I care because .... I have been bullied since third grade and over the years it's gotten worse. I have been told to kill myself by a bully. "The end of bullying begins with you!" - Demi Lovato

too many get bullied for horrible reasons. It might as well be the same as war if you're doing that. We all are different. No one is the exact same. Even twins. So, I care, because we should all just really get along and learn to accept people for who they are. Only when we stand strong and united, can be make this world a better place from bullying and just be happy :)

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 was bullied all through Elementary School and I am still being bullied and am about to go into 8th grade, and I have so many loving friends that support me when I am sad, and I don't cut as much because I want to be around them.

Stacey Lawrence - 14 - Abu Dhabi

'I care because i have been bullyes a couple of times and it really hurts and i have seen other people out side of school and in side of school get hurt by bullys. I am writhing this because no matter what happense to me if i get hurt a couple of times it is ok coz i can still stay strong because i am use to it but the others who dosen't no how to keep them selves safe out there should know to only keep yourself safe is to think first before doing any acttion because you won't no what will happen. For me is to think back what two amazing people have said about me is that I am strong,I am smart,I am Epic,I have the power to control mt self,I have the power to control other and also I think i am better then the other people who is around me who bullys me and just walk away buit if it keeps happing the best way is to tell the teachers,tell a parent and if it is still happing what i do is just talk it out with someone who you can achally trust with. I am really hurt when people talk about me or the others because we mite be from another coulture doesen't mean that we don't belong to there world and i bet this will keep going on and on and also someday i know some one out there will help me or you to solve all your bully problems.

Clarissa - 15 - Philippines

I was bullied since 5th grade. I made ONE wrong move. And BAM! Rumors spread fast. And it ruined my whole reputation just for saving a friend from a relationship. They don't even know what's going on. People called me MEAN NAMES, They dont know how it feels to be bullied. Its like every single day it gets worser and worser. I didnt know what to do anymore. People whispering my name behind my back. My friends who look at me like I'm a complete stranger. I didn't even know what I just did to them. I just wanna stop those BULLIES from bullying other people. I dont want other people feel what I just felt.. until now. PLEASE STOP THE BULLYING AND LEARN TO UNDERSTAND!

Andrea - 14 - Illinois

I care because I'm bullied. Everyday. Just because I'm different. They make fun of what I wear, what pets I have,  what music I listen to, what boys I  like,  etc...  and I didnt realize it was considered bullying until i read this site... and now... I know it hurts and i dont want ANYONE to feel this way... so.. thats why i care.. <3 

Melinda - 14 - Rhode Island, U.S.A

i care because i notice bullying around me. i notice people being bullied for their religion,who they like, who they hang out with, if they are gay, lesbian, transgender, cross dresser. i realize its happening and its not only hurting them but its hurting me. and it may be hurting others around who care about them. Bullying is plain out wrong. 8% of children under the age 14 commit suicide due to bullying.However, 15-50% attempt and succeed. and school. school is supposed to be a safe environment. but really who is safe any more? with all the violence. with the bullying. the hatred..i care because i was bullied and it didnt feel good. my sister is bullied, my brother has been bullied, maybe everyone has been affected by bullies some time or another but it doesnt make it okay.

chloe - 11 - calgargy

I care because I lived with bullying 3 years. Those 3 years was very painful and hard for me, everybody have right to live like a normal person. I hate bullies, all my class and the other kids in school were bullying me, so it was very difficult time for me. I told my mum that, my stomach ache, my head ache. I had so many excuses not to go to school. Teachers didn't do anything. I still don't know the reason why they did it. So my message is all of whom have been bullied or who are bullied now, we are one team, we support those who have to live through it right now and everyday.  
GOOD LUCK !

ni used to be bullied in the begginng of the year. people called me ugly , dumb , and stupid. also other names , i used to write abusive and suicidal letters and praying i would die. my best friend Daija kept telling me im pretty and very smart and to never let anyone bring me down. one day a bully actually physically hit me and we was fighting. i started to use fighting to get my anger out.  my principal tried to talk me out of it . now instead i write down my feelings , rip it up , and throw in the trash or talk to my friends. fighting is only damaging yourself more. my friend  Rafiah learned her lesson and got sent to juevinelle hall. Now she's ou and we learned not to fight. me and my friends ignore peolpe now. once you ignore , they'l get sick and tired of trying . they jus wanna hurt you to make them feel better. ignore is the key for me to bullys

Miracle - 11 - United States

I care because I know what it'slike to be bullied. People just have so much hatred built built up inside that they take it out on someone else. I've been bulied my whole life. Some reasons are because I'm "emo",ove wegt,different,and I love to read/write... There's plenty of other reasons,but I'm not going to go on. I feel that no child,person rather should have to go through that  do't ealt see the point in all this bullying,abuse,etc. I've had many thoughts and attempts to suicide,but I realized that this can be dealt with and I'll be hurting and disappointing my family. My arents finally gotme into cunceling after a few years  of begging. I'm also a cutter. I cut and beat myself. My therapist diagnosed me with bipolar depression. I know everyone will make it through. I Demi Lovato can,then I think everyone can. I wanna be known as the girl who started off weak,but ended up strong. Ibeliee in everyone who is going through this and I wish them faith,luck,and hope. Most of all love.. You'll make it. I know you will. <3

Alyssa - 14 - Tennessee

I care because I have been bullied in elementary school. I have felt the pain of the mean words and actions of my peers. Each day I had to face them, each day was a nightmare at school. But I do believe for every insult I had endured, it only made me stronger. I concentrated on my school work and followed my dreams of one day becoming a teacher. A teacher that could make a difference in her own students lives. A teacher that made sure that bullying in her classroom is stomped out. 

Agata - 30 - Jastrebie Zdroj, Poland

i care because i feel alone and i get bullied by sommeone who i thought cared about me treats me as if their disgusted. they say mean things like fat, ugly, their dissapointed in me cause i cant be the person they want me to be. and ive tried self harming and at first it helped but now i'm scarred for life. and the words they've said are hurtful and they will always haunt me and i got pushed in front of a seeding car because someone i thought cared thinks my sister is better than me and they think im fat and ugly and that i shouldn't deserve the privelge to live. so now i deal with self image issues and i hope one day i can put this all behind me .

sian cross - 15 - south wales

I care because everyone I know hates me and only a couple real friends know how I really am.

Marina - 12 - Georgia

I know people who suffered bullying, i have a friend, she was bullied way back in elementary years so she and her mother decided to homeschool her but now, she's famous in showbiz industry she's now 15 a dancer, model and a fashion designer. the show Glee somewhat shows how bullying affects people's lives esp when Kurt was transferred in a private school eventhough his parents can't afford the tuition fee just because they don't want Kurt to be bullied. Let us be strong, like the Lemonade Mouth Disney movie says, BE HEARD BE STRONG BE PROUD.

Jade - 11 - Tioga,LA

I just wanted to say that some parents do care!  My son was bullied in elementary school, so we switched to a small charter school.  This charter school has no tolerance for bullies, they have assemblies about bullying, and yet he is still bullied.  There are just a few mean kids, wherever you go.  So, I've asked my son to tell me every time he is being bullied.  And every time, I go to the school principal in charge of discipline.  And every time, she takes action.  The situation is slowly getting better for my son.  Please don't give up.  Kept telling as many people as you can that you are being bullied.  

Pamela - 44 - Arizona

I care because many people have commited sucide over things like this and I just want them to know it gets better. I was bullied, and it was really hard for me to deal with that. Even now it's STILL hard for me I don't get as harsh comments infact I barely get them at all but I still have that same pain with me. And im only 12. I was called fat, ugly, worthless, and I was even pushed around and getting into fights. But, that didn't change the fact that I still had hope. My family was not very supportive in these situations because I kept quiet about it. Don't keep quiet, let them know. Espeacially if it starts to get really serious! Don't be scared to better your future you have a chance! So take it. And hold on to it for as long as you live.

Gillette - 12 - FL

Danielle - 12 - Covina, California

i cant lif enimore with it

emma - 13 - belgium

I care because throughout middle school, I was bullied heavily. Kids can be extremely cruel; especially girls. I was called names, isolated, and even had someone throw urine on my clothes during P.E. When you are being bullied, the taunts that you hear on a daily basis seem to crowd your thoughts and you seem to believe that what they are saying about you is true. But I am here to tell you that they ARE NOT TRUE. We are all beautiful, wonderful people and we should embrace our individuality and uniqueness. Keep your heads held high! I grew up to achieve so much, even becoming Valedictorian of my graduating class! Stay strong you guys!

Hilaire - 18 - Mobile, AL
