I am a strong person that hates when bullies make fun of  people and so people think they HAVE to be the bully's friend so that they will not get talked about. But it happens anyway. People like me stand up for people who cannot but just as a bully arrives they forget what i done for them and how i stood up for them. Just because the bully sometimes decides they do not like me. It's sad and i hate it.

i have been bullyed before by little kids. i finally know how it feels to bullyed. It isn`t right at all. i like what Jozlynn said, it was good that you quit bullying, it was the right thing to do. I will never regret it and you won`t either.

My best friend was bullied because a boy in my grade spread a rumor she was lesbian. Not only was it mean to her to bully her, but it was also mean because they said it like being gay was a bad thing. She didn't want anyone to know, and she was a bystander to herself for a long time. From that it got worse, until me and my friend stepped in, and I've learned to never be a bystander.

It's jus t not safe. I really don't like bullying. The words "Sticks and Stones might break my bones but names will never hurt me" is not true. Bullying counts the same BOTH mentally AND physically. So let's stop it together!

March 3, 2013 my best friend committed suicide due to past bullying. I've been bullied since kindergarten. All of my friends have been bullied at some point in their lives and we have made it a mission to stand up for anyone that's being bullied. Anytime and anywhere... I know how it feels to feel alone and worthless , so to anyone that feels that way, or even if they don't , I'm just here as a friend to anyone and everyone.

Bullying was affected  by a ton of kids in the US. If we don't act now, Bullying will keep going on. Let's stop bullying!

Bullying doesn't go away. Even if the bully stops, the words or comments or bruises will never heal. They leave scars that no amount of scar cream will erase. It's not a passing phase or right of passage. Nobody should ever go to school and feel like they're not loved and appreciated. The hardest part for me to comprehend is that bullying IS entirely preventable. So think before you and your friends leave that mean comment, or send that anonymous text, or tell that boy in the hallway he's worthless, or shoving the girl who's dating your best friend's crush into the locker. Just think about what you're about to do to that person and the scars you'll be leaving behind. Just THINK.

I used to bully people my self , when i was younger & than " I walked a mile in thier shoes " & I did not like the feeling. So I stopped & tried to get my friends to stop too. I realized I'm not the only one who has feelings & watching all these young teenagers take thier beautiful life because people dont't know what to do with thier life, hurt me a lot. & Then in school I watched bully documentary , my heart dropped. Kids taking thier because nobody wants to do nothing? You should not be judged because of who you are and what you look like. Were teenagers we all make mistakes but you shouldn't get teased or judged for that. " You don't know what somebodys going through until you walk a mile in thier shoes " Bullying should stop today, kids don't have to take thier lives for somebody to notice what thier going through. I apoligize, I never knew what it felt like to be bullied until I was a victim my self.

I care because when my son was battered on the school bus the school didn't do anything about it till I stood up.   I care because some times the people who should, don't.

i care because there are millions in pain and are afraid to stand up. They are abuse but no one seems to care until they are close to death.Thank you for giving me a chance to help stop bullying

No one and i mean no one should be bullied i care because iv been through it and in all honesty i don't think its fair to people to be put down called names ect. People are different if we were all the same then this world would be so boring everything and everyone doing the same thing day after day.I care because im a caring person also because i know hpow it feels to be builled it makes you feel horrible people should be there own people and not someone who someone says for you to be. Be yourself and be pround to be yourself remeber the only person you should be trying to impress is your self.

Bullying hurts people. I know this from my own experience, and from my friends' experiences wirh bullying. I was bullied because I absolutely love reading, people would call me a nerd. I really didnt like it. They even commented on the books i read. Also, boys on my brother's hockey team would make fun of my skating, but truth is, I was just as good as them. And once i showed them that, they stopped. Some of the kids still make fun of my skating, and it hurts. Just because i am a girl. Im just as good as them. Sadly hockey season is over now, but once the ice rink opens again, i will prove myself again. So dont let bullying stop you from doing what you love.

Cassie - 13 - Michigan

I was bullied in elementary school and middle school. As a 4th and 5th grader I didn't know what it was but I didn't like it. Bullying got worse as I entered the 6th grade. For 3 long silent years, I wished I didn't exist. I cried every night and prayed that I wouldnt wake up in the morning. In my sophomore year in high school, the silence broke at the wrong time. I realized keeping the silence inside wasn't doing me any good. I was digging a hole so I could bury myself. As a junior going on my senior year, I look back and see the damage I've done to myself and the people around. Now, I am willing to help my sister and everyone who is being bullied to break the silence and not dig a hole to hid in. Bullying is wrong.
Hugs to everyone

I am tired of having no friends, or having friends who dont care. It hurts, it hurts when you are stomped on and mistreated. Having no one to have your back. NEVER EVER hurt somene because it makes you feel good or you want to impress someone, it is not and never going to be worth all the pain you cause to a person.

i am currently suffering from acne, acne has destroyed everything ! from my self confidence to about everything else. In middle school you see ton and tons of girls put on make up to cover their acne and its sooooo tempting to fit in, but i hate to think that im just letting socity get in my way to become care free and just . . . happy. I did get sucked in to it, but since this week, I WORE NO MAKEUP !!! and im keeping it that way for a long time! I was so absessed with my self i havent really focused on my studies, although i always had higher than a 3.5 gpa, i believed i could have done alot better, with a straight a sister, you have to be challenged! So im on my way to a 4.0 gpa this quarter!

Bullying effects the lives of so many because people feel stressed and can suffer from depression. When people risk their own lives because they have experienced bullying. Bullying not only effects the the victim but also their family and friends. Bullying effects the lives of so many also because of the rude and nasty comments said by the bully. The comments said puts the victim in a position which they don't want to be in, and therefore they risk their life because one person can't control what they are saying to others!

Bullying is mean and nasty, it can affect the lives of so many. People who get bullied are affected in so many ways, some including; depression, anxiety, stress, sadness and anger. When someone gets bullied it can either happen online (cyber-bullying) or face-to-face. I firmly believe that bullying MUST stop because when i experienced it, i felt sad and useless. So to all bullies out there who think they are "cool" because of bullying stop and think to yourself. What's the point of bullying? To feel better? To become popular? Well your wrong, because you will NEVER feel better. Instead the only thing you know how to do is to make others suffer?...

Many kids hurt themselves because of bullying and their are a lot of kids that sit by themselves at lunch I bet YOU would make their day if you sat by them. And remember WORDS HURT.
