Dear Queenie my auntic said that I was bad and her children were not allowed to play with me so i back chatted her, she came back and boxed me around the ears. i am so unhappy everyone is against me i know that my grandmother sticks up for me but she is sad and crying all ofthe time ,so I don’t let her know how bad I feel . I will be ok soon as the big ship is due to sail in I know that my real mum will send me a pretty dress. my grandmother is always asleep when i go to school i get up dress myself i am always late for school my teacher always cane me for being late i have blisters on my hands my teacher didn’t care she doesn’t even look at me when she canes me, it is as if she thinks that i don’t matter, i do matter she makes me feel worthless.. i look in the mirrow and i say out loud i am not worthless. love to you my best friend in the whole wide world. love from dorothyxxx
