October is National Bullying Prevention Month

2011-10-03T16:31:00.006-06:00

“The culture of bullying won’t end until people across the country take action and show children and teens that they care,” says Julie Hertzog, director of PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center, which sponsors National Bullying Prevention Month.

Bullying is defined as aggressive behavior that is intentional. It can be physical (such as pushing or hitting) or verbal (such as hurting someone with insults or malicious gossip). In younger children, bullying can also frequently include exclusion (a child telling another she doesn’t want to play with her and urging others to join her in excluding the victim of the bullying behavior)

At EAM Teens at Teen Hangout are creating book trailers about bullying and books on bullying are being displayed.

On April 6, 2011, future poets, parents, teachers, and library staff attended the El Paso Public Library's Poetry Awards Assembly. El Paso Public Library Director, Dionne Mack Harvin, spoke and took individual pictures with the winners. Keynote speaker and poet Roberto Bryd from Cinco Punto Press read some of his poems as did individual poetry winners.

Honorable Mention Poem from Esperanza Acosta Moreno; Poet Lauren from El Dorado High School

I am an American Soldier

I can't trust civilians around me

They all look suspicious

Some plan to blow me up to smitherens

Some hate us so much for the way we live back home.

I am an American Soldier

My family doesn't understand the stress

They think I've changed

I have changed.

I can't see myself anymore

That part has died.

I am an American Doldier

At night when I'm alone

I close my eyes and see fallen comrades

Watch as they take their last breath

Knowing I'm the last thing

That they'll ever see again.

I am an American Soldier

I live with sorrow

I see suicide

I see murder

I hear heart wrenching cries

I smell broken earth

I smell blood stained ground.

I am an American soldier

Empty allies

Deserted streets

The hot wind against my cheek

The sweat dripping from my brow

My heart is broken

I am an American Soldier

Yet I look up,

and see the moon has the audacity to shine.

I can't help but see,

Your visage in the light.

The universe above my head,

Holds the answers to all questions.

But, the only heaven I know of,

is the time spend with you.
