I Care Because
I have disability called "Spina Bifida". I know exactly how it feels to be pushed by a Bully. Went I was in elementry, lots of kids pointed and laughed at me. They called me all sorts of names. A year or two later, I decided that enough is enough. I went and told an adult, but the bullying continued. So I started to take matters in to my own hands. Whenever someone would bully me, I would laugh along with them and start making fun of myself. Before I knew it, I started not being afraid and not getting my feelings hurt. The bully would started to give up because they knew they couldn't put me down. My social life became so much better.

I have always felt the need to be different and students at my school don't like that. Everyone blends in and molds together, but the people who ruin that are bullied. I was one of the people who ruined it. I would get so upset that I would cut myself and find any excuse to harm myself. I still don't blend in perfectly, but I've learned to embrace it because that's what life is all about. It's about being different. My heart and all my love goes out to Phoebe and her family and any other person who is bullied

I've seen kids in my class being Bullied.It feels very bad I'm doing the best to help them!
Sonia, 9, Pafos,Cyprus
I was bullied for years. Year after year I got made fun of. When I transitioned to high school I hoped I would have a fresh start, but I was just picked on more. I became a bully myself. I started making fun of others. There are many reasons why I did it. I had to feel better about myself by putting down others, I did it because I wanted the spotlight of being humiliated to be put on someone else. I didn't realize how bad it was until I made someone cry. They were so embarassed they went home early. How do I apologize for something like that? I'm going to stop bullying because I know what it's like on both ends of the bullying.

I care because at a young age I was bullied by not only people at school but also people in my house. I was 10 when I started cutting, I always thought that no one cared so when I was 16 I tried to hang my self and a friend found me. She yelled at me and told me she was there for me after that I had to go through conseling it helped. But it was still there I was still being bullied, but now I know how it feels so when I see someone being bullied I speek out. I know it hurts and I wish there was more people who can really help and stop others from hurting themselves and to stop hurting others. Words hurt and some people just dont understand how bad they hurt others.
