A poem I found on the internet, it speaks to me strongly and I recommend you to read it. It won't take much of your time, thanks for reading :)
Grades are getting low,
Teens are getting high,
A 14 year old is pregnant,
Her parents wonder why,
A 1st grader is swearing,
A 3rd grader has been raped,
Just take a look around you,
Isn't the system great?
Who isn't faded these days,
Teens are sending nudes,
Kids are getting beaten,
Teachers see the bruise,
No calls for help is spoken,
Teens are smoking weed,
Young girls are cutting,
This isn't what we need,
The marks of taunt yelling,
Parents are divorced,
That 14 year old is drinking beer,
This can't get any worse,
A little girl has killed herself,
Nobody seems to care,
Another kid has been expelled for a stupid dare,
But it needs to change,
Our world is officially broken,
It's time to take a stand,
Your thoughts need to be spoken.
