How the Bullied Feel

My Walk to School
By: Andrea Wilson

Fist punch.
Foot crunch.
Hand hit.
Mouth spit.
Eye swells.
Cant see.
Please,
Please,
Let me be.
Rips my homework.
Steals my money.
Grabs my lunch.
Thinks its funny
Sticks and stones may break my bones

Sissy
Prissy
Four-eyes
Geek
Fatso
Stupid
Nerdy
Freak
but names can really hurt.
Through the doors.
Up the stairs.
Face is bloody.
No one cares.
In the washroom.
Clean up the mess.

Ill be safe
Until recess

Medias Effect on the Mind

The media puts images in your mind of
what beauty is and when one does not
look this, it affects their self-esteem.
This causes eating disorders such as
bulimia, anorexia, and binge eating
disorders.
