I've been on both ends of the stick. I've been the bully, and I've been bullied. People at my school don't realize that people change, and aren't willing to give the second chances some people desereve. I want to help the kids who feel like they have no one because that's all I wanted when I was down... was someone to be there and really care and that's what I want to be to someone. It's out of hand the way some kids are feeling about themselves because of other peoples opinions. It has to stop and I don't know what it's going to take for some people to realize it. But I'm going to spend the rest of my life being the voice of the ones whose voices are too shakey to do it on their own.

Bullying is silly. Who would have fun being cruel, rude or mean to someone? Being prejudice or saying hurtful comments isn't at al fun! Bullying must be stopped. And if any of you bullies are reading this, think abiut this... Why?

There is never an excuse for bullying.  There is no excuse for anybody at any age to gossip-it makes people feel bad about themselves and I am a victim of gossip and let me tell everyone-it hurts badly.  
Gossip is bullying and needs to stop.

Just because someone is diffrent doesn't mean there wierd it just means there more special. People just need to understand and take a stand because bulying is a big issue and no one deserves to be treated unfairly

ESTHER - 15 - SUTHAFRICA

I have seen the things that people who have been bullied have to endure, and it is not okay. No one should feel alone or not safe, wherever they are, whether that is at school or at home. I have friends who have been bullied/bullies, and I have been bullied myself. It is not an enjoyable experience, and nobody should have to go through it. 

Emma - 15 - Minnesota

I care because I have been bullied for 1/3 of my life. I understand all forms of bullying, and I wish to help those who need to be helped. If someone had been there for me when I was being bullied, things might have been different, so that's why I'm working hard to help out anybody I can.

No one should be made fun of for just being them selves that's just not right I was bullied and it isn't fun. I have a friend who was and still is being bullied and he's being bullied because he's gay. People don't just get picked on because of the way they look its also the color of there skin what gender they like and Many other reasons. Bullying is no just a part of life you can stop it

Asia - 13 - PA

I care because I was bullied for superficial stuff. My hair is red. This is because of genes me parents passed down to me, not anything I did guys. People say, "Gingers have no souls" or even that "Gingers will steal your soul". Frankly, this is not only outrageous but it doesn't even make sense. I no longer raise my hand in class very often and I flinch a lot when ever someone I don't really know gets very close to me. Bullying made me this way, I want it to stop. Stand up for others guys.

I never really goten cyberbullied, but i've gotten bullied. I want to help prevent bullying and cyber bullying because i know that it hurts a lot of people and some people even commit suicide because of that. Some even start to hurt themselves. At school, we're making a project and you have to choose something you want to prevent and i chose this. I'm making a powerpoint and i will present it later this week. I'm also making a poem about it and many other stuff. I want to help stop it.

I know bullying can be a traumatic experience and can occur on numerous fronts. No matter what, there is somebody that will be there for you. Sometimes these people may not be as clear at first, but, find somebody to talk too. I know that I have been able to help friends and family in the past because at the end of the day all they needed was somebody to talk to, and as a result the bonds that with those people that I have made are unforgettable. You're not a lone. Stay strong.

Ben - 19 - Ohio

Don't give up! The awful things people say about you and do to you, you don't deserve any of those things and I'm sorry it is happening to you, but don't give up you are worth so much more. You are beautiful, smart, talented, and ton of other awesome things! :)

Marissa - 19 - Arizona

Bullying is wrong. Bullying puts people down. It keeps them from being able to show there full potential. Not only the victim but the bully as well. I wanted to take a stand bu=eczuse I know that it is not okay. I thaught if I took a stand it might make someone else take a stand. Than someone else, and so on. Until finally everyone knows and bullying may begin to stop. Stay strong!
