Tears.
Streaming down -
Confetti at a party
She wasn't invited to.

Rumors.
Handed down -
Ugly, dirty words
That broke... her heart.

Fights.
Going down -
Purple, blue, black bruises
Splattered her body

Blood.
Dripping down -
Soothing, cool metal
Sliced her open.

Death.
Heading down -
That loner you kicked...
He could be next.

The author's comments:
Bullying is raging in almost all of the schools in the world.Whether its about your race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or even your personality, it's a huge problem that needs to be solved - fast. Schools don't address this problem enough, and this even incites laughter about the issue of bullying. I chose the title "Russian Roulette" because it really address the dangers of bullying - it's really a chance of luck that someone gets bullied, and it's a lethal game.
