I am Sheila Cooperman, the teacher. The poems are written by 
students ages 11-13 years. I take no credit except for encouraging their expression.

Be anything else
Do not 
Be you
Go along with the group
Do not
Be individual
Be look-alike-robots
Do not
Have unique style and personality
Be what everyone wants you to be
Do not
Be yourself
Be miserable but popular
Do not
Be happy
Have a bad life
Do not
Turn it around
Choose the dark
Do not
Choose the light
