Welcome to "Dear Bully."
I just joined this forums after not participating actively in story telling since TS3. I used to be active on the old forums as well as Modthesims. I have been casually playing TS4 but started to miss the story telling part of it.
I also feel that I have a story to tell that has been simmering in my head for a while in regards to a topic that concerns a lot of people, including one of my family members.. It's partially co-written by a friend of mine as well. :]
Please note that there's some trigger warnings - you can find these on my blog.
I hope you would like to read my story. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, be it just a friendly word or constructive criticism.
Here we go;

Another update! Click here.
I love the format you have decided to use for this. Bookmarked!
Also, there's so much tension in terms of wanting to find out more that I'm eager to keep reading!
Do you also play The Elder Scrolls Online? You can find me there as CathyTea, too!
@CathyTea Thank you! I do have her write directly to her bully. It was how my sister coped with bullying when she grew up. She didn't tell anyone until years after, which is really sad. Unfortunately I think that is often the case with bullying.
Chapter 3 - click here.
Thank you @mastressalita for your PM! I will add my story asap
So hard to keep up all the stories in our circle! Considering some of them are PRETTY long. Mine is already 35 chapters , not too hard to catch up! If you like story based stories.
YEY This has just started ... will follow this *steps back into the shadows*
Can't wait for the next update.

but i do agree the the chapter lengths are really effective. i like the way its set out
you can feel how sad she is.
and I also love a complex character,you're great at this.
Keep at it!
@cshaner Thank you! I am working on improving my screenshots so I am happy to hear that you like them. It's funny that you should mention avoiding the 'I'm sooo sad" expression because I have been actively working on using other thoughts and actions to reflect her emotions.
@xjojox The next two chapters are a little bit longer - but in no means 'long' - because there's a few more things that need to be included for story progression and it would look choppy if I split it up. It's not too lengthy and only for those two chapters, though. Thank you for reading my story!
@Kelebek You made me smile. I am so glad you like it, and I hope you will continue to read and enjoy it!
@xJojox A fellow rambler haha!
@eowyn great double update!!!
I updated "Dear Bully" again. This and chapter 6 will be a little longer otherwise it would look very choppy - but by no means are they 'long' chapters. I hope you'll like the new update!
Chapter 5

@xJojox I just started it, but it's in my siggy. I'm afraid it's a lot more wordy than Eowyn's story so it doesn't have the same hard hitting impact. But it's been fun to write.
I have another update! You can find chapter 6 here.
@xJojox Funny thing is.. I actually got 10 chapters sitting in drafts, fully edited and ready to go. Just don't want to overwhelm people with publishing spam so I pace it a bit
@cshaner Thank you! I am so happy you like it and I loved the comments on the blog too.
@Juniper Well here's one more! I am going to expand my reading list now that I have more time on my hands, so I'll visit yours and everyone else's soon. Your banner is amazing by the way.
@suzanna13 There's reasons for it, I promise. I am just slowly going into it as time goes on. Thank you for reading!
