Dear Charlie,
I am pleased that you decided to write me. I think it always helps to write about life when you find it overwhelming. I am truly sorry about the death of your friend, Michael, but I hope you can grow from this situation. I know that it may be difficult to clearly convey your emotions through a letter. Trust that I will do my best to understand the situations you are dealing with in your life.
To me it seems as though you get along well with your siblings. Your descriptions of them are limited and simple, and I would love to hear more about them. The same thing goes for your parents. In regards to your Aunt Helen, sometimes its best to not know certain things. It's likely your parents had a good reason for not telling you about her problem. It's also possible for parents to try to protect their children too much. All you can do in those situations is wait it out and hope that one day they realize.
You mentioned that you wrote this letter because of your fear of starting high school tomorrow. Charlie, high school affects your life in so many ways, so take it seriously. During this time of change, don't let yourself forget the things important to you like your family. Please continue to write. I am eager to hear how your first days go. Good luck!
