I Care Because
I don't want people to get hurt.
Gabby, 4, Pennsylvania
My best friend was bullied because a boy in my grade spread a rumor she was lesbian. Not only was it mean to her to bully her, but it was also mean because they said it like being gay was a bad thing. She didn't want anyone to know, and she was a bystander to herself for a long time. From that it got worse, until me and my friend stepped in, and I've learned to never be a bystander.

I was bullied at my old school. It was really tough. I didn't have many friends, and I wasn't popular. I hope some day all bullys with understand what it feels like to be bullied. Then, maybe, they would stop.

I care because I get affected by bullying everyday. Just yesterday people were throwing food at me on the bus. People think I'm an easy target because I'm already hurting without them bullying me. People need to help each other not break each other down.
