Im a victim of bullying too.Its no fun and no joke.Getting teased, getting your stuff taken, and other people ganging up on you just to hurt you hurts, deeply. You feel like you cant do anything you look down on yourself.You feel alone and scared. But dont look down on yourself look up. Things will start to get better, yes it hurts to be made fun of and yes it hurts to be ignored or tortured, but you only have to deal with them through school. Once your outta school the bullying will be over and you can enjoy your life! And if the bullying gets beyond control tell an adult or smoeone and get help. Hope this helps someone! Love you all!!!

people dont understand how bad bulliying affects people whether if your the target or the bystander watching the bullying. personaly i have been in the postion of getting bullied and yes it does hurt but that doesnt give people a right to make someones life miserable just because they dont like them or they have something that someone else dosent have. no ones life is better than someone elses. stand up against it and do something and if YOUR doing the bullying then stop doing it!!!!

In high school, it is so vicious; jungle-like at times. Everyone needs someone to talk to when they are being bullied.

I am a victim as well as others. I have had a horrible time in  school and on the internet. I been called pregnant when I only weigh under 90lbs and don't even have a big stomach. I also have been called a W****. I have been called an alien, to short, u r stupid, or to skinny. It has hurt so bad before I have gone into a depression so big I almost had to take medication. I feel horrible for all the kids who just get bullied any way, shape or form. It is not fun and I am on your side.

I just read everyone's posts and I want things to get better for not just all of ya but all the other kids and teens that get bullied. I don't remember ever getting bullied, but I did reach a point where I would skip one of my classes because one guy was making it hard for me to be comfortable to express myself. I'm lucky nothing as bad as what I've read has happened to me. Reading these posts, I also remember my senior year one of the freshmen, who I never spoke to but I sort of knew, was all of a sudden angry and red and crying. These two guys were laughing after they had bullied him. I didn't see the whole thing, but thats no excuse to not do something about it. I still feel horrible for not standing up for him, I'm never going to standby and let a kid, teen, or anyone get bullied ever again.

  People always think thats it's not a big deal to be bullied. That everyone goes through it and it's just a part of life. They don't think about how much the words they say or the actions they do may hurt someone. I've been in the position where I've just wanted to give up because I felt like no one in the world wanted me. I still feel like that sometimes. No matter what people say, being bullied is a huge problem, especially if you're a teenager. No one likes to feel like that.
  If people stopped and thought about what they said for once and thought over how their next words or actions may effect someone, then maybe we wouldn't have bullying. But people don't, so it's here. But enough is enough. Let's stop bullying right here, right now. It's time for it to end.

A lot of people bully me
for being...
not cool,
not pretty,
not popular,
i agree with them.
i'm NOT cool.
NOT pretty.
NOT popular.
but i'm ok with that, because i have friends who love me. They say "Why try and fit in?" well i'm done with bullying, we need to put a stop to it, my close friend almost went ahead with suicide because of it. my friend maria said "nobody should endure this, because its our faults, and our quirks, that make us strong.<3" and i agree with her. Stop bullying, for the future of everyone, who'd want to grow up in a world like that anyways?.

bullying made me ashamed of who i am and my parents people made fun of my parents divorse and what my father did and i am now not ahamed of it because i decided to many people in my school used to bully me about it why should i put my self down.

Bullying is horrible. Noone should have to go through it. I was getting bullied really bad last week and it got that bad that I had to go and tell the principal's about it. Verbal bullying and cyber bullying can hurt as much as physical bullying and I don't think that the bullies out there understand that. Bullying is never a joke. It's a serious matter. It ruins lifes. Everyone needs to learn that so we can all live in peace on day. Let's try and stop bullying! The end of bullying begins with all of us. xx

My lil brother gets bullied. he is only 11 years old. weve had to get extra help with him because it got so bad. the lord didnt plan for us to treat each other with such harsh actions. My lil brother ended up having suicide letters in this journal i found in his room. 11 years old and he is already thinking bout that. that means bullying needs to come to a stop cuz its messing with LIFES. One day we will overcome bullying and live harmony with one another. My little brother means the world to me so lets all stand up for the rest of the kids that get picked on. if you witness bullying take action and do something before our youth crumbles before our eyes because as i see in the eyes of these kids that get bullied aroung i can see the hurt and pain beneath their skin all because of a few words that someone said to them. it sick and its wrong so lets do something about it.

Bullying is so cruel. Its hurts feelings. Bullying can also make people loose focus in school. It is not something to do for fun or on a dare. If someone says so or u hear it being spoken don't just hide or be a part of it confess. It is a way to stop and prevent bullying. 

Mercedes - 12 - MA

I've been bullied, and it hurts. When I was at Washington I went to this new school and the kids started pushing me around, calling me names and running away from me.  I've heard people saying that "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me," They do :(
I was always the last to be picked in teams and nobody wanted to sit next to me or even be in a gruop with me. I had a LOT of bruises that time as my classmates pushed my and hurt me.
I remember I was running to class when a boy tripped me over and my leg twisted, and then I fainted. When I woke up I was at the hospital with a cast on my leg and my mother was there and told me that my leg was broken.
My parents got me homeschooled as they thought that the other kids would damage my leg more.
I got homeschooled for 2 years until I moved to Texas,
I got to a new school and always hid my face as I thought that they would call me names, but then a girl came up to me and asked if I could hang out with her,
I now know that bullying isn't nice at all, it's cruel.
Bullying should stop, it hurts people's feelings.
We should stand up.

I wanna thank Demi Lovato and Teens Against Bullying.org for helping me.
Thank you

bullying is unacceptable because it can cause a lot of trouble.It can affect the way people learn or the way they act.It can hurt people's feelings.KIds should learn how to make peace and be nce to each other.By doing this it will mae our school and community a better place.This is why I care

I WAS BULLIED IN FIRST AND SECOND GRADE. FOR STUPID LITTLE REASONS, LIKE NOT BEING ABLE TO PORNOUSE THE WORDS WONDER WOMAN. AFTER THAT, I BECAME A BULLY. THE TRUTH IS, BULLIES MAKE BULLIES. IN THIRD GRADE, I STARTED SWEARING AT THE KIDS WHO MADE FUN OF ME WHICH ONLY MADE IT WORSE. IN FOURTH GRADE I MADE FUN OF THIS KID WITH MY "FRIENDS" BECAUSE OF STUPID REASONS SO SMALL, I DONT EVEN REMEMBER. AND IN FIFTH GRADE, I FINALLY BROKE DOWN ONE NIGHT AND TOLD MY MOM WHAT HAPPEND AND THAT I SWORE AND ALL THAT. I WASNT A BULLY ANYMORE IN FIFTH GRADE. BUT IN SIXTH GRADE, ME AND MY FRIENDS BULLIED THIS ONE GIRL BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS ANNOYED US. WHEN I LOOK BACK AT IT, SHE WAS ONLY TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS. MY ONE FRIEND TOLD ME SHE HEARD THAT THE GIRL CRIED EVERYDAY BECAUSE SHE DIDNT HAVE ANY FRIENDS, WHICH SHE HEARD FROM HER PARENTS TALKING TO THE GIRLS PARENTS. SO, I TOLD MYSELF I WILL NOT BULLY ANYMORE. BUT THE TRUTH IS- BULLIES MAKE NEW BULLIES. AND ONCE YOUR A BULLY, YOU CAN NEVER GET THAT NAME TAKEN AWAY. SOME PEOPLE MAKE IT A LIFES CHOICE TO BULLY. BUT NOW IN 7TH GRADE, I WONT. I WILL DEFEND MYSELF, BUT I WILL NEVER AGAIN BE A BULLY- I PROMISE.

I was bullied sence  the  1 first grade. My mom was a single mom and the parents hated her. And me too. They Thought I didn't diserve to be friends witht there children and such. I got bullied it went so far that a parent went up to me and started yelling at me. The daughter was saying I was doing stuff to her daughter when I did nothing , the next day she started laughing at me. Now Im still getting bullied in the Sixth grade. Bullying hurts . And everytime someone keeps telling me somehting it pushes me and everybody else to the edge . Its time to stop . Bullying . No one should go threw what I went threw , no one disevers it . I can't still remember everything they said to me. Words hurt. And some can't go away.

chloe - 13 - uk

:I have seen my friend get bullied but i dnt just sit there and let it happen. If you see someone getting bullied dnt just watch it get someone or stick up for them but dnt get urself in a mess... Not to long ago this kid tried bullying me and i didnt let it happen it started with her egging my house and her sending me bad texting , and then it went to me getting someone but not being a snitch about it... tell the person to stop and if they dnt get someone... Dont worry you are not alone."

Teneya - 14 - NV

I am currently being bullied right now. A girl in my 5th period has a locker next to me and keeps saying mean words to me. I decided to kill the hatred with kindness. I started saying nice things to her and soon she backed off. Hope this helped! Love you, guys.
