Stop doing silent lunches...it's pointless...they're not doing anything.

I miss school, my friends, my teachers, so much! 

My mom's car got stolen and I'm scared about it.

My life sucks.  My teachers are so freaking mean!  I try to be funny at lunch, and get yelled at for "Not acting like a 6th grader" all because I just want to be funny.  I said ONE WORD during class and got me and my friend in trouble.  I'm grounded for a month.  The very few things about school I like are being ruined or "IMPROVED".  My teachers act like a psycho for being upset about all this.

My parents are too hard on me about my grades, it makes me really sad.

I was sexually harrassed by my stepdad and it has scared me ever since.

I have something going on that I can't tell anyone about.

I worry about my grandpa and my mom because they are sick.

I can't stop thinking about my friend who is getting bullied and is sad.  I don't see him that much, but yesterday I did seem him and he had his head down.  He would not speak.  I am concerned about him and I think the bullying is getting worse.  Before I went to bed last night I thought about the people who took their lives because they were getting bullied and were not treated right.  Our mission statement at Koontz is to make sure people are safe and comfortable and if someone is down we lift them up.  It does not look like that.

I wish my teacher would stop making me sit in the hall.

Me and my parents are always fighting.

I wish my teacher didn't hold grudges.

I don't feel good about myself, I wasn't supposed to be born.

My teacher calls me names.  I don't feel respected in class.  Everyone laughs when this happens.

I only see my Dad every other weekend but he came to the school early on my Mom's day to pick me up. But here's the twist. He was DRUNK. The police came, Ms. Rice helped a lot,  and Mr. Cowan helped. Every time I was sent into a different room Dad followed me and said that I needed to come home with him and if I didn't he would never see me again. But I always ignored it and said that I wanted to be with Mom. But I still ended up being there for over an hour.  

I don't want to share a room with my sister anymore.

I barely get sleep cause my parents fight at night then I wake up and I can't go back to sleep.  I think they are going to get a divorce.

I wish my dad and brother wasn't in jail.

I am really freaked out.  I have so many projects and deadlines creeping up.  I have some very big test scores to worry about, my grades are not good, and on top of all that, I'm sick!  I feel like I'm being crushed by the stress! Help! 

There are a lot of horrible things happening in this world right now.  A lot of suicide, homeless people, segregation, violence.  We need to speak up for it, it is not okay that these things happen.  For all of you on the Listen to Me Blog, I am sorry how your lives are going.  I want to help you guys.  People think that everyone is fine, but at home none understands the crap you guys go through.  Speak up to your parents and tell them to stop.  I know your lives feel like hell right now and I'm sorry.  From McColl Goding

I need to talk to somebody because I feel depressed of stuff and I don't feel like myself.

I wish our class could just be quiet!

I feel lonely at home. 

My life is really bad, I'm being bullied at home by my dad.  He tells me to shut up and get a life.  I have no privacy, they took away my door.  I really need help.  I'm depressed and try not to show it but it's there.  I've started acting out at school to get my mind off it.

I'm breaking on the inside, my heart has been broken, and my life has been Hell.

Bullying by Cessie Coffey

If you have ever been bullied, you should know how it feels. Being bullied is not fun, bullies can be very mean and hurtful, and make some people do some bad stuff, including suicide thoughts and they mostly put people in horrible depression.  If you are being bullied, make sure you tell an adult you trust. The reason bullies are rude and hurtful is because something that hurts them at home and they normally put it down on the less popular kids.  Here's something to remember when you say something is it: True, Kind, and Necessary?  When you're up against a bully, DO NOT BE RUDE BACK, just ignore them.  Also remember, God is always with you.  Even if you're a bully.  So try to tell them about God and how great He is, try this for 5 minutes and if that does not work then tell and adult.  Don't be a bully.

I get so tired of listening to my mom and dad argue, all the time.
