i care because being bullied is not fun, and i really want to end bullying, its sad how people went through for being bullied, i just wanna help them to end bullying.

John - 17 - Waterbury, CT

I have been a victim of bullying and it's really hard to deal with. Going through it alone only makes it worse. I know how it feels to have feelings of hatred directed at me. I remember the thoughts of suicide. I just want other people who are in the situation that i am in that it gets better. Just talk to someone, PLEASE. Don't do anything crazy. Someone can help. Trust me. I Know...

i care because there are people who are pushed around everyday and no one notices. They need a chance to live and enjoy their life. What you do when some gets bullied can really change their life. So when you see someone getting bullied sont just stand there, DO SOMETHING!

I care because I'm going through this right now and I think no one deserves this.
Bulling is nevre ok.It hurts people a lot.
I am shy and I don't want to tell to my parents what's going on but I think that here is the right place to write it.
Something needs to be done.

I just to think it was okay to call people "gay" or a "faggot" or a "retard" but ever since i have been watching Glee, i have noticed that these things are actually wrong and that it is bullying. Noone deserves to feel in a way that makes them think they aren't worthy or lower than anyone else. I think bullying should stop. For Good.

Bullying happens to everyone. Even the kids who think they are popular. We all have a life outside of school or anything. Show your feelings. ~(Stand up! Speak Up! Say it LOUD!)~

...I've been cyber-bullied recently. Teenager use to be mean with some people just because they are frustrated or they've been bullied too.  But this is not right! And I think this is what we should to right now: making people understand bullying is not a normal behavior! We just lost too many lives. It must stop!!

Joanne - 16 - Romania

I useto get bullied 24/7 and i felt like it was my fault for years and i thought it was ok to bully other kids cause i was angry in the inside but as i got older i learned more and realized that bullying is not cool and it hurts alot of kids, so yeah thhis is why i cared and people feelings are important too.

Bullying is never okay; despite how angry someone may make you feel, that doesn't give you the right to try to bring someone else down. That just makes you look sad, and unloved.

Fatima - 14 - Atlanta

bullying is never, EVER acceptable. I came to a point where people would constantly call me fat in school, and even my family at home. I became bulimic and have been for 5 months now. I just want everyone to know that simple words can hurt people and affect their lives drastically. Bullying and teasing has to stop.

One of my best friends has to be homeschooled now because of bullying. She didnt want to come to school or be at any of the school functions because people kept telling her she didnt belong. She went to the school administrators and they wouldnt do anything about it. Being a bully makes you no better than anybody else. Bullying needs to stop. Now.

Megan - 17 - London, Ohio

Bullying is NEVER okay anywhere! Not even cyberbullying, sexual harassment, physical and verbal bullying, public humiliation, and many others. I might be able to stand uo to end bullying in many places around the world. I can change what's happening in my school.

Malu - 14 - Florida

Not only me who's being picked on but my friends too, this must really stop in the whole world

Jessica - 18 - Dillonvale OHio

My friend was being bullied by a group kids in high school and because of bullying i lost my friend. People always forget how much words hurt to people . We ALL need to put an end to bullying.

Jacky - 14 - Radcliff, KY

My highschool years were destroyed by people I thought were my friends. I had been bullied all year to the point where I was becoming unhealthy. I isolated myself and became depressed. I know now that I should've gotten help. Now I can take a stand and make a decision to make myself better and inform other people.

Ev e - 13 - Australia

I too have been bullied in the work place as have others by one single employee.  She continues to get promoted and the rest of us sit in limbo because the top management is afraid of her lies and fabrication of events.  
This made me stop and think of all those who are vulnerable and not able to do anything about Bullying.  
Thank you for highlighting this issue.  It goes to show that bullying comes in to all ages, and in every single walk of life.

Kathy - 65 - Minneapolis, MN

I care because my daughter is a target of bullying.  I see how it has changed her from a normal, average preteen, into a depressed, anxious, and intraverted 12 year old.  I hear the stories of not only the children inthe school but also the teachers bullying my child and I am left to pick up the pieces.  I care because I love my child and know NO child should go through this.

I have bullied a girl before.. which by then it was not too late to realise what I had did, so I said sorry to her, and made it up to her piece by piece, though I understand what I did was wrong, as after, I got bullied by a gang of people... I'd come home crying, self-loafing myself. Karma I guess, but a number of times i've seen people being picked on and stood in to tell them to stop, as the other day I was at my dancing class and this little kid when to another one 'HEY, YOU CAN'T DO IT RIGHT!, JUST WATCH HER. EUGH!, THATS THE SECOND TIME YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG', and I thought that was not right, I was about to stand in, but this girl who had been shouted at looked at me and smiled, I then went over to the other girl and said, 'don't be so rude, not everyone can get it in the first try, not even me' -this girl was 9.

hey im kayleigh, i just want to start of by saying i think this website has really made me overcome bullying and just try my best to ignore it. I think that the Demi Lavato's story really helped me the most i saw what she said the bullies called her. i myself went through the same being called fat and ugly and a minger, but now i think to myself i got my friends and family thats all i need and as jessie j says the the haters hate! there is no point in making someone feel bad to make you feel better! thanks demi you have really helped me over come it all! bigggggggeeeessst fan kayleigh evans from bragoed in wales!

Kayleigh - 12 - wales

I used to, and still am being bullied for multiple reason's.
I literally HATE crying, It makes me feel horrible inside, and i'm not much of an emotional person when it comes to people picking on me, But for the past 10 year's i have, no joke, been bullied.. non-stop.and come home crying almost every single day.No one has done anything about it, Iv'e talked to so many teacher's, Iv'e tried to deal with it myself which didn't get me far. People should not be bullied because it is not only a bad thing for you, but it shows you who that real bully is, A messed up person....only making fun of you, Just make make themselfs feel better. So whom ever reads this...Obviously has been, or has visioned bullying and WANT'S To make an end to it... I'm one of those people who want bullying to stop.
I, Jamie, Will Absoultely NOT Let bullies Bring Me Down.

skyanna - 11 - Michigan

I want kids to love going to school. I think bullying is wrong to do and needs to stop. People need to get involved, we all need to put in an effort to end this. We all know it is bad and wrong to do but we do it anyway. Not for long, our world is going to change that!
