In class we're learning a lot about bullying and you hear all these stories and think 'wow this really is happening to kids like me!' we're putting together a bully awareness presentation and we're making a video. I hope it helps others realize that putting others down doesn't make you better, it just changes people's view of you, normally for the worse.

I don't like seeing people bullying someone, it makes them shy and insecure with themselves, and as they grow older, they prefer to be alone rather than making new friends.

Bullying is not cool, help put a stop to it and show people that you care. Do this and hopefully you will inspire others.

im poor,so yes i am made fun of. im chubby,so yes i am made fun of. i am short, so ya they make fun of me. i am very insecure and have scars from cutting. it hurts more because i dont really have someone or anyone to talk to. i want to talk about it, but the way they might react doesnt set well in my stomache. so i keep to myself. i try so hard to be strong and ignore the rude comments. but you cant ignore. it all just piles up in your brain and finally you break down crying. ive shed so many tears,i dont think i have any left to cry out. so,i care because it has and still is effecting me,horribly.

In North Carolina we have to do a graduation project. I chose Cyberbullying as my topic, wronte a 10 page paper about it and got chosen by 3 different middle schools to speak in ASSEMBLIES of 8th graders to tell how internet safety and bullying needs to be a MAIN concern by all. I had 16 students come up to me after the assembly to talk about their issues on the internet. EVERYONE: YOU CAN GET ARRESTED FOR CYBERBULLYING.

Bullying is wrong. And sometimes one person isn't enough to stop them. So let us unite and show that we care! STOP BULLYING!

I actually used to bully a girl like 5 years ago just for fun, but I didn't realized how harmful that could be for the girl , suddenly I stop seeing her and years later on messenger she told me that she was about to commit suicide because of me  because all the things I said to her, since that moment I realized it wasn't a game and it is something serious.

because a close friend of mine has developed a social phobia from being bullied in school. She rarely leaves her house now because she's so insecure about how she may be perceived by others. I hope people will take bullying seriously and learn how to show compassion, not hate.

As a person with a disability, I have been bullied and have other kids with developmental disabilities being bullied. It has made me scared how typically developing kids and adults take advantage and make life miserable for us, trying to fit in.

Ryan - 14 - California

I have been bullied through the internet, and until you experience it first hand, you don't know just how harmful, and hurtful it is - but by the time it has happened, it's too late. Be yourself and if someone trys to tell you otherwise, don't let them.

every person is special and different and good at something.  Let others know if you are being bullied.  A parent.  A teacher.  A friend.  Someone at  church or mosque or temple.  We all deserve to be treated with respect.

Teresa - 43 - NC

I'm very insecure with myself now. I've always been picked on by the mean, popular girls because it's one of their "rules." If you're not mean to Falon, you get kicked out of the group. They turned a lot of people against me, and now I only have one friend. I hate school because of these girls. I've expirienced everything from cyberbullying to being beat up, and the teachers do nothing. So I feel bad for anyone else who gets bullied. No one deaserves this.

Falon - 13 - LA

I just wish bullying would stop<33333

I've been bullied since kindergarten. People call me ugly and fat. Now I think I'm ugly and fat. Sometimes I want to kill myself.

Alicja - 10 - CA

Many of my friends killed themselves because of the bullying. I am not the same now. That is why I am against this.

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

i believe people that bullys need to have someone to talk to ,to find out whats happening at home. Theres something  thats going on at home  thats making they take it out on them becauise they want them to feel the way the y feel so they want be the  only ones left out and stuff you know

Here in Germany many teens and children are so concious of themselves and criticise others to make themselves feel great. In fifth through seventh grade I was bullied for my looks and personality. It was so hard to get through it, but I knew I would make it through if I believed in myself. I  have become so strong. I can just encourage everyone to be the strongest and most positiv you, you can be!

Aerin - 17 - /

i care, my lil brother who is a special child was bullied, i love my little brother. and i can't do anything cause i'm far from him and i really want to protect my brother from bullies, my lil brother was love in school, my family and his friends. i care for those who are being bullied like my kid brother, teachers and the school faculty members should do something about it. one of his classmates hit his head on the table, and i felt horrible just hearing about it. hope someone can do something. i can't just sit here and do nothing. 

veronica - 20 - CA

katie - 11 - wi

i was a bully once and i feel bad about it.

Jarek Henneman - 11 - Wi

Bullying is bad. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BULLIED

Stacie - 12 - fl

My brother gets bullied becasuse he has a cleff-pallet (Speaking disorder) And seeing how we're twins people like to pick on the both of us. It doesn't really bother me that I get picked on, but it bothers me to no end when it happens to my brother. We might fight a lot, but when it comes to something like that, I'm the first person to jump the bullys case over it. Since we moved to our new school he hasn't had any problems, and we've been able to meet new people and have new friends.

Linsey - 15 - AR

Me and my friends are bullied every day for being smart and normal, not boy crazy and mean. I have no idea what I did to these people, but they seem to hate me and my BFF Rach the most. We never did anything, honest. They refuse to work with us, call our names out, and call us derigitory things. I go to a Catholic school, which makes everything harder, because our teachers refuse to believe these kids would do anything. I wanna leave school so bad, and I cry a lot. I want to stop this NOW.

Kiki - 14 - NJ

I feel so bad when I hear stories about kids getting bullied. No body deserves the things people say about them. It angers me when people make fun of someone for being really smart, or when they are really dumb. Even if someone annoys you sometimes doesn't mean you have to make their lives miserable! Every one is special in their own way. Everyone has feelings and everyone wants to be accepted! If you are being bullied just know that we are all out here supporting you and you don't have to feel bad. Every one is created equally. No body is superior to anybody. Theres a song that goes, "let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me" if that was everyone's motto, imagine  how wonderful the world would be! I personally have never been a target of bullying, but I still care because NO ONE deserves to be treated badly.
