Do you dare ask why?

Bullying is a form of physical or emotional violence common among children. Bullying can be found in schools, neighborhoods, and homes throughout the United States. Bullying is frequently misunderstood by adults as an unavoidable part of growing up and, as a result, often occurs in the presence of adults who fail to do anything about it. <-- Read the last sentence again!

Katie's Poem

I Am An Old Tattered Book

I am an old tattered book.
Nobody wants to read me.
My pages are torn, my cover soiled.

I am an old tattered book.
I feel like an old book,
Everybody else points and laughs at me.
I am alone on my own little shelf,
The shelf for books that nobody wants.
I haven't been checked out in years.
There are no other copies of me.

I want to be read.
If people were to just ignore my outside
And explore what I have on the inside,
They'd realize what an adventure I have to tell.

I am an old tattered book,
But look inside.
There’s still some magic left.
If you give me a chance,
I can show you the magic that I have inside me.

-Katie, April 2003
