I was bullied grade 4- grade 8 and in the first three semesters in college. I wasn't only bullied by the kids who I tried to fit in with but I was also bullied by teachers who called me dumb and useless. I had to face the stupidest people who used a parents' death to bully me. I care because I have nieces and I do not want them to go through what I went . I want them to show these happiness deprived people how they are stronger than them . Bullying does not only take in America it also takes place in countries like Pakistan , India . In other words , all over the world . I hope the best for everyone all around the world and hope that someday bullying does get abolished.

All my life I have seen people get bullied and it is not okay. When I first moved I was known as that weird girl no one wanted to be around. They started talking behind my back and saying things that really brought me down. It hurts. People don't understand that their words can really hurt someone. But now, 4 years later, I have an amazing group of friends and people who help me to look out for the victims and help them! Remember to always talk to someone if you need them. Your friends and family are the ones who will be by your side through it all :)

I was really troubled by the story of Phoebe Prince, she was a normal girl, who only wanted to fit in. But bullies hunted her down everyday. As we all know, she comitted suicide. Her life didn't need to end that way, and neither does anyone else's. I think it's really important that we all raise awarness of bullying. We can't let another victim of bullying go through what Phoebe had too. I really wish I could've been there for her, but now, I'm here for everyone else, and so should you.

I care because I was once bullied. This girl would always pick on me everyday. I hated being bullied. I felt like a nobody. Others must have been treated even worst. She would push me around. One day she said to me in gym"Do you want me to hit you with the ball or with my fist."I said neither because I was afraid of what was gonna happen next. I was scared then now I am not. But now she teases other kids. I am in middle school. But I never forgot I will always have friends by my side. They will always be there fort me till I can deal with my own problems I can now but it's hard to be all alone. And I will always be by there side no matter what happens in life. You should never ever bully someone else.
