Bullying and Suicide Collide

Too many young souls are taking their own lives People don't realize their words cut deeper then knives This needs to be a bigger part of our children's education The consequences can be deadly and we need to spread awareness across our whole nation What brings these young kids to these fateful choices? It often comes from cold,cruel,hateful voices It comes from so much more then being physically pushed around The emotional turmoil they endure, they try to drown out the sound Whatever happened to "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?" I guess unfortunately most people would rather make you feel less then two inches tall You never know what some of these kids may be going through at home As far as you know they may already feel isolated and alone They may have never experienced the unconditional love that you've known They may be seeking and hoping at school to find love and support to be shown We are all children of God aside from our size, shape or race Without extra hate and discrimination this world can already be a cruel enough place People may already be going through something much bigger then me and you Let's not make their lives harder and add bullying to it too We need to stop and end the bullying and hate Unfortunately for far too many it's already too late You walk into your classroom and the desk is empty where the student you picked on once sat Your teacher announces they killed themselves,can you live with that? Rumors,gossip and slander have such a devastating impact We've got young teens making a suicide pact These kids are ending their lives before they've really even begun Now tell me this, does bullying still sound like fun? Don't play a role in taking a child away from their mother,father,sister,or brother We need to open our eyes and hearts,be part of the solution and find more love for one another
