I care because I've been hurt, and I know what it feels like to be hurt - not good. I absolutely abhor mistreating people and it frustrates me when people crush each other's morale without remorse. How could you? People forget that it's not about who's the prettiest or who's the funniest because being pretty and funny doesn't change the world for the better. Being considerate of others does. Understand that if you don't build the others around you up, how could you expect to climb any higher yourself? I care because I understand that no one should ask me to. I care because I want us ALL to grow as people, as a nation, and as neighbors on this Earth, for the better.

I care because i have seen bulling and i know the pain. Demi Lovato is my role model because she is amazing and stands up for what is right. If we stand up to bullying millions of young people across the world will live happier child/teenage lives. I care because i want to help make people's lives that little bit easier, school is hard enough without it. we can stand together to stop bullying, starting now. <3

Hi I’m Charlotte. And we have this girl in my class who is a bully. And she only targets me. Everyone else just sits there and watches. And the teachers just hope it goes away! How unfair is that? She just gets away with everything! I’m done. I’m finally standing up to her. I’m sick of this. If you or someone else is being bullied, tell a teacher or trusted adult amidily. No more living in fear of bullies. Stand up. Be heard. Don’t let them get in your head. Get in their’s.
