I have been bullied relentlessly over the past few years, whether it be about my freckles, my clothes, you name it. It's the most trivial of things that can hurt. I became suicidal last year after being bullied nonstop and my friends and family found out which was when I started to change my life around. I know how painful and stressful it is. It's really and truly horrifying. I decided to stand up against bullying because just thinking of someone else going through that breaks my heart.

I care because I was bullied about my weight until 5th grade and then I decided to stop it without violence so I told my teacher and she didn't listen so I asked may I go to the counselor and then she said yes I told the counselor and she gave him in-school suspension and I was never bullied again my message to people that are being bullied is you have to stop him/her from making you feel bad because if you do that makes them feel good and just do it more

I don't like bullying because when I see someone being bullied I feel real bad for them.  When someone is bullied they get hurt real bad.  I was once the bully and after I bullied him he was crying all day.  Thanks for reading

Joy - 10 - Virginia

I've been bullied and based off of my experience, no one should ever have to go through this much pain and hatred, because it can kill them, inside and out.

Destiny - 18 - Florida

No one should have to go through what I did. Bullying physical or emotional causes more and more problems every day. IT HAS TO STOP people don't realise how much damage it can put on a person. no one else needs to suffer

samantha - 15 - beachwood nj

I've been bullied too. It's not so fun being called names, pushed around, or anything like that, I care because I believe that we as a world can come together to prevent bullying from happening. Bullying is a very serious cause and causes much, much damage on the victim's life. I care becuase I too was bullied. Therefore, we need to stick together and be nice to one another. If you're the bully, take a walk in your victim's shoe and see how it feels to them. Why do succh a thing to an innocent person? Thank you for reading. I really needed to get this off my chest.

I don't like people who are mean to others. I'm in Special
Olympics and are friends with kids and adults with all kinds of
disabilities. I look up to a lot of celebrities who are against bullying.
I'm not going to mention their names to protect their privacy, but
a lot of people know who they are. I was bullied for singing too loudly
on the school bus. Some people say that it wasn't bullying....but it hurt when people 
would tell me to stop because they didn't like me singing. I don't know. All I know is that
I'm against bullying.

I care because I used to be bullied and bullying is not fun.  Think about it would you want to be bullied?

Quenton - 13 - Ohio

I'm tired of seeing people losing because of people taking it too far. I was a victim of bullying too! But, without knowing it I was a bully for a short period of time because of anger and regret everything from it. That's why I'm praying, asking and begging for a chance to make up for my mistakes by joining the next generation that could be the end of bullying. Now let me say something for you bully fighters out there. Destiny, fate, dreams! These unstoppable ideals are held deep in the heart of man. As long there are people who seek freedom in this life, these things shall not vanish from the Earth. So don't stop fighting for the freedom you seek even after the end of bullying. Thank you for listening!

It breaks my heart that people get bullied,including me. I don't understand why people think its ok to hurt someone from the inside and out.I never want anyone to have to face bullying. we are all different. Everyone judges someone even if they don't know the person. You should get to know someone before hating on them.Bullying is a very serious thing in this world. If you see someone getting picked on in school or out of school you should take a stand and help them[or even go get help]. I know its not easy doing that but it makes a big difference for the person. also it makes you feel like you have done the right thing and not be the one just watching, doing nothing about it. Make a stand. I have come to realization that i can't keep letting people bully me or others. Its not right. I am taking a Stand!!!!!!DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

I was bullied since the beginning of school and even after I graduated high school. No one should have to go through the pain and stress that bullying causes. I have a hearing impairment so I wear hearing aids,when people see hearing aids they know you are different. Now  that I have graduated high school I have to live with flashbacks,nightmares and even a fear of people. I don't have many friends and the friends I have are the only ones I trust. Bullying is a traumatic thing that needs to be stopped before another person dies. I being a bullying victim care because no one should have to live through what I had to.

There is so many people i know who have to hide who they are just because he or she doesnt follow what the girls and guys do at my school. They have to hide themselfs because kids dont know how to be nice to people who look , dress or act differently . I know someone who is un happy with his/her school life and all he/she wants is for people to put in cameras in classrooms because thats were bullying is when teachers turn there back . All teens talk about is if they dress wierd or are a little quiet . Teen girls are cruel and so are the guys . There needs to be stuff done other then assemblies because teens in hih schools dont listen . Something to make all those kids like my friend who feel like anywhere they go they can be themselfs without being hurt by words or eyes staring .

I used to be a bully. In my mind I didnt call it bullying. Now i look back at it and think how horrible I acted over childish things. Now I am 18 an I swear that I will be helpful. I am the end to bullying 

Kenzy - 18 - Indiana

When I was in junior high school, i was bullied and harassed because of my weight and my looks. My teeth weren't always perfect or white like everyone else's. I was also bullied for liking horses and anything else i liked.  It got so bad that i ended up having my parents come up to the school and my doctor to give me a medication to calm me down because i hated going. I remember one day coming home on the bus and some kid says 'oh there's a dog on the bus' meaning me. that HURT. I cried and called my best friend. the main thing was i had family who cared about me and friends. 

When you bully someone you have NO idea how badly that it hurts them. Why do you do it? To feel better about yourself? To make others feel inferior? either way bullying has to STOP. Its horrible and not right. More people need to get involved in this and end bullying once and for all because this causes real damage to people and it HURTS them. Words really do hurt. i'm 33 now, and let me tell you.  i dont miss those bullies in school. HS was awesome. i loved it and had a lot of friends. If you feel you're being bullied/harassed, tell your parents immediately. if you get depressed, also get help. remember there are people that love you and there's nothing wrong with YOU.
