Demi lovato you are an inspiration to everyone. You have changed many peoples lives. I only wish you the best in life. You have gotten so far. Your fans & your family are so proud of you. I wish to become like you one day. I wish to face my fears & to speak up to someone about my darkest fears. Obesity is my problem,i am insecure & i am ridiculed everyday. In middle school i was bullied by people who i thought were my friends but really weren't they betrayed me & called me annerexic as if it were some type of joke. They would always make fun of me. I tolerated all of it...& now that i am 19 i still do tolerate rude comments from people. i know i shouldn't have to but i do...being bullied has affected me emotionally. But being insecure about myself also has affected me & the weight on my shoulder of always wanted to be thin. I have never weighed less than 150. i only weighed that much because i went through surgery for my tonsils. back in the past i wanted to go through surgery just so i could loose some weight. just like the fact that i don't eat when i am around my friends...my family says i should be aroud them more so i don't eat cuz i eat so much to hide my feelings to make the things in my head go away. I have so many things bottled up in my mind its too much. I only wish i find the confidence to talk to someone about EVERYTHING i go through. obesity/bullying/family/friend

My daughter is currently being Bullied.  My Pet hate has always been bullied. I have decided to meet with the head of the school to get to the bottom of this.  I dont want to come to a website like this and read one day "  I dont care I cant live with it anymore"  like one of the previous posts here for a 13 year old in Beligium.  That is the age of my daughter!  Its so sad!  I want to get to the bottom of it before it ever gets to that stage!  It makes me so sad and so scared!  I never bullied people at school.  I never allowed it.  But I am a string character.  Some people did try and I did not like it...but I used to face people straight up and say BACK OFF!!!!! usually they did!  But there were always some that were not able to do it...I used to take those kinds under my wing.  I hope I can do the same for my lovely daughter!  She is a good person.  She wont say anything bad about the girl who is bullying her.  Im so proud!  I just hope we can work through this soon xxx  To anyone out there hold out... you will end up being those bullies doctors or something like that one day!  You will be bigger and better!  To the little girl in Belgium be string and talk to an adult.  You are worth so much!  You are the world to someone! xxx

I do not like seeing others hurting. I care because any type of pain for a child or teen is wrong and needs to be stopped.

Kateena - 39 - texas

I remember being bullied through grade school and High school and always feeling alone. I never knew who my real friends are and who i could trust. I always felt like people who were not bullying me openly pushing me against walls or calling me names were talking about me behind my back and most of the time I was right. Being bullied affected my friendships today not being able to trust anyone and now i don`t let anyone close to me because i don`t want to go through pain again all of this came from being bullied. I don`t want anyone to go through this kids should be able to not worry about who`s talking about them and i hope one day they never will.

Bullying is wrong. Even though it is disgusting, I feel for the bullies they have either been bullied them selves or just not cared about and couldn't do anything about it. So now they take it out on smaller weaker victims. And what I'm saying to the bullies is to stop and talk about your problems. It will make you feel better and help prevent futer bullies and bullying.

I'm still being bullyed and I jest icnor it so walk away if they still do it get a mom or dad or a adult or any teacher step up stop bullying.

Michael - 11 - Minnesota

I am a victim of bullying. I have been bullied since 5th grade I am now a senior. I want to help others and let them know they are not alone. I am actually going to be going to college to learn phycology and help teens get through that rough time. In 2010 I tried to commit suicide because it had become so bad, I don't want to see any teen go through what I went through. 

Carmen - 17 - Stockton, CA

Bullying is the worst thing to ever happen to anyone. Being in the situation myself, arriving at school everyday not hving anyone to feel comfortable around or happy enough to tell whats going on in life. It leads to doing horrible things that might not be capable of stopping. I just want to make a change in the world for everyone, so that everyone feels perfect in there own way!

Demi - 16 - New Zealand

I have been bullied this led to me self harming and eating disorders i dont want anyone else to go through that.

Fergus - 13 - Northern Ireland

I have been bullied since I was 10 and finally when I came pass this site it made me think I have someone to talk to (type to) because all my friends don't listen to me when I need their help. They call me Skinny Skeleton and all the boys in my class tell me to Go on a date with what they think  the uglyess boy in the school.
I am soooo inspired by Demi Lovato I am so happy that she made up an anti-bullying team. 
I was bullied by the whole school because my name most of the time they thought becaue I have this name means that I could be popular and they might not be so they bully me and start to make others not like me so I hope that this will finally stop.

I was bullied in High School, I thought it would end once you become an adult. Not a lot of people realize that a lot of adults also do this to one another. No one should ever have to go through this, no one should ever be put down, because you are your own individual and special in your own way. We shouldn't accept this kind of behavior at all.

There are so many little things that people can do that hurt. Sometimes you think you aren't hurting anyone, but you actually are.  People need to be careful about what they say and do, because you can get carried away.  There was a girl at my school who was jealous of a lot of people and so she would spread rumors about them and tell people about how d horrible they "really were".  I was one of those people.  I was so upset about the things that she was saying, but I didn't let it get to me.  Like my idol, Demi Lovato, said, STAY STRONG. I talked to my friends about it and they helped me get through this. I used to think that she only hated me but this year I found out that she does it to multiple people. Yesterday she did something HORRIBLE to someone, one of her best friends, if people found out, her reputation in school would drop so quickly... I think that eventually for doing something bad like bullying, you will pay for it.  Not everybody will bow down to the bullies, some of them will stand up to them. And when they do - they will stand up taller than any bully will ever stand.

Ally - 14 - California

I care because... I have been in the situation that many others have been in everyday, I have at one time felt that unimportance, left out, hurt, broken, torn, pushed around, dropped feeling. And I can say it breaks my heart when I see all these comments. Theres millions of stories that have never been told, and there have been tons of stories that will never be told because nobody was able to help a child in need at the time. Bulying is in a case as you can say, mostly out of hand. It can be very dangerous, and can be scary! I was at the point 2 years ago of wanting to die, I tried for days and eventually ended up in the hospital becuase I was called 1 of many words that always gets to a girl... FAT! No girl EVER wants to be called that, I cut myself and I starved myself. After a month of not eating I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. Just to recover. I cut for about 6 months. And I leaned toward drug. Meth, pot, coke. It was no fun because up to a year. I can't remember a thing that went on the past year. I drank everyday, got high everyday. And I can say 1 from many. Don't ever lean your own life against alcohol & drugs. But for the past year has been better. I was in rehab & I got clean and now I know. When I am in need. I GET HELP! 
If you victim of bullying PLEASE get help!

Both Emma and I are apart of clubs in our school that promote anti-bullying. Over our experiences in our clubs, we have seen a major difference in bullying. Kids are now being respected for who they are, not what they look like and others are finally seeing that we are all equal. Although bullying has not stopped completely, we know that with the help of our fellow students, club members, people like you, and this website, we are making a change for the better.

i think we should stop bulling because its not respecting others personal life

shawn - 15 - lamar,mo

Just because I'm a Senior in High School doesn't mean I don't get bullied. Some people in our society over look that, and think very little of it. However, my community think it's a huge issue, and may I add, being bullied was the worse thing to ever happen to me. I didn't let it take me down though like most people would expect. What did I do to pull through this dark time in my life? I wrote a poem (in my Junior Year), that was later on seen on a local News in my community. Ever since then, I've been my school's Anti-Bullying Spokesperson and I work with my Superintendent. All-in-all just remember, there's people out there who care, and when you feel alone, just write or do a hobby that makes you feel 'on top of the world' and just remember YOU ARE AMAZING and a GOOD PERSON.

I care because I have a 7 year old sister who gets bullied constantly and half the time cries herself to sleep. It's very heartbreaking to know that people patronise and terrorize her, it's sickening and I hate that everyday she comes home with tear filled eyes and says she's been hit or verbally abused in certain sorts of ways. It's sad knowing children of all size, shape and form bully everybody. Just because people are insecure about themselves does not give them the right to bully children. I also have a little brother he is 6. He just started first grade and he gets bullied on the playground. He comes home and reminder a 6 year old child is asking me why he isn't good enough. That's sad and heartbreaking. I have been bullied but I'm more concerned about my younger siblings. Bullying needs to stop. And I am all in for it! -Passion.

I lost all my friends last year. They all started leaving me out of everthing they did. It was the worst feeling ever. I became really sad and down on myself thinking i did something wrong and it was all my fault. This new school year has been really tough for me just getting out of bed and going to school. Its hard to walk around the halls feel like you are not wanted by anyone. 
I want to make a difference in ending bullying, because ive felt the effects of it for a while and i dont wish it on anyone. No one should ever be treated like this ever.

Kayla - 16 - Massachusetts

I care because....Someone cared about me

April - 26 - Killeen, TX

 I was bullied alot and not just in the school, even on the playground.  Bullies are everywhere! And they make you do bad things. Like selfharming, they treat you like a dog and make fun of you. I was told that i was fat, gay, stupid and a lot of other words. I didn't tell anyone even it was bad. I keept it away from them, i told my best friend about it cuz i needed someone to lisen to me. So speak up! Don't let everyone make fun of you. Be the winner :).

Catalin - 15 - Romania

I have been bullied relentlessly, and despite the school's bully prevention program. In a private elementary school and junior high, I got called names, taken advantage of, and left out on a daily basis, simply because I had a talent. I was bullied from second grade all the way until the end of eighth grade. I eventually lost my talent, but they wouldn't let my label go. They made me believe it was a bad thing to be unique, to be different. They bade me believe that I truly was useless, that the world really would be better off without me. They made me believe that suicide was the only option.
I struggled through and made it to high school, where I was finally free. I made new friends who showed me it's great to be different. Being different makes us who we are.

Bailey - 18 - Orange, CA

I care for people who are bullied so badly..... I want a change and it will start on us we need to make a change.Demi Lovato thought me to stay strong I was a bully before and for me its just a joke but then I realized a simple joke for me can cause a lot of damage to others so I want to stand against bullying and I want one day to be like demi Lovato I dont want to be a victim again one day I will join PACER against bullying!!! 

STAY STRONG everybody!!!

Michelle - 18 - Texarkana, Arkansas

I was a bully. I targeted these girls because they were easy. They did not stand up for themselfs. The time I figured out I was the bully was when my very own friend tried to take her life because of a bully doing the same to her as I was to this other girl. That is when I knew I had to change.

Emily - 16 -

I used to get bullied in the 5th grade. I didn't have many friends, and this group of girls kept saying mean things to me. I kept telling people about it and none of them seemed to care. I just told myself to hold on. Then Middle School came, and I made some friends. Their all so suppourtive and really nice to me. Don't get me wrong, my life isn't perfect. But I'm 100 times happier than what I was. If there's one thing I'll promise you, is that it gets better. :)

Megan - 12 - Missouri

I've been bullied since kindergarten. I was always so afraid to come out of my shell because my whole life I was always made fun of. In kindergarten I was hit, tripped, pushed, etc. and in 4th grade I was threatened to be killed. I'm made fun of because they think I'm different. They've even made fun of my music, called me ugly many times, and just tried to bring me down and make me feel unimportant. After a while I started to believe all those comments because for so long that's all I heard so I became insecure. I still sometimes will go home and just cry, sometimes I'll even cry myself to sleep at night. I don't want that to happen to anyone else. I've seen what happens. I've seen so many stories on the news saying how teens commit suicide because of bullying. It's not right. This kind of stuff shouldn't happen. I know how much bullying hurts and even though I haven't had it as bad as some other people might've, I want to help. I want people to realize that they're not alone and that there are people that will be there for them. No one deserves to be treated like that. So, I want to help make a difference to stop bullying once and for all.

Bullying is just wrong! Nobody should make anyone feel inferior. Everyone is equal and putting people down is dumb. I have never been in a serious bullying situation, but my heart breaks for the people who have. Feeling unappreciateed, unloved, and stupid stinks. I also hate bing embarrassed. Who doesn't? People bully others because they have no outlet to their own jealousy, sadness, and other feelings. When I got my braces off I was feeling super confident and happy. Then one of my friends (We're not exactly friends anymore) made a comment about how it was "a good thing you got your braces off! They were unattractive and you spit all over! Ew!" It was not my fault my braces made me lisp. I felt so dorky and dumb. But I stood up to her. I told her this: "You know what? You need to be quiet. Nobody likes to be embarrassed or made fun of about anything! So why are you doing that? Nobody wants that. You don't, and I definitely don't! So lay off." She did. Anyway my point is, bullying is wrong.
