It's Never Too Late To Change

If you are a bully, you know you are because it's who you've chosen to be.

You make excuses that you being a bully is someone else's fault.  Unfortunately, the truth
you refuse to see.

So, you constantly search for easy victims, you want to destroy their confidence and 
self-esteem.

You don't care how other kids feel when you bully them.  Because of your bullying, kids have 
nightmares, instead of pleasant dreams.

I'm a kid just like you. 

But I don't bully other kids, that I would never do.

Nowhere does it say you have to be a bully for the rest of your life.  

There is a good side of you that lies deep within.  Right now it's asleep in the dark of night.

The good person you can be eagerly awaits to spread its wings, bringing happiness, fun and
joy, eliminating shame.

Please remember, no matter how much you have bullied other kids, for the better, it's never too 
late to change.
