Zaphora is a girl who NO one understands and always makes fun of but one day she will stand up for her self will it be enough

Dear Readers, The poem you are about to read, A Duty To Speak, is incredibly close to my heart because it is born entirely from a true experience. One evening, after finishing my shift at Barter Books-the lovely café nestled inside the old converted Victorian railway station-I stepped out to catch my usual bus home. What should have been a routine journey turned into an evening I will never forget. While waiting at the station, I witnessed a vulnerable young schoolboy being subjected to deeply uncomfortable and inappropriate behavior by a heavily intoxicated woman. What shocked and distressed me just as much as her actions was the reaction of those around us-the bystanders who chose to look away, and even those who laughed. I knew I couldn't just stand by. Thanks to a brilliant, furious bus driver who understood the gravity of the situation, we managed to intervene and get the boy to safety. I wrote this poem to process that night, but more importantly, to give a voice to that quiet schoolboy and to highlight a vital truth: we all have a responsibility to look out for one another. I hope it resonates with you and serves as a gentle reminder of why we must never choose silence when someone is in need of help. Thank you, as always, for reading. Warmest wishes, Gemma

This is very serious... not a horror story just very serious

Read through Claudia's story as she tries to figure out why her best friend is ignoring her. "I just continue on as is nothing was happening but deep down I know something is wrong". Author's Note: Cyber bullying is one of the cruelest things someone can do to someone else. I have been cyber bullied and I know a lot of my close friends have been too. With those experiences I've created a story to spread awareness about cyber bullying and hopefully whoever reads this will keep in mind to be safe online. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Text Copyright © moreanonymousreader ™ 2017 The moral right of the author has been asserted.
