I know everyone is saying that bullying is bad and everything, but most of them don't know someone who was suicidal about it.


                                        I Do.


    On 11/27/12, one of my friends tried to kill himself because he was being bullied. He didn't tell me much, but when I messaged him, his sister told me that Elijah (not his real name) isn't breathing and she doesn't know if he is dead or not. He shot himself. His sister was keeping me updated and about 2 hours later she told me that he's alive and he just woke up. It was about 4 in the morning, and, I had school, but I couldn't sleep because I was scared for Elijah. 
    The next day at about 10 at night, he messaged me. I asked him how he was doing and he said a lot better and they we're going to release him from the hospital soon. I made him promise he would never try to kill himself again, and he promised. I still worry about him because it was only three days ago. 
    Bullying is bad, but some people aren't that strong, and end up doing what Elijah did. It's not fair. People need to think before they act, because not only did it hurt Elijah, but it also hurt everyone around him.

    I have a little sister named Isabella. She just turned a year old on 9/11. She loves to read! She can't say much, but she is always looking at books. She'll get a book and look through the pages in a chair by herself, or bring a book to you and sit on your lap while you read it to her. She likes colorful books, touch-and-feel books, and books about body parts. She is learning how to say "eye", and she is learning where it is, too. 
    She likes to read so much; I've memorized all the books. They are pretty simple; there's only a one or two words on every page. No matter how busy you are (even if she can tell), she will still bring you a book. I don't know where she got her love for books. She likes to read anywhere!
