So growing up in a small town, I was one of the only people who was bigger, I was not very smart, I was not very popular, and people treated me like I was just a nobody. My whole life I have had those people call me fat, stupid, worthless, I have had them tell me to kill myself, say I would not be missed if I was gone, call me ugly. Honestly there is not a single more harmful thing in this world then bullying. People need to see how much it can hurt someone, and not only that one person but many other people around them, due to those people I grew up with, I will now forever have a part of me feel that what they said was true, and that will forever affect me, and my friends, and my family. it will one day affect my future husband and children, and those people who called me names never willl know who they have affected beyond the person they once knew. well now I am a strong person, I love my family and friends, I have alot of friends, many people find my outgoing personality wonderful and I love making people smile. I have got myself a great career, and I am making a great life for myself. So I proved those people wrong. bullying needs to stop!

hi my name is chasity and i just read a story in Seventeen magazine about a girl named Phoebe Prince that was born the year i was a killed her self because of peoples rude comments. And so i read on and saw this web site 
and saw that demi lovato was the spokesperson for teens against bullying and im here to say that i absoulutly agree i was in nineth grade last year and i saw how rude comments can bring down someone ego just because some kids have no heart and dont care. i also saw people pick fight because they just wanted to even tho that person didnt do anything to them. im takeing her story i my opion to my school administrator and see if this virbule and pyscial abuse can be stoped. i never knew i could intill i heard that. my love and care goes out to phoebe princes family!!

Not one person deserves to be bullied EVER.  I get bullied ALL the time.   I don't know why but i have this one friend thats less popular and you know we get along fine.  And she's bullied all the time because she has a little more meat on her bones then i do.  I get bullied because i'm ugly and i tend to say um all the time.  one of my best friends is accutully one of the most popular girls in school.  Everytime i go around her when her friends are around they tell me to get lost or something.  so now we hardly talk in school and the only time we talk is on email or we text eachother.  so thats what bullying can do to you! oh and one time i told one of my favorite teachers about these kids that were making fun of me .So i asked her to move my seat and she goes "no they sit like 5 seats away from u there not bullying u".    WHY CANT THIS END!!  IF YOU ARE A BULLY I SUGGEST U STOP BEFORE THE NEW ANTI BULLYING LAW COMES OUT IN 2012 OR YOU'LL GET SUSPENDED OR IF ITS THAT SERIOUS GO TO JAIL!  STOP IT RITE NOW!  KIDS HAVE TAKEN THERE LIVES BECAUSE OF IT.  SO STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
