| Publisher Description: Welcome to an eye-opener of truth, looking at what the world has to offer, and it's all about choices that we make. Here is a family who has moved from one state to another due to a transfer of her father job. This young lady finds herself, along with a friend of hers, being bullied by a group of girls who have taken over everything at the school and other places. She told no one that this was going on, but she knew that this was wrong and it just couldn't keep going on. In other words, she knew that she had to do and she had to do something quick. Carla realized that this was a big thing that was going on, and she had a problem with it. Every day, you turn on the TV, the radio, read the newspaper, and social media is posting picture after picture of innocent souls of lives being taken. Being in a situation like this makes so many feel as though the walls are closing in on them, and they even feel that there is no way out for them. So many are afraid, scared, and threatened, and have no one to talk to, and they feel if they tell someone, they will be laughed at or even killed. This young lady said that enough was enough and she began to step out on a mission to put a stop to bullying. She was afraid of being broken, but she knew if she didn't stop it, her crayon would be broken. Crayons are people of color, and we all deserve to live our lives in a positive way. This is suicide, and many don't return from it, and those that do have a story to tell. Parents, talk to your children and get involved in the things that they are doing. Know who your children's friends are, and know who they hang around. Visit their school and see what they are doing and who they are talking to. Bullying is real. Bullying is abuse. It's intimidating, it's humiliating, it's uncomfortable, and it's a behavior that can lead to injuries and even death. If you know of someone that is being bullied, do not keep it to yourself. Please tell someone. Run as fast as you can until you get help. Please help your child to live. In memory of Jimmy Alston, Sr. |
