At school people Pick Pick Pick If your an ESE student They call you stupid Or retarded Or even a box kid Whatever that means It hurts to know your the butt Of peoples stupid jokes And then it gets back around to you And you know its not true Then guys make bets On who can get you to like them And then once you start To like them They turn on you And start rumors Like your pregnant with their child And it gets to all your friends And they believe it And think your a hoe A slut A whore That hurts so bad Then people pick fights with you For no logical reason Other than they think your hitting on their boyfriend When you know your not When you leave school You think you left the mess behind But sometimes you have not But you know one thing The mess you leave at school Is more than the one you come home too At the end of school You just thank GOD Your home And with family and friends Cold hands means a warm heart |

Julie, I understand how cruel some kids can be. My family moved around alot and I never did seem to fit in at my schools... This teasing has little to do with your mental capacity.... I was an A student. It has everything to do with lesser people looking for an easy target in an attempt to convince themselves and other narrow minded individuals that they are somehow better. You should know that for every person that ever teased you, you should count as a vote for your own endurance and abilities. I didn't always think this way, but sometimes age does cure self-esteem difficulties. Look ahead and not behind. Count yourself lucky that you had a supportive family. My stepfather probably did more damage to me emotionally than all the kids from all my schools put together. Sherry Cherish the good memories of the past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. But above all... be kind to yourself today. |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Julie, I had to comment to this again, I believe it is saddening to see so many hurt by peer pressure, but in the long run, you are the winner for you grow richer in love and strength and they will mature and regret all the things they had spoken! (sad sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

It's a shame that bad things like this have to happen in order for poetry to flourish. But hey, pain is an emotion like any other, and I've seen some great poetry come of it. Consider yourself fortunate to have such an outlet as your writing. Parasite "Faith" means the will to avoid knowing what is true. |

Julie, it is all too easy to be cruel. i think this should be in the book to educate, if not, to at least create awareness |

Julie, You're not unappreciated here. Keep up your writing, and don't ever give up the fight! ~El Campeador “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

Daring in how honest this is. May it be in the book. Though there's one you haven't posted yet, that I believe is one of your best -- about waiting for a call? |

You put yourself out there for us all to see, do you realize how brave that is? One can not help but appreciate you. Never let the 'bullies' see you cry, that is their feed. Head up high, you are victorious. |

Julie - Here's some advice that has worked for me in the past. When you are feeling really down and you need to just do something to get past it all, put on your best pair of shoes, find yourself a cat and..... Nevermind, I think you might be one of those people who don't kick little kitties. Hang in there. Your words have a lot of pain in them. I'm sorry for that. |

I got picked at school too. But you should read one of older poem, which said we see them as jerk, and laughed at their stupid immature act, and disregard whatever they said. If you would like to see it I can email it to you. Just email me [email protected] Even now there are people that don't like me in college. I just assume everything I heard is false, be it nice or bad words. The only thing it matter is how we see ourselves. That's all it count. ~Every girl has a dream within. |

I imagine you are appreciated more than you know. People see your name here and reconise you and read and appreciate. I've always thought I was unappreciated then I discovered I didn't even appreciate myself, so how could I expect others to do for me what I didn't do for myself. Love reading all these great writes. |

Julie, I have had two of my three children attend ESE classes. I know of what you write. Sometimes it's not just the students, but also the school and teachers. They just don't get it. I do know this, both of my children are of very high intellect. They just didn't know how to handle their raging emotions. They are both doing very well now, just as you are. Susan |
