I also teared up when I read that. What a beautiful daughter you have, inside and out. Upvoted and resteemed :)
Thank you. We are lucky to have her as part of our family. She is overwhelmed with the response to her poem.
I'm very pleased to hear that.
Your daughter is an inspiration. Her poem is beautifully written and gets the point across to those bullies. She has my upvote ad resteem.
And, thank-you for that Ceci 💜
I can agree that she is wise beyond her years! What a beautiful girl and a beautiful poem :) I also have a 12-year old daughter who has dealt with loss and bullying. I will definitely be showing this to her! I've written poetry all of my life (I'm 35 now) and I've never had the guts to share much of it. Tell her she is very strong and courageous for opening up and sharing her poetry. You and your wife obviously have many good reasons to be proud! :)
Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry your daughter has had to go through this as well. I think it may be something about this age. Hopefully her reading it gives her some courage to face her obstacles. You should definitely share your stuff, especially here on Steemity. The writing community here is amazing and is very supportive and will only make you a better writer. I wish you and your daughter the best.
I finally let her read it and she teared up and said “Awww!” I could tell she identified with it :) Also, I definitely need to get more involved in the writing community on here. It might reawaken what little bit of creativity I still have left in me. Thanks!!
Yep, that’s definitely a sign you’re doing something right! Very beautiful poem, with great insight and confidence. I can imagine that would make almost any dad feel proud 😊
Thanks man, my wife and I are super proud of both our kids, but when they do stuff like this, we can't help but want to share it. She has a bright future ahead of her. She loves to write and has been working on writing a story for a while. She is also into painting and photography. She has a great creative mind.
What an amazing young lady! Every teacher, coach, or employer dreams of having someone like her in their class, on their team or in a position in a company. To have a natural spirit and attitude that will drive a person to persevere through adversity and hardships without losing confidence in themselves or faith and hope of a better future and better things to come is a rare commodity whose value is hard to quantify. Not everyone in the world can recognize and appreciate this kind of spirit, and those who are jealous will try to stomp it out of her. She should be aware of this fact and look for career paths and employers who will appreciate what she is bringing to the table, if she does this she is sure to have a very bright future.
Thank you for the kind words. She is has been learning American Sign Language for about two years now and has worked with the special needs students throughout all of her time in school, so she wants to be a special needs teacher when she gets older. Every day when she gets home she tells us about how much fun she has in her peer tutor class with those children.
A few weeks ago when all of this started with her friends leaving her, she got a note in her backpack telling her that she should kill herself. She had a hard night because of that, but after talking with us about it, she decided she was going to start a livestream series on Facebook every week where she would speak to people about confidence and motivation. During her first livestream she spoke about the note and how it made her feel, but that it didn't matter to her, because all that mattered was how she felt about herself and that you can't let others bring you down. She had a ton of shares and about 1000 views on it and so many people told her, adults even, that her livestream helped them and they were looking forward to the next one. She really is a special person.
"She really is a special person."
Indeed!
Excelentes palabras. Saludos
Gracias por tu comentario. Espero que tengas un maravilloso día.
How sweet ❤️❤️
I have a 12 year old too, and Ive been having a “What are you doing right?” Theme going in my writing.
Good Job 👏🏾👍🏾
Heart warming to read about (and from) a young lady who is in touch with her soul. She clearly was born special out of her own accord, but you two parents have done a good job, so far! Pats on the back for mum and dad and warm support for your daughter coping so admirably with testing times.
Thank you. She really does know how to make the best out of these types of situations. She teaches my wife and I things all the time about how we should look at life.
Wow, this is so beautiful. resteemed
I am also dealing with some teenagers who are learning to find their footing in life especially in self discovery. I happen to be their tutor for academic subjects but sometimes they confide in me. This has inspired me to start my A Tutor's Tale which my first post was on Acceptance and Rejection and I am working on the second one on beauty. I'm so glad I read your daughter's poem!
Blessings to your family and all the best in the contest! :)
Thank you so much. Teenagers are a rough age because they are trying to figure out who they are instead of who we want them to be. We actually let our son drive for the first time on his own today. It was pretty scary, but we have to let it happen some time. I am glad that you enjoyed the poem.
Our next generation is such a blessing. Your daughter and her engagement to share this amazing message helps my hope to soar 💜🙏
Thank you. She sure does have such a sweet spirit about her. She is so happy that so many people like her poem.
