Stop Suicide
(The story of Betty)
the mean girls at school,
call me a w**** now,
I slept with a guy for money,
so I could go buy my mom a birthday present…..
(The story of Frank)
the jerks at school call me a loser because I wear long sleeves even in the summer,
but what they don’t know is,
my arms all contain the scars from where I cut everyday….
(The story of Sally)
the girls all think it’s hilarious how I got pregnant,
they all say “how could a loser like Sally attract anyone” “Maybe the guy was drunk?”
what they don’t know is I got raped,
but I’m too ashamed to say a word,
so I will raise her baby as a single mother,
getting bullied everyday,
when I didn’t even make one mistake
In the matter of one year Betty, Frank, and Sally all killed themselves. They were all in high school. This is a fictional poem, but it covers real life issues. One million people commit suicide every year due to bullying. Lets change that number to zero.

This is fictional. Sally, Frank, and Betty are not based off anyone I know, but I have heard stroies about suicide and it breaks my heart. I also see people get bullied everyday and it is horrible. I have been bullied myself, but not to the levels that some kids are. I wanted to highlight on how many kill themselves over bullying and write a reflect on it. This was very difficult to write! It just about made me cry!!
