Have you ever been bullied before?
You know how bad it is right?
46 % of kids aged 12-13 have been bullied.
You tell them to stop but they do it some more.
They call you bad names.
Then your left sitting on the floor with tears running down your face like a waterfall.
Then they try to cheer you up then they do it again.
Then you beg them to stop, they laugh and say no.
You go home and pretend like nothing happened today.
But the got nothing better to do.
So, they treat you like a piece of gum on their shoe.
Bullying ain’t nice, and that’s all they know how to do.
They only bully so that it makes them feel better.
The words they say can hurt me they make me sad when I haven’t done anything wrong.
Only 46% are bullied. That’s a lot, so change your behaviour,
instead become a saviour.
