Weday Stories

I walked into the building at 9:30 am, I left the building at 3:30 pm. I was a completely different person. I left We day 2017 a completely different person. I was inspired and I still am. I wanted to make a change so I decided to start this book. People may not view it, they may not vote for it, and they may not comment but that doesn't matter because I decided to be WE. In this story I'm going to post things I care about and stories of people who have experienced it. So send me your story and join me in a quest to be WE. (SLOW UPDATES)

WE Day is the celebration of all things WE. When hundreds of thousands of students gather to tell the powerful stories of how they are changing the world, a movement begins. Follow along as we highlight inspiring WE Day speakers, local & global heroes, and the moments that unify our passion for making a difference. Behind every WE Day speaker and performer is a story of inspiration, overcoming obstacles, and action. It's the journey that defines who we are, so let's hear directly from these change-makers as they give us a candid glimpse into their vision for our world.

"To the ones that don't fit in the body they came in, Or are defined by a name that causes foreheads to wrinkle with judgement, To the ones who are mocked for having parents that worked hard to put us in school, To the ones who hide their home-cooked lunches because others disrespect the spices that carry decades of tradition, To the students that are forced to eat meals alone - You can sit with us." Written for Telus - WE Day. Telus, WE Day, Wattpad and I have collaborated to inspire all readers to end bullying through sharing short poems about empowerment and hope. Enter in the @Telus contest and show us how you want to #EndBullying!

This anti-bullying one-shot is a piece of fiction meant to raise awareness on cyberbullying as part of the Telus/WeDay campaign. However, it is an extreme example of what approximately one in two teens go through. If you are not comfortable with this serious topic, then I suggest not reading this. Otherwise, read on!
