Seeing everything and hearing nothing
Teenagers don’t realize what their actions are doing
By saying hurtful words they cause a families pain
Every day we hear about a teenager killing themselves
Because they have been bullied non-stop
When something like this happens people just look around it
And say that the teens need to just come forward when being bullied
Little do they realize that we do indeed come forward and report it but
Nothing is ever done till it’s too late
After it’s all said and done a family is left in chaos because of hurtful
Words and actions

Unfortunately, this is very true. Teenagers are so often malicious, I wonder if they know how negative their effect is. Although this poem was sad to read, I thank you for writing it; you're aware of the problem...
