I Care Because
I know how it feels to be bullied, and be the bully. I wanna change the way people feel and I want to help those who have no where else to turn. I want to be the person I wish I would've had when I was down.

I care because.... Nobody should have to live there life in fear. "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt" That's not true, words hurt! Nobody deserves to feel unwanted or worthless. There is a place in this world for everyone :)

I want my daughter to NEVER experience bullying. I hope I can help her to be strong, confident and compassionate to everyone especially the ones who need someone to be strong for them. It is wonderful to be different; have a variety of friends with different interests. I sometimes think how boring it would be to hang out with a bunch of "me's"! :) I know it seems great to be "popular" but it is more important to be a leader - make the popular ones follow u!!

I care because my cousin gets bullied all the time and I stand up for him. I don't like when other people get bullied and if I see it I will say something

my little brother gets bullied all the time and this is his first year in high school. I am very worried that he could get hurt and so I talk to him a lot about being safe in school. It is sad that a child has to be afraid to go to school. I absolutely have no respect for people who bully but they need to be understood so they can be stopped. I caught two boys in lunch picking on my brother and I confronted them. They did not have much to say. I care because I love children and they shouldnt have to feel fear and teachers should stop looking the other way.
