I Care Because
Bullying is wrong and everyone who is being bullied should hang in there and stay strong. Who cares what bullies think? You should be proud of yourself and keep your head up! No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. My advice? Don't hurt yourself;just keep your head up and always tell somebody.Don't struggle on your own. I wish to all of you the best of luck!

I care because.... Nobody should have to live there life in fear. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt" That's not true, words hurt! Nobody deserves to feel unwanted or worthless. There is a place in this world for everyone :)

It is simply wrong for others to think they are better than the defeneeless and innocent, i believe something should be done to end this cause that is affecting millions of kids/teens. Bullying in schools and Cyber Bullying is wrong.

Because I've seen bullying and not spoken up. My school is having a day of silence for anti-bullying. Lets stop it here. It starts with just one bold statement!!!!1

No one was ever there for me and people came along and pretending to be a friend but they only choose me as their target. I endured it all by myself just shutting myself off from the world until I developed a hatred for everyone. I started cutting, taking prescribed drugs,poisoning myself, jumping off my roof and hanging myself pretty much everything suicidal. I recently found someone an actual friend that cares and I feel i should just reach out and help others who have experienced bullying.

There is never an excuse to bully a disabled student. They have their own gifts to offer the world and have similar talents as would anyone else. I had a disability and was often called the "r" word and I'd like to see schools stop using that word and have parents explain to their children that the word is hurtful-period.

I was bullied so bad in 5th that I dropped out and was home school'd. It was fun I could wake up whenever and just get up to go to the bathroom and NOT WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE CALLING ME A lESBIEN!! Im not going to lie I became a "vocal" bully in 7th grade to fit in. It worked. But it wasnt worth it. So I stopped and am way more liked this year than last year. DONT BULLY. You dont need an amazing story to know that. Just dont do it. Im with you Demi:) and Thank you....
