School System

My school's fucked up

I'm just going to say that now

They always stress about drug use or abuse

But they don't say a word when suicide prevention day comes around

I can't take a mental health day

I have to fake an illness for that

I can't walk into the counselor's office and talk about what bothers me

They don't give a shit

The teachers don't bother to help those who need it

No one cares if I gave up hope

I'm taught that I'm just an item for men

It's fucked up!

I'm tired of watching teachers treat girls like objects

I'm tired of watching teachers hate on the LGBT+ kids in my class

I watch all this shit happen and I stand up against it

Then get suspended for it

I cry myself to sleep each night

Trying to find a reason to go on

These teachers MAKE me want to die

Just cause I tell the teacher I didn't get my homework done

It's automatically an F

They don't ask why

Even if it's the first time I haven't done it

They don't care that I'm trying not to cry in class

They don't ask my friend about her bruises

The guys aren't taught anything about girls except that they are ment for their every desire

Girls are taught everything about guys

Why is this?

I'm done doing any of that bulshit!

My kids will learn all the same things!

Girls get in trouble for their bra straps showing

Not a word said about the guys that have their pants at their knees!

I'm done with this shit!

I finally quit

Suicide prevention day is something that should be talked about!

Talk about feminism!

Mention how women are their own rulers, not a man

Schools need to do better about what they teach

Until they do, nothing in this world will change

So I am giving up on the school system until then
