The next day, the family were walking by a pond. They saw a body hanging from a tree they used to carve their names on every year. The family looked at each person, Grayson went closer to the hanging body. "It's Ethan." He cried. "We need to bring him to the hospital!" His mother yelled. "It's too late mom!" Cameron cried, "it's too late." She whispered. "What if he's still alive! Let's go to the damn hospital first!"

The doctor came out of the room. He took his gloves and mouth mask off. "Ethan has a minute to live. I suggest you hurry inside and tell him how much he means to you." They all nodded and walked in there. "Ethan, I'm sorry I treated you like this. I was jealous of you bro. You skipped multiple grades and left me crashing down. I knew you were smarter than me, that's where I had to put my anger against you! I love you so much dude." "Ethan, you used to be so happy? What happened to our friendship with Gray? It's so sad now that you're gone. I miss being with you E. I'm sorry for being the worst sister, ever! " "Son, we have no idea how much you've been through. The pain you were in were caused by many people including us. I'm sorry, son. We're all sorry for our mistakes." The line went dead. "Ethan!" They yelled.

It's crazy how much people die from suicide each day. Seconds past and people kill themselves. Whether it's a gun, a knife, or jumping off from a tall building. The most common one is hanging. So from writing this book, it shows how much pain it is and how words could easily destroy people. If you see someone getting bullied, it's guilt you feel, right? Even if you aren't the person who are currently bullying them. In this book, Ethan faces lots of blood and damage towards his life as a 13 year old. People can easily be hurt. People can change from happy to sad to depressed, then to suicidal, but they just cover the crime scene to make it untraced. In the end, his family realizes how much pain they put him in, just like how families would do it to their least favorite child or how bullies would go and try to make 'nerds' feel bad about themselves by calling them names, shoving them around and all of that. After the family realized that, it made them feel guilty and regret, and trust me you don't want to feel regret.

What I'm trying to explain is, it's stupid to see people who stabbed others and made them feel bad about themselves and one day, when they're dead, they only care about them next. It's so stupid. You're the one who made them feel bad. You're the one who gave them enough reason to kill themselves! You're the one, who will feel the pain as much as the person did. You're the one who's going to regret about this simple yet big mistake, all throughout your life. Even if you're happy, you'll always have the memory coming right back at you to make you feel guilty, just like how the person felt pain. Thank you for letting a person kill theselves. It hurts me that there's lives being lost every few seconds. Children, teenagers, adults, no matter how old you are, age does not matter! Life is really important, but once it's gone, they just don't care.

This book is a lesson to teach all of the bullies around the world about what words could do. I get bullied too, and I still am getting talked shit about behind my back, this is my pain in a book. This is a book that tells you, you are not alone. Treat others the way you want them to treat you. That's the least you could do to give this prevention of bullying a step up.
