Girls Need Education
Abbie Dulson
You sit in the back of class giggling throwing paper balls at the ‘geeks’
You skip lesson
You argue back at teachers
You haven’t willingly read a book in five years
And you still expect to get grade 9s at GCSEs
I can’t go to school
I’m not allowed to go out in public
If I would try protest for my rights I would be shot
I am forced to be a robot with no feelings
I am told I should be seen and not heard and you think your life’s terrible since you just have one piece of homework to do
My rights have been stripped from me and you just waste yours thinking school is hell when in fact you’re the one making school hell for everyone who actually wants to get the most of their education.
When in ten years time you’re sitting in your council house with your ten kids you say to yourself how could this have happened, you cry because you had potential. But that potential was ruined when you decided going out drinking in year 11 was better then revising for your GCSEs maths exam
I would kill to be in your shoes to be able to get an education. Don’t waste it.
