Every day at school means another encounter with Harry, Anton and Sully. They have been bullying me for a while, but none of the teachers seem to notice. Harry is the leader of them and the worst of all.]]> 2018-12-04 16:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/310979862 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/310985752 For most of my life I have been bullied and treated like I’m so different. A couple days ago Harry (my bully) decided that my worst fear is not being seen so he’s ignoring me. He was right. I hate not being seen. It drives me crazy. Today all of it changed. I am seen, even if the monster and I had to pummel Harry to the ground, I am finally seen. “Never invisible again, the monster kept saying as he pummeled Harry. Never invisible again.” (154).]]> 2018-12-04 16:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/310985752 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/310989339 I’m not going to lie. My life is really hard. My mom is sick, I have one friend and I constantly get bullied. Sometimes a song can help. Logic is about a teen who gets bullied a lot for being different even though I’m just a kid I can relate to him on somelevel, I get bullied alot  for my mom being sick and being “an easy target”. Fight song and Brave are about being different, pushing through and just knowing who you are and accepting it.

The first video is one person getting bullied physically, and the other is verbally. I get called names and I am “invisible”. Not only that, but Harry, Anton and Sully hit me and terrorize me most days.]]> 2018-12-05 18:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311537226 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311543428 Most nights at exactly 12:07 the monster comes. In the day time it looks like a yew tree, but at 12:07 it transforms into a monterous beast as old as time itself. It is a gnarled, ugly thing yet I’m not ever scared. It gives great advice. “You do not write your life with words, the monster said. You write it with actions. What you think is not important. It is only important what you do.” (192). He said this, these words of wisdom shortly before my mother past. He helped me get passed my grief.]]> 2018-12-05 19:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311543428 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311872631 2018-12-06 15:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311872631 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311872975 2018-12-06 15:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311872975 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311887867 Every night at exactly 12:07 the monster comes. It can get really annoying at times, but nevertheless he will come whether I want it or not. “His clock ticked over 12:07.” (29). Sometimes I wait for it. “12:07. Of course it was....Maybe it wasn’t going to come tonight. 12:08, read the clock. 12:09. Feeling vaguely angry Conor got up and went to the kitchen.”]]> 2018-12-06 16:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/311887867 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/312983331 This was it, the day I lose one of the most important (maybe even the most important) person I know. My mum. “‘I don’t want you to go,’ he said, the tears dropping from his eyes, slowly at first, then spilling like a river.” (204).]]> 2018-12-10 15:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/312983331 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/312983477 Grandma and I have never had the best relationship. Recently, she moved in with us to take care of my mom. I should have been doing that. My mum wasn’t getting better; worse in fact. Eventually she had to go to the hospital for another treatment and I had to move in with grandma.]]> 2018-12-10 15:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/312983477 welch_kiara26 https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/312984901 All I had to do was tell the truth. Doesn’t sound too hard right? Wrong. It was one of the hardest things in the world. Telling the truth, a truth I thought was so awful it wasn’t to be spoken. By telling the truth I could finally let my mother go. “And by doing so, he could finally let her go.” (205). “You do what you did right now, the monster said. You speak the truth. ‘That’s it?’ You think it is easy? The monster raised two enormous eyebrows. You were willing to die rather than speak it.” (192).]]> 2018-12-10 15:47:30 UTC https://padlet.com/welch_kiara26/dghhjdelym8h/wish/312984901
