#NoMoreBullying Poem

Being bullied isn't fun, nor is it necessary. I know I'm not the only one, that feels this way. It's not only me, that's been called names, or hit or beat up. But them bullies need to know, we've had enough.

Stand up, and use your voice, and we'll get this stuff...stopped. That's right. No more of it.

Bullies change your ways. And gossipers, too. Instead of saying it behind our back, say it to our face.

That's how rumors start, by just one small lie. Next thing you know, a reputation's blown up, and we all know why.

You make it your business, to make others feel bad, and some people always believe the worst. You know what? That's not cool, and it makes us mad.

We're here tryin' to learn while we're at school. And social networks and Aminos, we go there to have fun, and hopefully make some good friends.

But you're ruining it, with your mean comments. How would you feel if someone called you what you just called me? I already know, cause it's how I feel right now, sad and lonely. So everybody stand up and say #NoMoreBullying.

Don't let them get away with it, it's definitely not okay. If someone hurts you with the words they say, don't become a bully, too.

Don't let them do to others, what they just did to you. Let the words slide off of you, that is, don't believe what they say, but still raise your hand.

Make them aware, help them understand...to bully is to hurt someone, when you should be nice.

We all have opinions, but if they aren't helpful or encouraging, keep them to yourself. Don't be the reason, someone hurts or kills themselves.

When you bully, you don't realize, you're breaking their self-esteem. They might not be able to achieve, even one dream, because you destroyed their hope. They can't cope, so they search for a way out, thinking the only option they have is this one: to end their life.

Do you know what you've done? Just stop hurting others, and find who you are...treat others as equals, the way you would treat you, and when you think of saying something mean, stop before you do. Imagine a mirror in front of your face, and ask yourself...

"Would you say that to you?"

Hopefully this helps, and encourages you too. No one can stop the bully...unless you do. It's your choice, so use your voice today.

Let's all stand up and yell, "Bullying's never okay!"

So, the next time you want to be rude and mean, remember this...
