Little Girl’s Letter To Santa Leaves People Heartbroken
Writing letters to Santa is a tradition many kids enjoy, but it’s also fun for parents! Getting to see what your children are wanting for Christmas is cute and exciting, and it’s also a way to make shopping for the big day a little easier.
However, one mom was left heartbroken after reading her 8-year-old daughter’s letter to Santa.
Suzy Boliver shared the letter on TikTok, saying her “heart sank” when she read it.
Once you see the letter for yourself, you’ll understand why. The young girl’s Christmas list started with typical items a kid might want, like Squishmallows and some expensive electronics.
But at the bottom of the list, the young girl asked for “more friends” and “less bullying for me.”
It was absolutely heartbreaking to read, and thousands of people commented in agreement. “I teach elementary school. This breaks my heart,” one person commented. “Makes my heart ache,” another added.
Several people volunteer to send the girl Christmas cards, gifts, and friendship bracelets, while others offered to be penpals.
You can see her list for yourself in the video below:
@thebolivers I wasn’t going to post this, but you know what.. this is being 8 yrs old in 2022 and maybe we should be talking about it..
While 8 might seem a bit young for bullying, the truth is that the hurtful behavior can start anytime. According to StopBullying.gov, bullying affects all youth and its effects can carry into adulthood.
If bullying is happening at school, it’s imperative to collaborate with teachers and school staff to resolve the issue. You can find more resources for helping prevent and mitigate the effects of bullying at StopBullying.gov.
