"fight Back"

As a child we are raised to turn the other cheek. When other kids say you are a geek. I was so different then the other kids. If they said anything to me I ran and hid. They chased me,hit me,and called me names. If I told on them I got more of the same. In my room I would sit all alone and cry. My granny said"you can make friends if only you try". The bully's of the world they're so mean and sad. When they get older they're hateful and mad. As I grew-up life for me made a great change. I started making friends and for me that was strange. You can be the person you want to be. People only see what they want to see. Life doesn't begin with a push or a shove. So spend your life with lots of exception and love. Teresa Skyles/Theoklapoet
