I Care Because
I was bullied all throughout middle school and it was unbearable. I was humiliated everyday by my classmates and I felt so helpless and defeated. Although it hurts to remember that experience, it has also made me stronger person today. It pains me to hear of how many kids are being bullied today and how many are committing suicide because of it. To anybody out there who is being bullied: remember that you are a beautiful person and whoever is hurting you probably hates himself/herself inside that they can only get confidence by criticizing you. Bullying is cruel and hurtful and it needs to stop right now!

i have been bullied and I know how it feels, it hurts very much.

...I work with a bully who targets people she sees as inferior, helpless, or vulnerable. I care because bullying hurts everyone: the target, bystanders, even the bully herself. I care because bullies ruin careers and lives. I care because bystanders in the throes of denial or fear often become unwitting participants and enablers. I care because people who would otherwise never bully gang up with the bully on the target. I care because people and organizations who have the power to put a stop to the abuse and harassment become bullies themselves when they blame the target. I care because bullying can happen to anyone at any time. I care because bullying is not against the law. I care because this insidious diseased behavior is as old as humanity, and it has to stop.

I was a victim of bullying. Between the years of Kindergarten and the 7th grade I was teased, taunted, and tortured. I'm currently in the 11th grade and the words once said to me have scarred me for life. The words play back in my mind like a constant cycle that is never ending. I've been permanently damaged by the words of others. I am a cutter. Self harm has been a part of my life since the 5th grade and I still to this day can not let it go. I call my cuts "battle scars" and I guess I'm still at war. I've suffered from an eating disorder and are now fully recovered. But I still currently suffer from depression. And all of this, because some kids didn't know how much their words hurt...
