Back to school
fun for most
especially the cool kids
You know the ones
I’m talking about, they always get
what they want
Covered in namebrands
multiple pairs of shoes
designer backpacks
They don’t ride the bus
their parents are rich
so they get dropped off
By their moms
in expensive luxury cars
and picked up too
But for the kids
that aren’t as blessed
the first day of school
Seems like Hell
dressed in hand me downs
wearing generic shoes
The same backpack
as they had last year
the only thing genuine
Is their fear
always being picked on
their heads facing the ground
Just hoping to go unnoticed
afraid of the jocks, preps
and the rich kids
Feeling like their only place
in school truly is
to provide amusement
FOR THE FILTHY RICH
to prey on, making themselves
feel better off others misfortune
SICK
Wheres the vaccination
to prevent these statistics
that consistently wreak havoc
Taking the lives
of the most innocent
just trying to better themselves
By getting an education
forced on them
by the state who mandates
THEM
PLEASE CHILDREN,
PLEASE HAVE YOUR
MASKS ON!

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that almost 45,000 deaths occur from suicide each year. There are about 100 non-fatal suicide attempts to every 1 suicide. A little over 14% of students in high school consider suicide and approximately 7% of them attempt suicide. Students that are bullied are around 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims.[14] A study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying. 10 to 14 year old teen girls are most likely to commit suicide based on this study. According to ABC News, nearly 30% of students are either victims of bullies or bullies themselves and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because they are scared of being bullied.[15]
