I care because, I have been bullied since I was little because I had a birthmark on my face. And kids from my school keep calling me "ketchup". And it hurts me a lot. They don't know how hard it is for me to go out and people asking me if I was in an accident and my got burnt. And saying that I look like a map. And they had to make up songs. I am writting this because, I have had enough of this bullying and I'm going to stand up to those bullies. And tell them to shut up. Because  they don't know who I AM.

I care because I was bullied in Primary and bullied of my first year in secondary. In Primary I stood out because I had spots on my face and ginger hair. My hair isn't ginger, it's stawberry blonde. I also have a lisp and I can't say my words properly. I've just found out that my best friend used to get bullied because she is tall, wears glasses. I think bullying is so wrong and it should of never been invented. I'M AGAINST BULLYING AND SO SHOULD EVERYONE! NEVER BE AFRAID OF WHO YOU ARE!

I want my son to grow up in a world were bullying doesn't exist but that's asking for too much.  If people stood up for each other..spoke up when needed...cared just a little more...and simply thought of the future maybe it would stop.  When you see bullying DO SOMETHING bc if u dont ur being part of it.  The victim is someones brother/sister, daughter/son, friend...what if they were ur friend,sibling, child...wouldnt u want some1 to stand up for them?!? I care because I hope for a brighter future for each one of u who I dont even know...

I care because humans do NOT deserve to be bullied. Everyone is equal. I think that we should all "treat others how you want to be treated." Follow the Golden Rule, and sign the petition! Why should someone get bullied because they're "weird?" They're only "weird" because you aren't used to it. If we all expected the worst, we would be pleasnlty surprised, and not bully anyone. 
BAD EXAMPLE: 
Girl: OMG you didn't wear pink like I told you to! I wanted to MATCH! Besides, blue looks so ugly on you.
SOLUTION: OMG, blue? That's, like, the BEST color ever! I love that color too! We're like cotton candy. 

See the difference? 

Anyways, I hope this message gets through to everyone.
