UN Bullying

A place to start.

UN Bully The Bully

What causes one adolescent to bully?

Let me explain so you can comprehend

I am sure we will never understand fully

We need to culture the adolescent to mend

Peer pressure, overloaded emotions

Attention craving, hostility driven

These be only a few of the notions

Adolescents only work with what is given

Frustrations climb, anxieties heighten

Coping skills are few and out of reach

These catalytic contributors begin to frighten

Compounding an overloaded mind to breach

Jealousy, rage and hormones mix

Thoughts and actions become erratic

Mental illness is the label we affix

Soon enough, numbness is automatic

In this mind numbing state emotions the trigger

For unethical outbursts of hate filled fuel

As societal views a broken down figure

This adolescent is caught in a traumatic duel

Reverse this image and groom and mentor

This adolescent has potential to change the future

If only we subtly acted to calm this centaur

By improvising our interventions like a soft dissolving suture.

My sadness extends to Welland Notre-Dame at this time.

About the Creator

M.g.M

Writing is my creative tool to express emotional triggers and learn to adapt and excell my personal path of healing and linguistic wordsmithing. A lot of what I write does not always make it here. Most from now on will be here.
