every child should have the right to attend school in a safe and respectful educational environment. Children can be so cruel to one another. They need to be taught tolerance and kindness at home so it becomes second nature to them in all walks of their lives. School should be an exciting place for children to go to, not something they fear.

I've seen people bullying other people because they have been buillied in the first place. One time, a close friend of mine told me he was being bullied and I talked to the bully. The bully said she was bullied too. I told her we could be friends if she stopped bullying other people, but she was blinded by the people who bullied her. This has got to stop. What will bullying get you?

I've been bullied a lot before and I want to help people who have been in my situation. I want to make a difference in the world and help people.

no one should feel worthless. Hearing Jamey Rodemeyer's story really touched me. No one should have to deal with cutting words about their race, gender, sexuality, religion, or appearance. We often don't realize how our words and actions impact others.

I have been bullied before by my best friends so much that people still ask me why i'm still friends with them but it's because when they are good friends they are really good friends. So for anybody out there that is getting bullied. Stay strong. It will get better. Don't ever forget that you are worth it and you will always be loved by someone.
