At my school, there is not much bullying happening. People care about each other, and if they don't like someone, they just don't talk to them. For instance, there this kid named Havi. He has autism, but when he walks around, people say his name, give him high fives, and listen to what he has to say. Other kids in my school that are different may bring in action figure or stuffed animals. Instead of people saying that that is weird and they should stop bringing them, they say something like, "Spider man, my favorite. cool action figure." I care because I want more schools to be like this one

I've been homeschooled most of my life, up until this year. And I was amazed at how condescending and hurtful kids can be.  No wonder hardly any teenagers have confidence! I'm going to do everything in my power to  encourage kids and treat everyone with respect. One thing to tell yourself if you're being bullied is: "If I don't stand up for myself or find some way to prevent it, I'm only encouaging it." By standing up you're doing them a favor too.
