the 3rs of bullying RECOGNIZE,REPORT,REFUSE
Today i'm little sad because my best friend lost his 10yo from bullying at school i really love that little kid he was full of life he was so carrying and he would always want to help you do things .i can't believe bullies still live among us , they live in our houses ,they walk on the streets with us ,mark was only 10 he had so much to look forward to in life but a bunch of bad kids made him took his own innocent life .this is what happened he had eye injuries from falling and her mother who happens to be my friend took her for an eye check up after we had a sisterhood talk then the doctors report suggested prescribed eyeglasses. mark really loved his new glasses he would say oh ! look i can read now , i can see color properly we would laugh about it not knowing those were the same glasses that was going to rob us mark forever for the rest of our lives i still regret talking to her mother about the eyeglasses i feel guilty .when mark went to school with his new glasses for the first time he got bullied from what i hear other kids in his class knocked the glasess of! and made fun of him, mark was a tough kid he thought this was a one time thing and because it's his first day with them to school it will stop! we were so wrong mark talked to his mother about it, then the dad decided to go to school to report the matter about bullying the school literally did nothing about it . kids in mark class continued bullying him , it became so bad . one day mark came home with a black eye and he didn't want to go to school no more and hated his glasses told his mother crying how he didnt want to put on the glasses no more . he was tired of being bullied . so mark and both his parents went back to school the following morning to report the matter .nothing was done about it , the bullying go so bad really ,really bad and mark couldn't take it no more . we failed him , the school failed him , nobody in his class stood for him .so that fateful night he had dinner with his family and he talked so much about how he love them , thanked his mother for the sweet meal , he told his little sister that he will always love them , he called me through his mothers phone to say hi , i was like hi baby are you ok , he said yes ! and he talked about the dinner they just had !! that was so strange to me because mark never call me . that was just a way of telling me bye i don't know ! i still wish i would have derived to his place after that strange call !! i wish i listened to my instinct, may be i would have saved him .it still traumatize me because we failed mark he tried giving us a hint that he was not ok but we keep pushing him to the edge with school and eyeglasses that he didn't like. that fateful night mark went to his room and took his own life he left a note written i'm sorry . her mother had no idea mark was no more she woke up as usual to prepare him for school she went to knock on his bedroom door calling his name mark you getting late for school! no response she decided to open the door that when she saw marks lifeless body dangling from his bed .her mother scream calling mark's dad to call 911 for ambulance as she tries to untangle mark trying cpr on him, mark never came back , it took 15 minutes for the medics team to get to marks house . they tried CPR but mark never responded they broke the new every parents never wish to hear , mark was pronounce dead .her parents cried so sad and loud thats when her mother called me to tell me what had happened to my friend mark. i haven't gotten over it yet. i need therapy mentally i'm still moaning baby mark , we failed him , when the school heard about marks death thats when they realized how bad mark was not safe in their school they decided to take action after mark was no more and the bullies are looking for their next target. you can imagine what pain mark had deep inside his body ,mind , soul ,imagine being helpless and nobody is willing to stand up for you, i'm hopeful that the bullies in that class be brought to justice mark did not deserve to die like this , he was only child but a group of bad people in his class decided to push him to this , may they never find peace , may karma get them before they take another innocent life. i was in school with marks parent to pick his school stuff , every kid sat on their locker exempt mark i stood there for like 30min looking at those kids thinking to myself how a group of them here are evil ,how heartless they look on my face , none of you could help save a soul, none of you could say no ! that is wrong ,none of you could take amatter on his or her hand to report the matter to the school administration .it pain me deep down how a bully look so young and innocent but deep down they need to be called out named and shamed in the school assembly. i will not rest until justice is done to my little friend mark , i'm sorry you had to go through this
