Teens React to Bullying (Amanda Todd)


Feeling like there is nothing to live for no hope,
4 years is a lifetime when you feel you have no friends, no one to turn to
Floating through the halls unacknowledged, you are socially exiled, isolated
 
Abandoned.

Loner. Freak. Loser. Gay. Slut. simple words turned into casually said slurs
She’s gone. She ended her life all too soon because there was no one to talk to
She couldn’t turn to her parents, no friends left to stand up for her
The ironic twist-she turned towards the internet, the very place she was attacked and humiliated to tell her story
However, the internet failed to save her life

We abandoned her.

We can listen.
We can have a voice.
We can speak for others who have no choice
To be who they are
We can open our hearts up and make it right,
To end the silence, we can lead those in the darkness out into the light
