P5-7 wrote anti-bullying poems and entered them in a national competition organised by the charity ‘ Respect Me.’

Here are some of the poems submitted –

‘I Wanted to Tell…’ by Florrie

I am bullied.

Every single day.

They pinch and pull me,

In every single way.

One made my leg bleed.

Another broke my heart.

They stole my diary,

And ripped it into tiny parts.

I went to bed,

And cried all night.

I felt like I,

Couldn’t take a fight.

I wanted to tell.

But I was just too sad.

I couldn’t even tell,

Mum or Dad.

I felt, if I told,

I would get into trouble.

It was as if I floated in a lonely bubble.

‘Bullies are Nasty!’ by Stewart

Bullies are the worst people who ever lived!

Bullies can crush your heart, make you sad,

or they can make you bleed right down your leg.

They can make pain in your body and you can’t get any sleep at all.

Be brave and stand up for yourself.

Her’s some advice in case you get bullied again.

Tell an adult!

Also you can tell mum and dad, so you can be safe.

So I just told you what to do, but you could say you could be bullied again.

And I would say again

Tell an adult!

So be safe and keep calm

And,

Tell an adult!

‘Go Tell An Adult’ by AJ

Bulling is nasty

Ugly gestures

Low life

Lasting bad memories

Yobs are bad

Ignorant and rude

Nervous, distressing, harrowing

Go tell an adult
