A Poem by 1Disawsum
"

Bullying happens at any age, and anyone can be bullies. I was bullied when I was 6. It happens, and if you let it continue, they won't stop. I knew somebody, who suicided at 6. R.I.P. Taylor.

"
We were in a maths class, 
And we were learning about ratios.
"Let's choose the fattest person in the class..."
And he chose me.

"Now let's choose the skinniest..."
He chose my bully.
"What is your weight?"
He asked me.

'60kgs." I muttered quietly, 
Hoping he'd leave me alone.
"60?! And how old are you?"
"I'm 6." Tears started falling.

"Wow. Lose weight, fast!" 
My bully told me, wickedly smiling.
"What do you weigh?" 
The teacher asked my bully.

"I'm 30kgs." He grinned at me.
"You stay the same, you should be
Her role model." The teacher told him.
"Yes, sir! I will, won't I, Rebecca?"

I meekly nodded, knowing I'll be
Taunted even more later. 
"Now, can anyone tell me the ratio
Of those two? If he is one, what is she?"

Answers started flying at us.
"Ten!" "Twenty!" "One hundred!"
But one specific answer I heard.
"Infinite, because her weight is out of the scale."

"Yeah, she's too fat, she should lose weight!"
"Yeah, how can she fit in this classroom?"
The teacher didn't do anything, just stood there,

Letting the bullies get to me even more.
As I ran out of the classroom, I could see him smiling.
He was congratulating them, applauding them.
That was the day I killed myself. The pain, the relief, gone.
