Bully-cide
GALLERY
Bullying is not a simple problem. It does not begin with one bully, and it does not end with one bully. There are many victims; not just one. Bullying becomes such a major problem that many contemplate taking their own lives. Understand about bullying and cyber bullying, understand about suicide. Don't think that these problems don't involve you, they are a big part of your life out there, whether you like it or not. Prevent bullying, prevent suicide, don't be a bystander and let this happen.

Poems about Bullying:
Hero (extended version)
By Victor Knight
No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in
But we feel like we do when we make fun of him
Cause you want to belong, do you go along?
Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong
It's not like you hate him or want him to die
But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide
Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side
And a kindness from you might have saved his life
Heroes are made when you make a choice
You could be a hero - heroes do what's right
You could be a hero - you might save a life
You could be a hero- you could join the fight
For what's right
​
No one talks to her, she feels so alone
She's in too much pain to survive on her own
The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife
She writes on her arm and wants to give up her life
Each day she goes on is a day that she's brave
Fighting the lie that giving up is the way
Each moment of courage her on life she saves
When she throws the pills out a hero is made
Heroes are made when you make a choice
No one talks to him about how he lives
He thinks that the choices he makes are just his
Doesn't know he's the leader with the way he behaves
And others will follow the choices he's made
He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide
His brother who wants to be him is just nine
He can do what he wants because it's his right
The choices he makes change a nine-year-old's life
​
Little Mikey D. was the one in class who everyday got brutally harassed
This went on for years until he decided that never again would he shed another tear
So he walked through the door, grabbed a four-four out of his father's dresser drawer
And said I can't take life no more
And like that life can be lost
But this ain't even about that
All of us just sat back and watched it happen
Thinkin' it's not my responsibility to solve a problem that isn't even about me
This is our problem
This is just one of the daily scenarios which we choose to close our eyes
Instead of doing the right thing
If we make a choice and be the voice for those who won't speak up for themselves
How many lives would be saved, changed, and rearranged
Now it's our time to pick a side
So don't keep walkin' by
Not wantin' to intervene
'cause you wanna exist and never be seen
So let's wake up and change the world
Our time is now
Hold
By Victor Knight
​
Tell me that it's gonna be okay
Tell me you'll help me find my way
Tell me you can see the light of dawn is breaking
Tell me that it's gonna be alright
Tell me you'll help me fight this fight
Tell me you won't leave me alone in this
Because I need a hand to hold
to hold me from the edge
the edge I'm sliding over slowly
I need your hand to hold
to hold me from the edge
the edge I'm sliding past
Hold on to me
Tell me I can make it through this day
I don't have the words to pray
You've been the only one whose never left me
Help me find a way through my fear
Help me find a light through these tears
Help me see I'm not alone in this.
Hope
By Cody Onyx
Don't fear
Hope.
Don't hate
Love.
Don't surrender
Press on
The fight is long
But it is has worth
It has a meaning
And end
It is who you are
You are someone who is alive
With feelings
Feelings that those around might not fully understand
But that doesn't matter
What matters is you
Is that you know who you are
That you love who you are
You can't let someone define you
You define you
You become who you are because of you
Not from genetics
Not from friends
Not from past actions
Not even from now
But from inside
From you
You become you
Through you
And you are amazing
No matter what
No matter what happens
No matter what life throws
No matter what people say
No matter how bad things get No matter how sad things get
No matter what
As long as you are you
And as long as you are true to you
As long as you have hope
As long as you love
As long as you spread the peace
You will be free
Do what you love
Be who you are
Be free Free as a bird.
