hi I've been bullied for these past 2 year now and I've tried to tell an adult at my school but they still wont take care of this situation. This girl try's to track me down all day long. finally my parents went up there and all that the principle said was she doesn't have to go to school anymore. This has been so hard to try to ignore. she also comes to my house harassing me. I want to take part and stop bullying!

i know what it feels like to get bullied iv'e  been bullied my whole life and no one seems to care because they think it is funny but  it's not i want every one to know that they are beautiful and when some one calls you fat it doesn't make them skinnier and when you get called ugly that doesn't make any one prettier so just keep on being you and don't change for any body if they don't like you for you they don't deserve a friend like you

People should not bully other people. Advocacy groups like this one are very smart to help encourage people to stop bullying. Bullying should not happen because people are who they are. We are all people.
I don't understand why people make people feel bad all the time so they can feel better about themselves. It is kinda sickening. This is why I care.

When I was in the 4th grade I used to get bullied, and the reason why I think that Bully's bully other kids is because they used to get bullied themselves and the only way to make them feel better is to bully somebody else. STOP BULLYING!!!!!!!

I care because three years ago i lost a close friend due to bullying. She had her own problems going on at home and when we would come to school we both would get bullied. We spoke and told many of the teachers and staff but no one ever did something about it.It got to the point of where she ended up killing herself.You never know what people are going through then to add more on top of it.No one should ever feel the need to want to kill themselves because of other people BULLYING IS NOT RIGHT!!!! and a stop needed to come to end bullying. its still very hard for till this day knowing i have lost my friend because of others peoples doing or hurt words. Im here for anyone that needs help or to talk to i Know what your going through and how it feels. Together we can make a difference and take a stand. This is why i care it shouldn't have to end someones life. No one should want to end there life because of this.I CARE AND I WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND TAKE A STAND!!!

I have been bullied throughout the entire time I've been in school. I was picked on for being weird and different then others. I was teased for always caring about others and family. I was hurt with words and those words caused me to do things I did to myself. I was tossed around the locker room and hit by my so called "friends". I had friends that called me names and it hurt me. I hurt my self and others because I thought it would make me feel better but it didn't. I have been talking to my family about it but they also caused some of those hurtful things mostly my sisters. Now my sisters are helping me and i have a family that love me for me. I don't need friends all I need is animals and family.

I care because humans do NOT deserve to be bullied. Everyone is equal. I think that we should all "treat others how you want to be treated." Follow the Golden Rule, and sign the petition! Why should someone get bullied because they're "weird?" They're only "weird" because you aren't used to it. If we all expected the worst, we would be pleasnlty surprised, and not bully anyone. 
BAD EXAMPLE: 
Girl: OMG you didn't wear pink like I told you to! I wanted to MATCH! Besides, blue looks so ugly on you.
SOLUTION: OMG, blue? That's, like, the BEST color ever! I love that color too! We're like cotton candy. 

See the difference? 

Anyways, I hope this message gets through to everyone.

I know what it's like. I've been bullied since I was in the 4th grade. It has just recently came to an end when I got in high school. It's not nice to be bullied. You feel alone. People say tell an adult, but most of the time the adults doesn't do anything. But when you don't tell nobody and it goes on for years things gets worse than it began. First it starts off with verbal bullying, next is emotional, then  physical, then cyber-bullying. There is so many types of bullying; and neither one of them is good. Bullying is bullying. It hurt people. It destroys lives, families, and friendships. A little piece of advice the people that bully you are more likely going to be family members or people who you thought was your friends. Don't let bullying destroys your life. Every life is precious.

I care because there is no reason for bullying. Everyone should be treated equally.

Emily - 13 - West Virginia

I know how difficult it can be because I've been there. It hurts to be bullied and I wanna stop bullying. I even started an anti bullying club at my school called Be Nice Be You. It has helped so many kids at my school and even me! We are the only school in my district that has an anti bullying club so we are going around the district to other schools to spread the word and educate the public about this issue and also let the victims know they are'not alone. Just remember everyone, Be Nice Be You!!!

I care because at a young age I was bullied by not only people at school but also people in my house. I was 10 when I started cutting, I always thought that no one cared so when I was 16 I tried to hang my self and a friend found me. She yelled at me and told me she was there for me after that I had to go through conseling it helped. But it was still there I was still being bullied, but now I know how it feels so when I see someone being bullied I speek out. I know it hurts and I wish there was more people who can really help and stop others from hurting themselves and to stop hurting others. Words hurt and some people just dont understand how bad they hurt others.

I care because nobody deserves to suffer from the torture of bullying.  I felt all that pain and survived. To this this day i do all all i can the ensure that everybody treated with the love and respect they deserve.

There are these cyberbullies on a writing site that have harassed me and my friends for a very long while, making hate accounts all about us. I don't want anything to happen to them, but there is nothing I can do because no matter how much I report these accounts they keep coming back and I am actually afraid for my friends and myself. Cyberbullying is a nasty thing that people do to boost themselves up, but no one ever expects that people that are harmed will take the next step against themselves. Cyberbullies and bullies should be cracked down on, but no one is doing anything for the victims. I have been the victim of bullying, I don't know how I survived it, but sometimes things go too far and someone should do something.

no one should have to feel alone or invisible because people are cruel in school or online. Everyone deserves to have a voice. Bystanders need to stand up for what they KNOW is right. Stand up for the person being unfairly treated because it may end up that you save their life. No one deserves being bullied, so stand together and end it!

It's always better to help out in bullying. It is so much better to be with others than to go solo. So try to help everyone and anyone. Also learn both sides of the story. The bully might have a sad back round and may need a friend.

Majority of my elementary and middle school years I was bullied . Thoughtout my life I was a heavy set guy and for that kids always pointed and laughed this was the worst feeling ever. Kids and even teachers yes the teachers I know it's sad but this is reality. The way I delt with mine was staying close to family. I know not everyone has a lot of siblings like I did but having a church family is just as good. The church allowed me to meet other kids my age And helped me a lot with bullying but it's always people there for you. It is true that you are never alone. And I do understand that there are some good kids and teachers out there I just hope that no ever will have to go threw Wat I went threw much love to all

bullying is not okay, and that everyone is a human and needs to be treated equally as the next person.

I care because I love you. Even when the rest are gone... You will always be loved by me. I want you to know that you have the world in your words. You have the will power to change the fabric of time/space with what you say. Speak up friend: use words of joy, happiness, and love living with peace. Love thy enemies, for if you feed them kindness, a shower of fire shall rain upon their heads. I tell you today and forever, don't forfeit your battles and run your race. Soon... soon your tired spirit will have the rest it needs; and If you need help, ask the right people and ye shall receive it. I can also tell you for a fact that you're not alone: As long as you've got love in your heart, whether it be mine, your friends', your family's, or your own, you'll never be alone. Just FOREVER know, I'm JUST like YOU: Loved. - Your Friend J. Paredes

I know what it was like. I had the strength to make it to today but it wasn't easy. The scars don't go away, you'll never get that time back or do a reset.

Really the only choice you have is to make a commitment today to work toward a better tomorrow.

Fabian - 30 - CA

I went through a minor depression myself, that is why I stand up for what is right at my school. My friend is going through tough times himself. He has no Mother, Farther or siblings. Everyday I see him, trade greetings, be friends. 

I always help someone in need. I help, I care, I befriend.
