Kids should look out for eachother, especially those that are bullied. Be Brave! You need to stand up for what is right even if you are standing alone!!!!

I've been bullied. Well, I'm still being bullied. It hurts. To hear all the things that they think about you, just for they're amusement. There's nothing I could do. I used to sit there and cry, and hope that it would all stop. It hasn't. I support anyone who's been bullied, or who's being bullied. It's a tragic thing. People kill themselves for that. It hurts to see someone being hurt. It hurts to be hurt, for doing nothing. Innocent people are targets. 
No one likes being bullied. Bullies, do it for fun. They do it for their own amusement. People talk behind my back, pretend to be my friend, make fun of me. There's no one I can talk to, except the guidance couselor. She doesn't help.

I am recently getting bullied and I know how it feels when you are getting bullied. Ive tried to stop this but it continues. Anyone who bullies just does it because they want to feel better of themselves. Ive done mistakes thats why they bully me and im going down because of that. I want some advice and talk to people who have the same situation as me. I am against bullying and need help if not I might end up getting myself hurt, but I am getting help emediattly. Thanks for listening.

2 years ago, I was an ugly lookin  10 year old girl. everyone thought the other kids were cute. but actually, they were horrible. I can hardly remember it , but the thing I remember most was seeing my best friend laughing when they held me down to the floor and began beating me, that's why I care. IF ANYONE THINKS OF SUICIDE, IT'S NOT THE WAY OUT! YOU HAVE TO FACE IT! NOTHING WILL GET BETTER IF YOU LET THE BULLY WIN! ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO TO A BULLY IS TO MAKE THEM FEEL SMALL...AND BACKCHAT TO THEM INSTEAD OF COWERING.
