Dear Children of the world-
Please don't hurt your friends,
Not like mine have done to me.
Remember all those manners your parents taught?
They taught you for a reason.
Use them.
Don't make plans in front of others who aren't invited.
It's hard to sit and watch
Invite them.
Don't be sly about your words, try to trick and lie.
It's no use- we find out anyway.
Be truthful.
Don't act differently around two different people, in their presence.
It's hard not knowing a side of a friend.
Be yourself.
Don't ignore them because you have an issue.
It's not going to disappear in the silence.
Solve problems.
Don't listen to others ideas only because you've known them longer.
It's not always the right way to do it.
Be open.
Don't try to hide rumors or secrets- or start them.
It's no fun to be a rumor.
Be trustworthy.
Don't disrespect the opinions and ideas of others because they aren't the same as yours.
It's good to learn from others.
Be respectful.
Don't get rid of someone like dirty laundry or a piece of trash.
It's hard to struggle along by yourself.
Be kind.
Please, dear children of the world,
Listen to my plea.
I speak as a victim of these crimes.
Hear my cry.
Use the manners you were taught.
Receive these words.
Learn from my troubles and other's mistakes.
Implement this today.
Please...
Don't allow another generation to go through this again.
I pray my experiences were not in vain.
