as we grow up, we learn that even
the one person that wasn't supposed to let us down probably
will.
you'll have your heart broken, probably
more than once, & it'll hurt more every
time.
you'll break
hearts too, so remember how it feels wen someone breaks
yours.
you'll fight with your best friend &
maybe even fall in love with
them.
you'll blame a
new love for things an old one did to
you.
you'll cry because time is passing to fast
& you'll lose someone close to
you.
I actually wrote this in 5th grade as a persuasive essay, teachers were highly impressed and asked me to read this at my 5th grade graduation ceremony, then it was published in the newspaper!
Bullying has become very popular and a big issue
throughout the country and I feel as though it needs to stop! I
would like to make a huge change and do whatever it takes to have
this nonsense stopped! If we help stop
bullying, it could change lives. Many people may
realize what kind of pain they are causing to others, but until
someone steps up to confront these people about their actions,
they appear to be untouchable. People have actually killed
themselves because of the insane bullying going
on. How bad do you think these bullies
feel? Some of them actually care about what they've done
and are disgusted to think that they caused something so horrific
like that and have guilt for the rest of their lives. Other are
selfish and have convinced themselves that they've done
nothing wrong. I myself have been in this situation on both
sides, being bullied and
bullying someone else. It's not a great
feeling to have and there's no point, which is why I want to
change this! I think we need to find a way to show these
kids what they've done and what damage they have
caused. Most bullying starts out in middle
school when people find more and more insecurities about
themselves and decide to take it out on others to make those
insecurities go away, and to make them feel better about
themselves. I think there should be more people in schools that
will actually help them, report child bullying issues, and
support them through it, and not just sit there thinking that
these kind of issues are going to go away. Lately, since the
suicides of some children around the country, people are finally
deciding to take action and do something about bullying.
There's a new law that states bullying is
officially illegal! It is distracting in school, and affects
people trying to achieve the high academic standards that they
should have. You don't have to like everyone, but you should
at least try to be nice, and if you don't like a person, then
just stay out of their way; it's quite simple. As you can
see, there are many reasons why bullying is an issue, why we need
to stop it, and what we can do to stop it. I want a
bully-free community and I don't want to go
to school thinking who might bully me, or who is
going to get bullied today. That's not my
goal, and it shouldn't be anyone's goal. This should
become much more public so something actually gets done about
this. Will you join to help?
