Title: Be a Friend Not an Enemy, Drawing/Poem
Mar 31, 2009
[Text of poem]
When you call someone a name
Their feelings aren’t the same
You make them feel really ashamed
No one wants to feel that way
Cause it might ruin his or her day
Name calling and bullying are wrong
Even if you think you’re strong
They’ll feel like you stuck them in the heart with a prong
We all know names can hurt you
And I know you’ve been hurt too
That’s why name calling is the wrong thing to do
