a lonely life
for a terrified child
when tormented daily
by peers acting wild
making fun of images
clothes and even hair
until it was unbearable
just to be there
in a classroom
feeling like a fool
dreading each new day
where the bullies did rule
letting many know
they would always be there
wearing down the weak
desiring someone to care
when the tears flowed
to hear what was said
in order to escape the bully
most preferred to be dead

This can most definitely be the impact of bullying. I have some bullied students who easily talk about wanting to kill themselves. Makes me think how fragile is their sense of themselves and their right to be here.
Maggie,
I wanted to respond to your comment on my The Hungers Game review. I thought of Egypt when I read it. And why we sacrifice our children--willfully or from neglect. I don't know.
