Question:PLEASE keep in mind that im only in the 8th grade. TRY not to make me cry again like you people have done before well here it is----

The Hardest Part of falling down
Is getting back up
Wiping the tears off your face

The Hardest part of falling down
Is the fear of falling again
Sinking father and farther down

The Hardest part of falling down
Is turning around without a care
And to dodge the glances of nasty eyes

The hardest part of falling down
Is to try again
knowing it can happen again and again

Looks pretty solid. The only suggestion I might have is to cut out slight repetitions. My edits would be:

Second verse:

The hardest part of falling down
Is the fear of falling again
Sinking further and deeper (rather than repeating further)

3rd:

The Hardest part of falling down
Is turning around (simplified)
And dodging the glances of nasty eyes (rolls off the tongue a bit easier)

Last:
The hardest part of falling down
Is to try again
Knowing I might fall once more
or:
Knowing I might fail
(something other than again and again, you want a strong last line)

Anyhow, looks like you're off to a great start!

not that good, you need to revise and make it more in depth...
