I've been bullied and have friends who get bullied. I stick up for anyone getting bully, even if I don't really like them that much. Bullying is just wrong on all levels. No one deserves to be so scared and hurt. Bullies almost never know how much the bullied person hurts from their mean words, social exclusion, gossiping, cyberbulling, or their physical bullying. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, deserves to be bullied. No matter how much you dislike them. Bullies need to realize we are real people, just like them, and we have feelings that DO get HURT by their bullying.

There are these cyberbullies on a writing site that have harassed me and my friends for a very long while, making hate accounts all about us. I don't want anything to happen to them, but there is nothing I can do because no matter how much I report these accounts they keep coming back and I am actually afraid for my friends and myself. Cyberbullying is a nasty thing that people do to boost themselves up, but no one ever expects that people that are harmed will take the next step against themselves. Cyberbullies and bullies should be cracked down on, but no one is doing anything for the victims. I have been the victim of bullying, I don't know how I survived it, but sometimes things go too far and someone should do something.

Cyber bullying is one of the most mean and cowardly thing one can do. It should be stopped, but this will require a lot of effort, co-operation from many and also alot of COURAGE. To the victims of this epidemic, stand up against them bullies! start speaking up!  don't let them be, report them. Not just for youself, but also for the sake of others. Imagine if you don't report them, they might stop harrassing you after a while, but they'll probably move on to another victim. Why should we let them do this to us? They are the ones at fault, remember, BE BRAVE BECAUSE YOU'RE TRUE.  to the victims: #staystong  lotsa love, xoxo
