Telus Stories

I retell the story of my friend who got bullied for having dyslexia and how others and I helped him through it.

Beat down, can this poet get back up?

We each have been entrusted with the power of the written language and it's our job to wield it.

I don't like cheesy quotes. Why? Because half the time, they aren't true. Cyberbullying isn't to be sugar-coated. I of all people know this. But it's not like in the movies. It's not like you can start farting glitter bombs and sing show tunes while prancing around like Cinderella after experiencing what it's like to be publicly humiliated and shamed. This is what it's really like. The good, bad and the ugly. *** #RiseAbove Writing challenge for Telus FICTION All Rights Reserved Copyright 2017©

[SPONSORED BY TELUS] Eva Shaw's junior year falls apart when she sees a website dedicated to making fun of Cathy, a reclusive student, and does nothing about it. Eva watches the posts pop up every night and doesn't speak a word. But when she accidentally gets closer to Cathy, it slowly gets tougher to keep quiet about the bullying she witnesses each day. Cathy seems to be pulling further away from everyone and has no desire to bring a teacher into her mess and make things complicated. But Eva is finding it harder to keep quiet with all the guilt building up around her and when she finds out the creator of the website is much closer to her than she thought, doing the right thing seems almost impossible. With her 'friends' telling her to keep quiet, Cathy falling away and her own guilt pulling at her, Eva has to decide if speaking out is really worth it or if she should just listen to everyone and stay a simple bystander.

Young quiet girl Skylar is a fourteen year old girl, who always is doing her work, and being quiet. Her only friend is the popular boy Ryder, who she also has a little crush on. One day sky gets mean texts from an unknown number. Everyday it gets worse and worse and Sky goes into depression. Until one day Ryder finds out by taking sky phone, and handles it by telling his parents, who go to the principal because there both apart of the school board. This presents a strong friend who cares deeply about the other and doesn't want her to be treated like that. And in the end, live happily as a couple.

'Fat Me' is about a man being bullied by his classmates on social media until one day... A short story about anti-cyberbullying, a non- competition and a support to @TELUS campaign. #RiseAbove #Philippines #WeSupportTELUS

A short story about what all bullies really need.

How do you go back to loving yourself when no one else seems to? *If you or anyone you know has trouble with bullies and self-harm, people can help. I am not a Canadian resident, so therefore I cannot enter the contest, but TELUS and Wattpad can help if you need to talk to someone professional. Not to mention, if you ever just want to talk to someone, I am always here and willing to help if I can. <3
