I Care Because
Bullying is a serious thing. I've been bullied before and it hurts. It hurts a lot. It feels like everyone hates you. I even thought of suicide when I was bullied, even attempted it. My friends stopped me.They showed me they cared. They made me feel important. They made me feel like a HUMAN BEING. That's why I care. We all deserve to be loved. Love you all. Hope you take care of your bullying situations and inspire others!

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.

I care because I was bullied a lot when I was younger. I was physically and verbally abused everyday and even when I changed schools because of it, I still was bullied at the new school. When I was twelve, I started cutting because of the past and I still do... but I don't want anyone to have to endure bullying. There is hope. I hope everyone knows that.

too many get bullied for horrible reasons. It might as well be the same as war if you're doing that. We all are different. No one is the exact same. Even twins. So, I care, because we should all just really get along and learn to accept people for who they are. Only when we stand strong and united, can be make this world a better place from bullying and just be happy :)

Hi, I first want to begin with a short story. I was living in Sydney, Australia. My dad got a better job in Istanbul, Turkey, it was very sad for me leaving all my friends behind. I was bullied also in Australia but it was more worse in Turkey. I had no friends and nobody who was there for me. The worst part is it wasn't just the boys, the girls and unfortunately one teacher. I didn't do anything to anybody, I don't understand why people do these horrible things to each other. Everyone was jealous beacuse I had more money than they did, in English I was the lucky one but no one helped me with my Turkish in return. But in my new school everybody in my class loves me including the teachers. I just want to let everybody know that bullying happens all around the world as well.
