To my beloved parents

To my beloved parents, I am grateful to have you and thank you for raising me and being patient while educating me and my siblings. Actually, I didn't like you guys back then because you were constantly arguing, which I didn't know what was about. I only believed what I heard from my father, and you continue to validate all of that. Do you know that I have been bullied since I was in primary school? But I was okay because I was a kid and I didn't really give a damn about them. When I entered high school, everything was getting harder. They said it's normal for puberty to hit you like a truck, but it's kind of a suck for me. When I was in form 2, do you know what they said? They said, "You're black and it's disgusting. Even if you get married, the next day you will get a divorce. " I felt so sad, but I didn't want to burden you guys with trivial things, but I also have zero confidence in going to school again, and in fact, I hate it. When I didn't go to school because of that, you blamed me without asking me what had happened. But, after you knew what had happened, you came to school and met the principal to settle things down. I still remember when I was 17 years old. I changed schools in the hope all those bullies weren't from the same school in my new school, but there was one person from my previous school. My days are becoming darker once more. On the second day of my new school, the girls picked a fight with me because the person who came from the same school as me previously told them I was bullied. There was one kid who was the principal's nephew, who stole my new spectacles, hung my bag on the whiteboard, and even insulted me by saying, "You must be a bangla." Why am I grateful to have you guys as my parents? My father came to the school and asked the kids to come out of the class, but they were very rude and mocked my father. When I was 19 years old, I started to figure out what was happening between my parents. I started to understand that marriage is not an easy thing. They were fighting over a big matter, which they were trying to hide, so we wouldn't think that we were not a burden. I am sorry for being rebellious because I didn't understand both of you back then. Now that I have grown up so well, I wish nothing more, but you can live longer so I can repay what you have done. Thank you for being so considerate after knowing how social I am and that both of you accepted me without any hesitation. I promise that I will change to be a better person for myself and for both of you. If the next life ever exists, please be my parents again.
Sincerely, You, rebellious daughter.
