Dear Taylor

Taylor,

Don't hate yourself.,. All the stuff they say is complete and utter rubbish- anyone with eyes and a brain can tell you're special and beautiful.

I'm disgusted. Your so called friends are vile pigs that need to be taught a lesson. I hope you still don't feel that way and I wish I could give you hugs right now but I can't.

I guess I'm not the best friend you've ever had because I can't do much to comfort you but rest assured when we finally meet I am going to hug you so hard you might no even be able to breathe.

Life with me isn't much at the moment: no shoots so just school where I'm trying to focus on my dancing and not failing. All I can think about is you and how I wish I could help you... Please stay strong my love.

I have a dance exam at the weekend, followed by a recital with my class so I apologise if my next reply is later than usual but I will reply. I'm nervous but it should go okay- my teacher is hoping I pass with a distinction. I'm hoping I pass if I'm honest...

Taylor, please tell someone apart from me. I can't help you from where I am which breaks my heart but if you tell someone they can stop this. Make some friends that value you for who you are. This isn't who you are babe: you're strong, beautiful and clever and if anyone says otherwise you need to ignore them or punch the hell out of them.

I'm aware I'm bad at advice but I've never been in your situation. Maybe you could ask your mom if we could meet... I'll ask mine,

Stay strong love,

Your best friend,
Karlie
