She gets bullied and finds life threatening notes addressed ot her.

She's made a decision.

She starts to write.

 

"Dear anyone who might possibly care,

   I don't like living this way. Ever since I was little, everyone said that everything was my fault, that life would be simpler without me. I watched my mom, grandma, and grandpa die. My brother and dad are in prison for murder. My brother and his friend used to tell me things. They said that everythign would be fine as long as I did what they wanted. They raped me. I told you all that my cat scratched me, but honestly, I made those cuts myself. I thought that by doing that, I would one day wake up from this ongoing nightmare. I took up drinking and I done drugs, I thought that would take my mind off of things, but it didn't. It became an addiction. Most of my peers don't even know that I exist and the rest of them threaten to slice my throat. Everyone wants me dead.I guess your lives would be less complicated without me. Thank you for taking more time reading this than realizing I was a person. Goodbye now.

  This girl."

 

They found the note when they found her. Pills scattered all over the ground and there she was. Hanging from a noose tied to the tree right outside of school.

Think about how someone's life is. You never know how hard they've had it until they tell you.

Bullying can lead to a dead end.

 

Instead of taking time to make fun of someone or threaten them, take that time to get to know them.

 

Bullying Kills.

Bullying really needs to stop.

This was very creative and captivating. Though, bullying may never stop, not until the cycle is broken... Everyone has inferiority issues, just some people were introduced at a young age that making other people feel bad, especially in front of others, makes them feel better/look cool... I suppose it needs to be realized that you(they) can feel better through happiness and kindness... But that isn't cool! Great write, great contribution.

[Chesney W.]

thank you so much for the review,,it's greatly appreciated

[Emrick]

You passed the message very nicely.
You are creative.

(Its a sad story.yes bullying is a bad thing.anything that denies someone peace is bad. Here in Kenya we don't have that kind of bullying.I hope your Government is taking good measures on how to eradicate bullying.
That was so sad.

[Chesney W.]

its not a true story, but this kind of stuff happens often..it is very sad that people manipulate others and make them feel so small to the point of where that person would rather be dead. I'm bullied, so I know how it feels, and I'll admit, death has crossed my mind.

[Chesney W.]

but I think of all the good things in life, and it usually makes me feel better

[Emrick]

I thought it was a real story. Nice creativity chey. glad to hear that you overcame that "suicide" thing. There is a lot to live for and am very glad you realized that.

[Chesney W.]

i still think about it,,,just yesterday I was looking at a branch on a tree, wondering if it would hold my weight, and my sister knows how to tie a noose......but, I think that once I'm out of school , the bullying will die down some...so I'm anxiously waiting for the day of graduation....ready for high school to end...ugh!

[Chesney W.]

bullying is something that shouldn't happen, yeah, people are different, oh well. nobody is exactly like the next person, it makes us human. and it takes courage to not fit in.
