What We Care About

It seems like the most important thing is fitting in.

It seems like all we care about is fitting in.

We make someone feel like a complete fool.

Sooner or later they blow up.

They can't take the humiliation anymore. 

Most of the time a life or lives are lost.

In the end what do we get?

Popularity?

You'll go that far so people will like you?

And you say they were a loser because they didn't fit in!

Nice write! I thought that this story held a lot of truth, wisdom, and maturity, and I liked the strength and resilience that exuded from this piece. The issue that you tackled in this story is obviously a very real and very raw one, and I was curious as to how you were to going to go about expressing it. In a way, I wish you had explored your ideas a little further, perhaps by posing an alternative to the present world, as I felt that this read more like a poem than a story. But overall, this was a pretty solid write. Definitely made me think. :)

My nickname in School was Dog.. I camne back with the saying Dogs bark, Bark on trees, Trees are Nature, Natures beautiful, Thank You for the Compliment! Bullying is terrible & hurtful, i once had a teacher say When you were born you were so ugly, your parents tied a pork chop around your neck & let the dog eat you. I even had a teacher call me Porky Pig once.. this is a great poem! Stand up against bulling!

Good written piece, and it's the unfortunate truth. But it's this want to fit in that makes us human. Keep up the good work.
