A very insightful poem about bullying, its effects and the complex reasons children sometimes engage in this behaviour.

To the people who own the platforms and websites: You need to realise you have a "duty of care." In places like the UK and Europe, laws like the Online Safety Act and the Digital Services Act essentially say you must look after the children on your sites.

It says we have the right to freedom of expression and to find and share information "through any media of the child's choice." That includes the internet and social media. Banning us actually goes against our rights.
