It's not fair that a place where you go to learn (school) is filled with pople that want to make others feel bad. I want to help stop bullying, because I know what it's like. I have friends and my bullying was minor (in elementary), only because i stuck up for myslef. Some people don't have that ambition and courage to  speak up, but I want to be their voice along with many others who will join me. Bullying is just wrong and it should be stopped.

my son was bullied from elementary school to the present (9th grade). He is now in an alternative school at night and hates it. He justs wants to be like every other kid. He hates it so much, he wants to go back to the high school where he was being bullied, even though he knows it will continue. I feel helpless to stop this nightmare. I too was bullied in school and fought back against my attackers, both verbally and physically, for years and it wasn't till I left that school, that it all stopped.
I wish I could help my son to stop the abuse, but he says I would just make matters worse for him.

I care because one of my friend who is a girl get bullied all day in school and doesn't do anything. She doesn't talk to her parents, she has no friends besides me, and has nothing else to do besides cutting her self. All i want for her is to be happy with her life, not being judge by the way she looks and the way she dresses. I don't want her life to end right then and there. I want her life to end happily, not ending her life short just from a person calling her ugly or she should go kill her self just for being "Different"

I too was a victim of bullying during my elementary to middle school years and I believe that no child needs to live in fear of their peers, in fear of going to school because they will be hurt that day, nobody deserves to mistreated for any reason. It needs to stop.

 People do care. I care. All though I don't know who you are, I know that no one deserves to be treated that way. Keep in mind that you are not the only one and that if you ask, people will help you.

Stay strong.

I have been through so many scenerios and I have seen what some of the stuff I have been put through reflect on other people, and I wonder how much stronger they are because of it. I have been cyberbullied, verbally bullied, physically bullied and pretty much everything else. But it really starts to scare me when I start to believe the things those cruel people say about me. This year has been a major fall through for me and I really am learning from it. Girls are harsh, and I have come to learn that whatever you say, whatever you do, what you wear can make them go after you in a second. I have been depressed, lonely, friendless and I still try to see the bright side of my situation everyday. One time, in math class this year I even wrote a note saying that I didn't want to live anymore, it was so tempting. I saw it as a way to escape all this pain that these people had inflicted on me. And just me. I thank my parents everyday though for helping me every step of the way to a better & healthier life. I know it may seem hard but teens really need to have a trusting relationship with a parent or guardian because they can actually really help your cause. I believe no person should have to experience the true pain known as bullying. Ever.

A kid in my class is always being bullied. The boys don't listen to me when I say anything, they just try to flirt. I hate watching it happen and I just wish it would stop. I'm sure every bully would hate for what they do to other people to happen to them. We all deserve respect and happiness.

I was bullied. I was in a bad place before i was being bullied & i was trying to get better. I have a best friend who lives in CT. when i moved out to NV she got bullied hard core. She is currently suicidal because all of our old friends left her. Im across the country & she is like a sister to me. I love her & i cant lose her. IM TAKING A STAND FOR HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kait - 12 - Nevada

I cant stand the way people can bully other people. Me thinking about it makes me want to cry. To all the people being bullied, theres hope. In darkness theres always light. Please dont commit suicide. Those people are bullying you because thier jealuos. I was bullied because i didnt have the right clothes or the right hair style. When i told my mom, she said im beautiful and those little girls are just jealous. I kept being myself and everyone started following the way i looked. So please dont let them put you down. Your a diamond that just needs the right light to sparkle:-)

I know how it feels to be bullied. My friends get picked on and I try to make the bullies stop. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Just the day before yesterday, this boy called me "Josie-Nosie." It's a mean nickname they call me at school. I hate it when people make fun of me. It makes me feel sad. I've almost been bullied my whole life. It's not funny. In the beggining of the school year, I felt worthless and down. Everyone picked on me and it didn't feel good. BULLIES IN THE WORLD, STOP BULLYING!! It's not funny. 
I try to tell bullies that bullying is not funny. I try not to bully others, I don't because I know how it feels. WE NEED TO MAKE AN END OF BULLYING!! :D <3

Haivyn - 13 - California

I have been bullied all my life. Whether or not some people can see it, I have and I know what it's like to feel like the smallest person in the world. Including my friends who have made me feel this way, I would do bad things such as self-harming myself. I care because I've been there, still am here, and we should all stand together.

Samantha - 15 - Ohio

elementary to middle school was torture. being over-weight, having bad acne and being a quiet person was "wrong". i had rocks thrown at me. from the age of 12-15 i was suicidal and cutting. why because bullies made me feel like scum, when really they're the ones acting like scum. no one is better than anyone else. i promise though, if you stick it out, it gets better. when you become an adult those petty things don't matter anymore. it's time teens realized that at a young age...before the bullied become the bullies, before someone else dies because they can't take it anymore. it's time to teach these kids compassion and understanding, like i was taught from a young age. i care because our children, nieces and nephews, cousins and friends are hurting...we all have to change and stand up, let everyone know this is wrong.

This is to anyone who's ever felt bullied. Please don't worry about who loves you and who doesn't. The best thing you can do is to love yourself. Loving your self is one of the greatest things in life. Once you do that you will find your self happier. Don't worry if you are different from anyone else. Just think of your self as unique and one of a kind which is priceless. Don't worry about being black, white, yellow, brown, straight, gay, bi, etc. No one came into this world with a label, so why go thru life with a label. We all are one of a kind so live your life the way you see fit. You owe your life to no one but yourself. Free yourself to be yourself. Life is too short so be happy and love yourself.

I've never really been bullied but I have seen it take place. I've learned alot from research and experience, that it is one of the worst feelings ever. I feel like most people bully because they have nothing better to do, and putting people down will help them gain confidence.. Bystanders have the most power.. Telling an adult can save a life, and alot of struggle. Most people probably don't see bullying as a problem but, it's serious. And, it continues to worsen each day it takes place. No one deserves to be bullied or harrassed in any way at all. You have the right to feel safe wherever you are. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, don't avoid it. It's unhealthy to hold in pain. Tell an adult.. You're reactions can make a difference.

Bullying is sick and mean. I hate it when people make fun of you all the time just because you're different then everyone else. This morning my brother was making fun of me. Sometimes I let it go. Sometimes I can't. I break down and cry. I used to make fun of people. Now I'm a new me. I help people who are getting bullied. Hey, it's worth it. Some people can be mean. Others nice. My friend Sam is nice. She gets bullied all the time and sometimes she doesn't say a thing. I feel bad for her. I help her out as musch as I can because my friends are like family. You help out your family as much as you can. Bullying needs to stop! It makes people feel bas about themselfs. :(

When I was in middle school, and high school as well, I was severely bullied. They told me I wasn't good enough, they went to my house and started to say hurtful things through my entrance door. They also prank called me every day of the week. I had such a low self-esteem, I cried myself to sleep every night, I was always in pain, crying, suffering. They also bullied my parents, saying such horrible things about them as well. Bullying is not just only getting beaten up by someone, or taking your money from you. Words do hurt cause they hurt me. Every time I hear someone is being bullied, I compare my experience to them. To understand what bullying really is, you must go through it first. Everyone told me to get over it, but it's not that easy. This is something that stays with you forever, and it affects people in many different ways. For example, I can't talk about my bullying experience without breaking into tears, like I'm doing right now. To stop bullying, I was part of a campaign in school. I explained others how bad bullying is so they don't do it. So please, many people have been hurt because of this. Some people manage to go through it like I did, but others don't. So don't say bad things to people just to have a smile on your face, i pity that.
