WE COULD HELP SOMEONE WHO IS BEING BULLIEDWE COULD HELP SOMEONE WHO IS BEING BULLIED

...by telling an adult. Someone that for sure we know

could help the person that is being bullied. Also in

order to really help if the person is scared is to talk

her into saying what is really going on and not to

tell lies. Her/his parents might transfer her/him if

they are not being stopped bullying. Get the person

to talk to a professional in order to say what she

is feeling and not have those suicidal thoughts or

other dangerous thoughts that some people have.

Going to a professional will also give parents ideas

on how to solve the bullying problem. Maria A.

Whats the pointOf me being here?

I dont get it, I feel worthless,

Like I will be goneWith the wind.

Nobody will remember meYou wouldnt wantTo be in my place.

They call me a freak justBecause Im different.

If they only knewHow bad it hurts.I will be strong

Because its the onlyChoice I have.

Maybe its because Im strongThat they keep hurting me.

Finally, if they just keep doing it consult a teacher. The most important thing is:

I think

If A Girl Dared to Dream Like a rose in a crack of concrete, She is a miracle. No one knows what she has been through And had to accomplish. To compare her to a summers day Is still not enough to describe her. She looks for love not with her Eyes, but with her mind only. Therefore, she is a very good friend. She would rather listen than speak. She feels that you need to gain her trust To unlock the door to her heart. Her kindness and Sincerity arent the Only things that stand out. Its her looks, too. When she steps into the busy street Her silky hair Sways as the Wind whooshes by. Her skin radiates as The sun shines down On her. She walks with bounce And has a purpose in life. -Joselyn C.

I have a dream That makes me work to the Extreme

I want to be the best I want to impress.

I want to be a superstar

I want to get far I want to get the crown

and never get down.

The only way I can get there Is if I keep moving forward

I will keep dreaming Until I start gleaming.

-Alexa G.

Life-Long Dream To be part of a team Nothing extreme My mind begins to daydream I drift downstreLm Immediately an idea that is supreme Suddenly a sandpaper scream I get as cold as ice cream I turned as white as sour cream To be part of the symphony Oh, what a dream. My eyes have a joyful gleam. My trumpet began to scream. Like a well known theme The stars show in its beam As I begin with my team Blood running to the extreme A duet, a double-team! The performance is supreme. -Rachael P.

Someday Someday, I want to be a teacher But first, I need to finish school Someday, I would like to get college degree And maybe Masters degree will be cool. Someday, I want to be a singer When I am older Someday, I wish I will find a lovely guy So I can put my head on his shoulder. Someday, I want to be an artist Have a wonderful life and good work to do Someday, I will have a remarkable family All my dreams are going to come true. -Regine E.

When I grow up, I shall be an artist, Creating words through time, For the world is too barren of colors and rhyme, Dazzle millions with my creations beyond imagination. Although a game designer would be pretty neat, But an Animator could be such a treat Designing a world of nightmares and imagination Or animate a show with enchanted incantations. But alas, I must start somewhere... For I cant just go here to there on thin air I'll study hard, be able to see far, For one can't limit imagination for such things, Spread my mind and fly on starlit wings! Enduring school isnt easy, But its essential for learning our skills, Animating, games, even artwork arent exactly fulfilled. High school will be a bit annoying to pull through, For my dreams to be reality Ill be better off enduring. College: for thats when my dreams shall be true! -Nikolette M.

Started out as a low school reject, Nothing much was expected from me, My mistakes, I recollect, I didn't care in retrospect! Sitting, my hands on my controller, It seems to be the only thing I control. Power on, Worries off, They just seem to fly out the window. Broken, but I'm picking up the pieces! I was broken but I'm picking up the pieces! Scattered, gathered, Yeah, we all matter, No matter who you are. No indication, To my life direction, No group formation, But now we are! -Cristian M.

Live for Adventure Lifes too brief not to have adventures. One day youre living and the next youre not. You think you know me, But you dont. I have backstory Filled with travel and experience. Ive had escapades My quests are like memories I can never have too many I zip-lined across forests Scuba dived with manatees And with orange balloon-shaped jellyfish I held abstract colored snakes And fed green old-aged turtles. Ive swum in freezing cold college pools. From the bustling, lighted city of Chicago To the sweltering desert and mountains of Arizona And the glacier-frigid waterways of Alaska. Theres too much to explore A whole world is out there Just waiting for me. -Iris P.

My Life-Long Dream Creativity. Bottled up. For who knows what. Im overflowing with ideas. They will satisfy the growing hunger humans are longing for. I will feed the people with my art. Hydrate them with my writing. I will diffuse my passion to others I will demonstrate the fruit of my hard work. I will become someones Form of absolute salvation. My dream. No, my goal since I was young is to join or even surpass the greats. To originate a new form of art. My dream is to share my bottled-up creativity With the world and to be accepted. Life-long creativity. Its overflowing with ideas. And now, its time to share them. Let my passion overflow. -Denice G.
