Everyday, I witness bullying.  I find it difficult to stand up for others, thinking that if I do, then I will become a target as well.  Now I realize that I would rather be bullied and help someone, than watch them having to deal with the full blow alone.  It is in no way, shape, or form "cool" to bully.  Do not be afraid to stand for what you believe in. You may be surprised at what you as an individual can accomplish!

I have been bullied my hole life and I have seen how the pain can destroy you and lead you to wanting to end your life. it was hard for me because I was a special ed student and was bullied by other in the same classes and in mainstream. teachers never cared enough and my high school experience was terrible but I can say wasn't as physically abusive as other students in other schools were and have been and still are sadly! I began helping others on facebook when I became stronger because I know it maybe hard but we can all be stronger if we continue to fight and help one another and never give up and together no one can bring us down and destroy us ever again! :)

    I care because I have been bullied in the past. I still go to school with the girls it's not as bad as it was because I told on them but it still hurts to look at them because the memories really hurt. The bullying got so bad at one point that I started hating myself and that led me to start doing bad habits and that just made it all worse. I felt like no one cared when in reality people did care. Bullying is a close subject to my heart because I know how it feels and its not easy. No One deserves to be bullied! Thats why we (this generation needs to make a change!) I believe we can do it if we work together. '')
