I Care Because
First grade through fourth grade I was bullied and everyday I came home crying my eyes out. My mom and the school didn't believe me, but one day my mom saw it happen. She tried to get the school involved but they wouldn't so she pulled me out of private school and put me in public school. I'm still bullied sometimes but it's not as bad as it was. I have a lot of friends now. No one believed me at first and it was horrible. I feel for everyone whose being or been bullied. Every time you see someone being bullied, Help. Even if you don't like the person, you need to stand up. Would you want to be bullied every day of your life and no one stand up or help you? Think about it.

NO ONE SHOULD LIVE IN PAIN AND FEAR

I'm being bullied right now. It's scary, and it hurts and the thought of bullying is always there in your mind. No matter what you do you can't stop thinking about it. I lost most of my "bestfriends" during the time I was being bullied, but now I know who my real friends are. If you see someone being bullied, SPEAK UP. Bullies cannot bully unless you give them the power to do so. TALK to the victim if you see them being bullied. Invite them to sit with you if they're alone. Nobody deserves to live as a victim. You're worth it.

I was bullied for years. Year after year I got made fun of. When I transitioned to high school I hoped I would have a fresh start, but I was just picked on more. I became a bully myself. I started making fun of others. There are many reasons why I did it. I had to feel better about myself by putting down others, I did it because I wanted the spotlight of being humiliated to be put on someone else. I didn't realize how bad it was until I made someone cry. They were so embarassed they went home early. How do I apologize for something like that? I'm going to stop bullying because I know what it's like on both ends of the bullying.
