I care because...nobody deserves to be bullied, no matter how differnt someone is whether that's race, religion, sexuality, looks, personality, personal beliefs; everyone deserves the chance to express themselves and not be judged. Bullying is so "popular" right now when all it does it hurt people and cause pain. So take a stand by standing up for yourself and others. Who knows, you could save someone's life.

I'm bullied at my school. The feeling of people throwing comments at you or hit you, beat you or just ignore you, its making people sad. My whole life I was and still am bullied, I have changed school 3 times now and just can't come to a place where it isn't going on. You can't come to a place, school, country where there's no bulling, people don't know how big the consensuses from bulling is, they don't know how it feels or actually just what it is since they never self has experienced it. It's sad to see how society is today and what they all can do.

I feel alone alot of the time because i havnt got as much friends as when i did was in my other school and i think its because my friends have got new friends now. there are these kids at school that stick things on my back and i am teased because i am quite shy. they embarress me and i go red, when i go red they tease me about that too. im not hurt physically but i am hurt emoticonily, i dont want to go to school either really now because i am scared something else will make me feel worse.

It breaks my heart to see individuals hurting. Nobody deserves to be driven into sadness or anger. I've experienced bullying first hand throughout elementary school, middle school, and high school. It drove me to the point where I left public school to become home-schooled. I never understood why I was so bullied, why these girls were so mean to me. However, what I know now is that I want to help others. I want to help people understand that they are beautiful; that they are valuable and loved; that they deserve all the happiness and beauty in the world. I want them to know that they have power in their minds, thoughts, bodies, and words. I want them to know that they're not alone. This goes for the bullied AND the bullies out there.
