Teasing Hurts

by Marvin, age 9

It hurts when people keep teasing me.

But I can always talk to my brother.

My brother always listens to me

and helps me when I stutter.

He says, "If once you don't succeed,

try, try again"

So, I keep trying!

I wish I could please stop stuttering,

but until I can,

I am thankful for my family

who loves me just as I am!
