Hi Angelic,
Are they laughing at me?
Probably not. It's normal when you hear a group of people laughing to think that they are laughing at you, as long as you don't feel that way all the time. I get that feeling once-in-a-while.
It's kind of group psychology... they're inside and you feel like you're on the outside. When this happens, you should just assume it's
not about you because it probably isn't.
So, what are the chances that anybody seen what was in them?
The chances that anyone went to the trouble of looking into the dumpster, saw your letters, pulled them out and read them is slim to none. It's too much trouble.
Most people are not interested in what's in the trash unless they're looking for something, like food, things that people throw out that may have some value or something they might be able to use themselves. They're not interested in your letters. They're probably more embarrassed and afraid to be seen rummaging thru the trash.
As long as your name isn't on the letters, it really doesn't matter. Let them laugh. If they think anything in your personal papers is funny, then they are low-lives and you should feel sorry for them.
Of course, if you're a celebrity, my answer would be completely different.
P.S. You may want to buy a paper shredder if your dad doesn't have one. There's all sorts of personal papers like bank statements that you should be shredding. I have one and use it all the time. They're pretty cheap.
