Exceptional and Columbine, a flower, a high-school Puberty's Essence, Importance by victortouche

Wondering around, it hurts to not belong. The joining of it all- Kool People The Intimidators The ones... who push too far for me. There are consequences for resisting. Isolation Alone So alone, with the...bruises. This is not me or, at least, who I want to be. So, a decision must come from me. Puberty seemed more like... give me Liberty or give me Death. Some support would certainly help our young transition. I had several sleepless nights. I actually came to the conclusion- I must defend myself, without reservation, or die. So, calmly, one night in my double bunk bed, I decided. In the morning, force must be met with force. Consequences be damned. I will cross the line. The one, everyone knows, but is afraid of. And, rightfully so. Because to cross this line, you must leave all behind. Even a young man knows- The red line. The rage line. The wake-up later line. And so, I crossed. I fought. I raged. I tried... to kill. At nine years old. Recognized Author Notes This is...absolutely true. Our children, especially, at pubescence, need NO BULLYING. Just simple love and support. victor touche
