I Wont Be In School Today
19 July, 2004
Author: Ben Franklin
Not another day!
The bullies are going to be there,
same place,
same time,
no matter how hard I hide,
me,
they always manage to find,
Ive done nothing to them except
be intelligent,
The fact Im a nice person is
irrelevant,
Yesterday they stole my bag,
I suppose they were looking for some money for some fags,
There was no money in it
but still they burnt it,
they take what they want
they never earn it,
Today Ive taken some pills,
Its time to see how
heaven
feels
------- Author's Notes -------
as you know this goes on everday, bullying needs to be stamped out and soon, it can mould you into the person you are today and thats not fair. |

| barb (209.112.24.179) -- Wednesday, July 21 2004, 01:27 am Please don't let them win and by taking pills and doing other stuff to hurt yourself is letting them win. Iii can't give you advice on how to handle it. Just hang in their and next time they want your back pack give it to them don't put up a fight for it maybee they enjoy the trouble , If ou make things easy for them, maybee they'll leave you alone the saying Kill them with kindness might work. you are talented and smart don't let them change you |

| barb (209.112.24.179) -- Wednesday, July 21 2004, 12:30 pm oops misunderstood again. But it nice that someone sees what is going on with others. Nice work see you had me believing, and that's what you want is having people believe your writing. |

| Meridian (205.188.116.200) -- Wednesday, July 21 2004, 08:50 pm Hey old buddy, old pal! "I won't be in school today" reminds me of Oprah, Maury Provich, Montel Williams, Dr. Phill and others, who have programs about bullies.... A lot of people have committed suicide, do to bullying, so they wouldn't face a lot of immature kids everyday.... Some were beat up, for no reason, some were picked on about their appearance, and etc.... It's really sad how bullies make it hard for the good ones.... Nice, true writing! As always, smiles, Meridian |

| Terrie* (65.135.86.190) -- Thursday, July 22 2004, 02:21 am writing tells me that you too have seen the worst in situations .. 'm reminded of the many tears i had to dry..i put my self in a situation many years back that opened up my eyes to things that i never really paid any attention to.i was provided /w a comfortable little world. i became a child advocate..thats how my best friend and i stayed so close over the years..he was a victim of such abuse. i have had many sleepless nights when i carried a pager to be somewhere whether it was for a rape victim or a child that was beaten up..yes it is a horrendous situation..and yes it can mold a person of whom they are today.. many children need a voice to help them the sad thing is that things like this goes to far and we end up w/a casualty many suffer in silence..i give you a standing ovation for bringing this to the attention of our hearts..hugs/love |
| Ben (80.6.138.109) -- Thursday, July 22 2004, 09:24 am hi Terrie* Im sorry about your friend who was a victim of mindless fools,and thank you for your comment as they always keep me going, take care friend much love ben x |
| Terrie* (65.148.230.43) -- Thursday, July 22 2004, 11:11 pm yea my bud learned life the hard way his goal and passion was to prevent any child from becoming a victim, he didn't go for fortune for himself , lord knows he could of..instead he went for fortune in saving a childrens innocent lives..as a counselor he had to intervene in a brutal beating for the 7 year old son of the very guy whom bullied the cra* out of him..yes twist of fate and the mysteries of life .. as i've said b-4 your writing is tops!! do not change your style.. |
