Before I start my story I'd like to thank my 4th grade P.E. teacher,Coach Eric Howard,if u wouldn't have told ur classes the story when somebody bullied somebody else,i wouldn't be able to share it with concerend others.here it goes:One day,in Rural New Orleans,was a little 8 سال old(name unknown).He was bullied every دن at school,so one day,that little 8 سال old boy hung him self in the boy's bathroom.his last words were:"God all mighty please make me a spot in haven so i don't have to go through life like this."
My friend,Mary was new to America,& this is her story.Mary was an immigrant from Mexico& was at least 13.After she learned english she always told me how she hated America,& how many people made fun of her hertitage.She کہا her parents wanted to die,"Do آپ feel the same Mary?"I'd ask her."Sometimes she answer back.One day,I went to her house& she seemed gloomier than ever.I sorta cheered her up& then we went to play in the basement,like always."Can آپ go get some punch?"She asked me.So I went to go get some punch,but there was none.I decide just to make some.When I returned,Mary had hung herself with a بیلٹ, پٹی hooked to her the metal seeling bar.She was pronnounced dead at 5:57 PM.Today,I still feel like it's my fault cuz I left her.
