Be Yourself


School

They talk about it as a perfect safe learning environment.  

When in reality it's not.

You can't even be yourself without getting judged.

It has turned into a place where bullying is normal and not taken seriously.

Why are schools like this you may ask?

Most kids don't think about how others are fealing.

They can be going through something at home and you won't eaven realize it.

Hate is a strong word, but bullying is the worst thing that can happen to you.

It harms you mentally, and emotionally. 

Leading to depression, suicide and even causing school shootings.

All because of what?

Bullying.

Treat others how you want to be treated and I know for a fact that nobody wants to be treated poorly.

So be the bigger, better person and don't be a bully just because your friend is.

Make the difference and let school feel wolcoming and safe.
