I Care Because
Most of the time, I wasn't affected by the bullying until the last time I changed schools. It was so hard for the first year, I didn't want to get up and go to school. I was depressed. But I can't do this anymore. I have to hope that one day my dreams will come true and I will be able to forget all that.

I've had a friend who was bullied severely and the pain that she felt is something no one should ever have to go through. It almost resulted in suicide and for someone to experience a feeling that strong is cruel and should not be tolerated.

Bullies scar people for life and I want our youth to make this world a better place not worse.

The same thing happened to me the last year... Some very mean and dumb boys started picking on me and told me every single day that I'm gay and threw away my bag, etc. But one day, I stood up for myself and told them my true opinion about them: how insecure and worthless they are for trying to bring me down. Then all my classmates took my side, and those jerks never said a single word to me ever again. I've made many new friends and now I'm actually very popular ;) don't give up dude!

I care because I was bullied a lot when I was younger. I was physically and verbally abused everyday and even when I changed schools because of it, I still was bullied at the new school. When I was twelve, I started cutting because of the past and I still do... but I don't want anyone to have to endure bullying. There is hope. I hope everyone knows that.

It seems that a majority of the people in my life are bullied, but instead of addressing it my school has the tendency of ignoring it completely. My friend was bullied to a point of near suicide and when her parents went to the school about it they told them to "Deal with it" People also like to laugh and poke fun at the special education class and the hallways are an extremely hostile, a few times I've had to dodge a punch just because the person thought it would be /funny/ to hit someone. I care because I hate to see people get hurt.
