Teen pop star Rebecca Black, who rose to prominence in 2011 when the music video of her song “Friday” became the most viewed video of the year on YouTube, is speaking out about bullying prevention on behalf of PACER. “Bullying is something that affects so many and it can happen to anyone,” she says. “I know what it's like to have people make fun of you, and I know how much it can hurt. I just don't want other kids to have to go through that.”
I lost one of my friends to bullying. They don't think that it hurts. Well it does and it changes a person's life forever. Like mine did. Put an end to bullying.

im being bullied. I t hurts like mad, especially when my friends dont do anything about it, or help me through it. I only have one friend i could ever rely on, and i find that horrible. I feel as if people cant stand me and they despise how i look :/ The one thing you cant do to bullie is bully them back. never do that because youll only get yourself into trouble. tell a teacher, or someone you can trust. The end of bullying begins with us <3

My Daughter Taylor gets bullied in school, she's had her head glued shut,she'd been bit, pushed off benches, called names. and made fun of the worst is that the school turns the other way and my daughter argues with me everyday about going to school. I've had several meetings with them and it falls on deaf ears. It needs to stop and more people need to take a stand against bullying. My heart goes out to all who endure the physical and emotional abuse of a bully.My daughter included.

When I was in 8th grade I was bullied, picked on, made fun of, and excluded from intramural sports all because I was not as tall as most of the boys in my grade. Each time the bullying happened my feelings were hurt and my self esteem began to go down. I now have a life threatening disorder and I have to receive counseling and medical treatment in another state, away from my family. I am also not able to go to high school like the other kids my age until I can regain my ability to control my thoughts and my sense of self worth. Bullying goes a lot further than just the day and time the negative actions occur. Please don't bully. Tell your friends to not bully people,and for that matter, tell any stranger not to bully. Putting people down can go a lot further than you know. Being bullied can be life altering. LIFE ALTERING. Please don't bully!
