I care because I don't understand how someone can be so mean and feel okay about it. Sure, high school can be a really tough time fore everyone but that doesn't give anyone the right to bully someone else because they're different. There are other, healthier ways to get your anger out. There is no excuse for being a bully. I want it to stop.

I think that bullying is unacceptable because I think that it is unfair for normal kids to be bullied like this. Kids with disabilities are usally one of the highest targets because people think that just because they are diabled that they have no brain or a friend well that it not true everyone has feelings and that they deserve to be treated right because they are just like us.

I was bullied before I switched class. I know how hard it is. I cried through four years of my life. The worst part was not having any friends. No one should have to suffer through this.

I was bullied in school from the time I was 10 years old.  It hurt me immensely that nobody liked me at all but when I came to live with my grandparents it all changed for me.  I found people who had things in common with me and I wasn't afraid to show what I was feeling anymore.

Celeste, 35, Ontario, Canada

I've been bullied by my friends, and i know how it feels like
They used my bad memories as their weapon to attack my heart, i'm being down for months, and i feel like i want to die quickly(suicide)
"You're egoist! You talk bad behind me so i don't have friends! Now i'm gonna give you the payback!" that's what he said to me
I am not talking bad about him, it's his own fault, he's giving us porn video, using bad words everytime, and, punching my best friend, and he's calling his mother to scold me
It is very hurt.

Now i try to fight back, and support my junior that being bullied too

Be strong, it's not your fault, they're just wanting you to be a scum, and they're gonna step on your head
You have my full support if you having the same problem like me
You have me on your back ;)
