Some people thought that the letter was real because it talked about some serious topics like bullying and suicide, and they wanted to believe that someone brave enough had written it. However, some experts found out that the letter had actually been created by someone who wanted to create a hoax, which means to trick people into thinking something is true when it isn't.
