Against the Wall Seen standing there Looking left and right Innocent teens whisper In silence of fright Against the wall In schools they hide From the bully Lurking the grounds outside Hundreds of eyes See their pain Hundreds of peers Share their fears United in secrecy Forming sacred bond They await the day When friends simply hug The war of bullies The deepest of scar...

It's so wonderful to see you posting here Coco!!! Welcome, and what a wonderful piece to share with us. My nephew had a brief encounter with a situation regarding a bully, and I was so incensed ... I was ready to take on the whole school. I believe it brought me back to my childhood, when I watched helplessly as some others became targets. We got tired of our "bully" and did band together and confronted him. He was ostracized ... I wish more kids could do this. Everyone has a voice! Best wishes, /Kit |

Coco- i like this alot... this is a very important subject... too many young people feel they are helpless against the bullies, but if they will just pull together, they can make it better.. thanks for speaking out on this. *smile*, -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

they call me the bully killer i kill bullies. see...........the plan is this: Know tons upon tons of people. Find out who's picking on who. Surround the kid and tell him if they pick on that person one more time death will come to them. Problem solved.... haha ok no im playin...but it would be cool!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Ahhh. Good subject and great writing!! I know only too well the havoc a bully can wreak on their victims. I'd like to say that this kindergarten behavior ceased in elementary school, but I see it daily, from college to the professional workforce - I blame it on basic human insecurity. And I indeed have been one of the targets discussed in the poem. The poem "I am Hated" (posted a few weeks back) was directed towards an individual in my school who staged a series of death threats and "blueprints" of plans to end my life, for reasons beyond my comprehension. To make a long story short, despite being pulled out of school for several days for my own safety, I had the option to change schools or stay. I chose to stay, refusing to allow the bully the pleasure of success. In any event, I've blathered on here enough, once again, good work, Coco! Vreni |

Bullies are not fun at all...I've had my fair share of them picking on me. Great piece Coco, I'm glad you could stop in and visit us! *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Helen Keller |
