For about 15 students at Life Skills Center of Youngstown, the school's new Poetry Club is more than just the written word, it's about making a statement."If we don't change ourselves, our future is going nowhere," student Jennifer Tejeda said.
"It helps keep me motivated to do positive things around the school," student Louis Jones added.
Students discuss topics such as friendship and how to stop violence during the meetings.
"I'm so proud of you," teacher Teresa Migliozzi told club members. "You're not letting violence get the best of you, you're getting the best of it. You guys are being a positive force."
Here are some examples of poetry that was read during the club meeting.
