
Bhis group of girls on campus every day. I feel so alone, and I have no one to talk or reach out to. Please help me, Gigi.
Bfigned, When will it get better?
f Dear When will it get better,
I am so sdrr>' that you have had to go through this. I want you to know that you are not alone, and there are people (myself included) here at school who genuinely care
about your safety, comfort and happiness. I know it may be difficult for you to do this, but I strongly encourage you to contact Tomecca Sloane, the director of commuter
life and diversity programs. She is someone who will do what is necessary to help you and will always have your back. I am telling you; as soon as you get this, go straight
to her office in 1st Park Center (or 1st Cate)! Also talk to your RA or RD and let her know what is going on. She will ensure that your safety needs are met. You may find it
hard to believe now, but it will get better. It will. Each day is and will be a struggle, but give yourself tasks to do to cope with what is going on such as painting, watching a
movie, reading a book, homework, calling a friend, going to a campus club or organization meeting. I am going to leave you with these wise words the character
Aibleen said in the book The Help: “You is kind. You is smart. You is important.” If ever you feel down, remember that because I know you are important, you are not
those horrible things those girls have called you or said about you and you never will be.
Hugs, Gigi
