Page 78 - Poems by Alyson Malach - Childhood to Adulthood

Bullying is not acceptable

In the playground where kids play and shout,
Some�mes mean words sneak out,

They make others feel small and blue,
But there's something we all can do.

When someone's mean, don't keep it inside,

Speak up, don't hide, it's okay to confide,
Together we're strong, we'll make things right,

Standing tall, shining our light.

Bullies hurt, but they're hur�ng too,
Lost and confused, they don't know what to do,

So, let's lend a hand, show them we care,
With kindness and love, we'll make a pair.

No more tears, no more pain,
Let's be friends, let's break the chain,
With smiles and hugs, we'll pave the way,

For a brighter tomorrow, come what may.

So, remember, my friend, you're not alone,

Together we'll make this place our own,
With courage and kindness, we'll make a stand,
For a world where love and friendship expand.

Let's join hands, teachers, parents, and friends,
To stop the hurt, where cruelty bends,

Speak up, speak out, and educate,
Be role models, show love, don't hate.

Listen with care, empathise, don't dismiss,

Each lived experience, none should miss,
Together we'll stand, as allies strong,

Crea�ng a world where all belong.
