"Friends are flowers in the garden of life"


People are mean,
They stare,
They laugh,
They pretend,
They're scared.

People need to be more educated,

Of hurtful words,
Of the threats,
Of the affects of rumors,
Of bullying.

People don't understand the power of words and bullying.

We all know what bullying is.
We all learned about people affected by it.

Attempting suicide,
Getting frustrated and cutting themselves,
Of Going crazy,
Dying,

All from bullying.

My question is why?

Why is there still bullying?
Why haven't they learned?

People are hurting
Yet people keep hurting

What can I do?

Real question is what can we do and not say?

Bullying hurts a lot,
It's time for it to stop.


The author's comments:
This piece was inspired by a friend who was bullied a lot and committed suicide. I hope people learn from reading this to stop and think before they say or do something mean even if they don't mean it. Bullying effects a lot of people. Too many people, and it needs to stop.
