Is It Funny Now?
That girl you were picking on yesterday for being slower than the rest,
she's told she's not good enough.
The boy you called a fruit loop, a f**, is hated by his family for being
something that he has no control over.
That girl you called fat, has an eating disorder.
She stares at herself in the mirror every night, thinking she is disgusting
because her bones don’t jut out.
That girl you called a s**t, for being sexually assulted, that she was asking for it,
she cuts herself every night because all she can see when she closes her eyes is the man who violated her, feel his breath on her neck as he called her a w****, feels his hands on her as she shakes in fear.
That boy you hit gets abused at home by his parents.
That human you just mentally, verbally and physically assaulted, just learned too
love themselves for who they are and now they are back to square one.
That girl you just catcalled and groped on the street, gets molested by someone close too her. So you think it's funny to do these things too people?
Every single one, has committed suicide.
They did so because they couldn’t handle going through the pain of never fitting
the boxes that people create for them.
They commit suicide because they don’t want too live in a world where no one will
listen, no one will hear their cries for help.
So is it still funny? That you're the reason someone has killed themselves?
We lose too many people that could have done something great too this world,
all because someone thought it was funny to bully them.
It is not funny. Everyday someone commits suicide because they are bullied
and everyday that suicide rate climbs higher and higher and soon we would
be able to climb too the moon if those rates were stairs.
Every day, someone loses, a daughter, a son, a mother, a father, a brother or a sister.
Now think. What if that was you who was committing suicide?
What if it was your sister or daughter or someone you loved with all your heart,
that killed themselves?
All because someone was harassing them, bullying them, assaulting them.
And what have you done? You laughed because you thought it was funny.
You didn’t know they would do that, but then again you don’t know what
someone is going through.
Some have battles, some have wars, and some have tens of thousands of wars
going on in their head.
But you don’t know that, no one does unless you listen to what someone has to say.
That is why so many good people are taken from us. Because no one wanted to hear them.
And that is all of our faults. Because we are so wrapped up in ourselves, we don’t pay
attention to what someone needs to say, that they decide, the only way anyone will hear them, is by suicide.
So tell me, is it funny now?
