Stand up to bullying
I saw a girl
 wearing braids in her hair.
 Girls were mean to her;
 they weren't being fair.
 
 They tugged and pulled
 'til the hair tie came loose.
 When I asked them why,
 they had no excuse.
 
 One girl said it was
 a fun way to pass her time.
 They were acting as if
 bullying wasn't a crime.
 
 So I marched my butt
 up to a trusted adult.
 I told him "She is crying,
 and it's all their fault!"
 
 He looked in my eyes
 and said "That's Life.
 Not everyone acts
 as mature and nice."
 
 I said back,
 "That makes me sick!
 Now those girls have begun,
 to punch and kick!"
 
 If he was going to sit
 and just do nothing,
 I was going to find someone,
 who WOULD do something.
 
 It was not fair of them,
 to treat her that way!
 I had an idea.
 Those bullies would pay!
 
 I now knew who to tell.
 I should have sooner.
 Their bullying days
 would soon be over.
 
 The man I was about to tell
 would be more than just mad.
 For, I was going to go tell 
 their very own dad!
 
 Though that girl never
 wore braids in her hair again,
 her smile was bigger
 than it ever had been.
 
 When you see a person acting mean,
 give someone a shout,
 and tell them there
 is a bully about!
 
 If that person finds bullying 
 to be no big stress,
 then keep on telling others,
 'til the bullying is put to rest!
