Don’t be such a baby.
Suck it up and deal with it.
Oh the lessons I learn from my friends.
Go away,
I don’t have time for you right now.
Oh the lessons I learn from my parents.
Sit down and pay attention,
Stop talking for a moment.
Oh the lessons I learn from teachers.
Words hurt even if you say it’s a joke.
Keep your feelings buried.
Oh the lessons I teach myself.
Purging food makes you thinner,
Cutting your wrists relieves the pain.
Oh the lessons society has taught me.
Reality is harsh but it’ll get better,
Be yourself and others will love you.
Oh the lessons I wish someone had taught me.
Please tell me what you think

Extremely Good Write
You have just been hoodwinked.... I read this piece and I can't get it out of my head.So many lessons we need to learn, and the only problem is, I am now an old man, and still have lessons to learn. Maybe it all seems wearisome to you, but all through life we learn our lessons to make us better both to society and ourselves. I read your piece about your mother also, and I can totally relate. Life wasn't a picnic for me either. Heres to hopeing your life gets better and there are smiles in your future..Keep on Poeting you have a gift......LC

Hood-Winked!
I admire your strength in writing this poem, you sound as though you have been going through a rough time...I can't say I understand what you are going through, but I can feel your pain...
As we go through life, we get a lot of knocks, not always easy to cope with...but through all this you must take care of your health and maybe find someone you can talk to, and start to believe in yourself again, please don't go down the path of cutting, it won't make things better.

So very sad indeed. I'm sorry you have had people treat you this way, it's a horrible way of coming into adulthood being shown this way. I know I have had my fair share of cruelty from the rest of the world and it doesn't feel like it makes me stronger, though time will tell I guess. You don't have to think that way though sweetie, as some people - though in truth it may be few - are worth the effort and care you give them. Just find the right people and you'll see. Don't hurt yourself or become annorexic it may seem to help now but later on in life it'll cause more problems than you'll ever imagine.
If ever need to talk just message me and I'd be glad to share my wisdom (or lack of) with you.

Wow, if ever someone captured the essence of what is wrong in the world today, I think you have done it.
You've really covered every base: peers, family, educational, society and self.
Again Wow! I'm going to have my son read this...

OMG AMAZING POEM!!! It is so true you captured the lessons that we learn and wish someone had taught us. Excellent work!

I LOVE IT!!!!!
This is the best poem I have read all week!!! I absolutely love it! I love how true it is and how everyone should be able to relate to it. It really is a wake up call to many people out there about things that they say and things that they don't teach. It was really great how you put each lesson in a different stanza. It ends so well with the "reality is harsh but it'll get better, be yourself and others will love you. oh the lessons I wish someone had taught me" I don't know really anything about you, but from where I am and it must be from where anyone is if you ask me, being a teenager is just like that. Not good enough to express anything, and the only thing you seem good for is being thinner and thinner, and learning quietly. This really was an excellent poem! I am so glad I stumbled upon in! keep writing, you're great!

Oh, wow, that's amazing. I especially like the part about the lessons we teach ourselves, because I think that's so very true for so many people. The trick is, as you said at the end to be yourself and let others love you. Great poem, I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.
-
That did actually bring a tear to my eye because it's so true.

standing ovation coming your way, oh the lessons learned everyday. The battles won, the battles lost, but who really is the victims of of lost cause? You speak the truth through many lines, lessons learned over a life time. Some learn, some dont, some will care and some wont. But i am glad for what i taught myself, lessons learned of spirtual wealth.
BRAVO friend.

This is a good lesson in itself, well worth a sequel. Thanks for sharing.

Great job, nice job of showing the painful side of learning."Reality is harsh but it’ll get better,
"Be yourself and others will love you.
Oh the lessons I wish someone had taught me." Good advice!
