Diamond Poems About Bullying

Today, as part of our workshops on Bullying Awareness with the Freshmen, we had them create "Diamond Poems" about bullying.  Poems created with nine words, utilizing what bullying means to them, how it looks, how it sounds, what safety means and then some sort of ending.  Here are a few examples of their work:
