One brighten day, a boy walked away, because a lot of people say, that he is ugly and he’s gay.
But he never saw these people there were like scary ghosts, and from blind unseen abuse he was afraid the most.
So one day he decided he can’t handle anymore he decided that these people were rotten like a core.
And now when all these things, appear on the Facebook wall he had to pull the trigger to let it go and fall.
Cyber bullying can be deadly and we can’t just close our eyes wish it wasn't happening.
It’s everyone’s responsibility to teach their kids to be kind so we’re all safe online.

He told his maid to open the door because he was so annoyed and irritated at that minute.
So the maid opened it and a young woman was standing there and then she said”Hi i’m a princess from a faraway land and my kingdom is having war so my parents sent me away and my uber dropped me off in the middle of town and I was walking to a friends house that moved away from my castle because she was going to collage and I left my map in the uber,So i don't know where I am and it's raining can you please help me?”
The maid replied”Okay I will just ask the queen”After a couple of seconds the queen said you can stay here for the night and I will give you a map tomorrow afternoon,Okay”So she let her in and she gave the princess some food to eat and it was very delicious…..That night the queen wanted to see if that girl was a real princess so she was tested.
The queen tested her by putting a pea under 25 layers of goose feather mattress.That night the princess went to bed and she was tossing and turning because she was very sensitive.
That morning she woke up with her hair looking like a nest and had bags under her eyes.
So she did her hair and her makeup to hide the bags and put on a beautiful dress.
That morning the prince and queen asked her”how did you sleep” and she responded”Not well I couldn't sleep and I lost 4 and a half hours of sleep.
The Queen and prince knew straight away that she was a princess and he got what he wanted so in the end they got married and had twins named Cinderella and Ben.
