People don't fully understand what bullying does, unless it was done to them. Bullies think they're cool or something by hurting people, but they do not understand what they are causing inside of a person or they do not care. I care because this is not right, and nobody should have a right over somebody's feelings. We should make one another loved, not hated or worthless. This has to stop. This needs to stop. Bullying can cause serious problems. Don't be a bully. Stand against one. Get involved. Tell somebody. Who maybe will tell someone, and maybe that someone, someday, faced with the opportunity of bullying, won't.

I care because I get affected by bullying everyday. Just yesterday people were throwing food at me on the bus. People think I'm an easy target because I'm already hurting without them bullying me. People need to help each other not break each other down.

my son considered suicide because of bullying, and he is still bullied to this day.  If you see this then please pray an unspoken request on his behalf that he gains confidence, wisdom, self - love, self - esteem and the will to stand up to children AND adult bullies.

I was a bullying victims. Most of people will say that, right? I used to be one when I was in high school. But, now it's the time to not trapped in that ugly phase of life. Let's be and help those who are not just stand, stare and feel that someone deserve to bullied because they deserve it. Let's be one of those who ask "Are You Okay" or "Can I help You?" to another who is potentially being bullied. Just simply asking that, I believe, it's gonna make the others feel more secure because at last someone is care to them. I care because nobody deserve to be bullied because nobody deserves bad things happen in their life. And please don't be those people who wants to be powerful and seems big by making others feel small and inferior

bullying is not right, no matter what others say. everyone deserves to be treated the same, so if someone is bullying you stand up for yourself. they don't know the real, kind, smart, funny you. stand up for others, too! i was bullyed by someone in second grade, and it is still fresh in my memory. she was just walking into the classroom, and she said "is that your best shirt?" and i was really emmbarrased because everyone else was laughing. bullying is not a joke. help out. people need you. live. laugh. love. stop bullying. :) :P :D

I used to be a bully. I never seen how I was making other people feel till a couple months ago I started getting bullied. I realized and changed my perspective on things. Bullying is wrong. No one deserves to feel worthless and feel like they don't belong. Everyone has a place, never give up. Stand up and fight.❤  Bullies need to know it is not okay. I want to make a difference. I wanna help save lives. And change lives. I wanna be there for anyone who needs help and who needs someone by their side. I care because bullying is not okay.

I care because kids should not be bullied because they are shy or different this makes people unique and you should respect that. Do not bully to make yourself feel better your just hurting other people.

I get bullied and I know how feels THE END OF BULLYING ENDS WITH YOU.

bullies are just people that build up the anger and leave it up on the ones getting bullied. Just think, have you ever hurt someone.? I know I have but I found out that it hurts because I went trough it. Its sucks wanting something that you could never have, just one friend is all it takes to make someone happy. be the fighter and help fight to survive the challenge.

I used to be bullied alot for being myself. I want others at my school to know that they're not alone in this battle against bullies. Everyone has someone who cares for them, no matter who you are. You matter; you'll make it; you'll get through this, just stay strong.

Bullying is a life disrupting event and a very abusive situation for those who suffer.

I was a victim for 3 years in elementary school by a group of girls and I witnessed bullying now in my middle school years. I'm in 7th grade by the way and there's this boy who gets picked on and he's tired of it and he told me he wanted to commit suicide and that's not his first time trying. How many suicides is it going to take for people to notice words hurt ?

Cyberbullying is an issue that I care so deeply about because I was a victim of cyberbullying and bullying in regular school. To me cyberbullying can be a greater threat than traditional bullying because it occurs on a 24 hours a day and seven days a week basis. Like traditional bullying it can have a tremendous effect on a young person’s school and social life. It can leave serious psychological and emotional damage that can affect them for the rest of their lives. There is no way to completely stop cyberbullying but there are ways that people can get involved to address it and find ways to prevent it from occurring as much as possible.

I was a cheerleader in high school. It was my best friend who bullied me. She turned all of my friends along with everyone else against me. I would walk down the hallway with them shouting things at me. They made up lies. I wanted to die. I hated life. I couldn't see tomorrow. I eventually told my mom. She got me a counselor. It helped, a little. I now am here six months after the bullying started because I was strong and I had my mom by my side the whole time. I started high school being popular with tons of friends. I ended the school year with one friend. I am strong and no one should have that power over me.

Bullying is a serious issue, but everybody is unique. We all have something different our size, shape, race, etc. I was bullied and sometimes it feels better just to keep it inside and you think nobody is there, but the truth is the majority of people have been bullied one way or another. Go to someone trust worthy a parent, teacher, counselor, etc. When you are online or at school think twice before you say/comment something. Think would you want to be that other person.

I care about bullying and cyber bullying because it hurts so many young people. It can lead to several mental and psychological problems that can last for the rest of their lives. The years of torture and harassment may end but the emotional scars from it remains.

Ive been called every name possible. Dont just be a stand by. The person bullying me pushed me into lockers and stuff. Then she went to the princapal and she told him i was bullying her. And I get hurt and cry myself to sleep and it hurts.

I care. No, I was never bullied, but I have witnessed a lot of bullying. At first, I just didn't want to get involved until more and more people ganged up on her. Then, it started getting bad. She was bullies everyday and started to disconnect from her friends. She grew more and more depressed. She would never talk to me. I referred her to a guidance counselor, but she refused to go. I then later talked to the guidance counselor about what I should do to help her. The counselor called her to her office and she finally opened up about what she was feeling and how long this had been going on. I thought she was okay until she texted me saying she was going to do it. She was going to try to take her own life. I immediately got in contact with the guidance counselor about the situation and she was able to help her. The school got rid of the bullies, and she was finally able to live her life again. My advice is to tell someone, and tell them fast before its to late.

  I care about bullying because I was bullied myself in school from Kindergarten to the twelve grade. The bullying started when I first started elementary school and it didn't end until I graduated from high school. I was constantly teased and harassed everyday when I went to school. 
  I was bullied physically, verbally, mentally, and emotionally. I was teased and picked on for everything for the way I looked and how I acted. It wasn't easy to go through what I went through in school. I was called many low down names in school on a daily basics. I was picked on about from my face features to my body features. I was teased for being different from the other students because I was quiet and smart in school. Other students used to put their hands on me and they would hit, slap, and push me around on a constant basics. 
  The name calling, teasing, and physical abuse continued from grade to grade and it got the best of me at times. At first the bullying and teasing did bother me a lot but after a while I got used to it because it became a normal daily thing for me. I went through a lot in school with the bullying, teasing and harassment but I made it because I had people to support me and encourage me through this period of my life.

no person deserves to be treated like they are not equal to the next person. We all have our own stories that make us who we are and they deserve to be heard rather than taken advantage of.

Everyone bullies me by not sitting with me at lunch and everyone calls me names all day long everyday and I hate when nobody even wants to sit with me at lunch :(

Mary - 17 - Canada

I was bullied for over 8 years. I know what it feels like to constantly feel like you aren't good enough, pretty enough or smart enough. I'm now entering my senior year in college as a Social Work major in hopes of becoming active in bullying prevention not only in grade schools, but college as well. I hope to make a difference and have a ripple effect across the country.

Bullying can ruin someone else.One person can impact on someone else positive or negative.I want to try to make that impact positive. One smile, one compliment, one kind word can make someone's day.
