I care because bullying is getting serious. People don't understand, find it stupid, that it will just go away. People would rather stay silent than fighting for what they think is right. That's where I came and tried so hard. And now our generation have technology that they can use to hurt, they don't even have to be in the same room, building, city, or country to hurt someone. When it gets to the point that people would rather be die than be themselves because they were hurt.  YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Everyone is, every part of you should be unique and you should embrace it. If anyone tells you other wise just remember, your beautiful, I think so, your friends and family do too.  Be yourself and please stand up, your voice needs to be heard.  Everyone matters and can make a difference. Even you, sitting there reading this right now.

No one should have to feel that they are not worth it or they are not pretty or handsome, they should be able to be themselves without people judging them or making fun of them. When people make jokes they're just like ?oh, it was just a joke, I didn?t really mean it? rightttt NO, we have feelings too? Me, I?m a very serious person, I can?t take a joke, but it HURTS me why can?t they understand that? I feel bad for people who have been cyberbullied or bullied because people just don?t seem to understand that EVERYONE has feelings, just as every other human being in the world.

i know what it feels like to get bullied....people make fun of me about the music i listen too, and what i wear. Getting  bullied puts lots of pressure on you... and bullying caused me to cut myself...so i care .

I've been bullied a lot when I was little because I had ADD and I was always pulled out for tests. I believe that this should stop and people should focus more on this situation. Now I try every day to make people happy and give people the life I can get and could never have.

Tess - 15 - USA

I was bullied because of being me I was called ''gay'' one day a girl came up to me and said ''Hi, everyday I see you at this table alone.'' after that we were best friends we did everything together.Then I started getting friends back i was glad we were friends we are still friends to day.

If this is happening "all the time," then you should report it.  A one-time incident can be ignored, but if your friend is constantly harrassed, this is bullying and it is wrong!

SPEAK UP AND BE HEARD DONT LET OTHER PEOPLE BRING YOU DOWN.

Bullying hurts alot. I know. Everyone is created equal. everyone is beautiful. theres nothing wrong with being different because different is good.Not bad. i think its better to be yourself instead of trying to be popular or the coolest. If you want to be the best that you can BE YOU, dont listen to the world if there saying bad things about you just be you.

Pearl - 11 - Flordia

I care because if others are getting bullied you can feel if you were how hard it would be. I've never bullied but I know how it feels if it was me and I have met people who bullied and it is just so wrong

He don't worry about being bullied.  If you see someone getting bullied, tell a teacher or an adult that wills tep in a help.  Or get a group of friends to stand up to the bully.  Don't be afriad, and don't let him get power over you.

Bradley - 13 - Georgia/Dacula

My son was bullied as a first year middle school student two years ago.  He was sexually assaulted, locked in a supply closet, and attacked by two students with little to no response from his school.  Eventually, his class schedule was changed and his assailants were rendered consequences.  However, the emotional damage was done.  Together, my son and I traveled the path of healing.  I also wrote a book which now supports prevention and healing for children who are bullies, being bullied or bystanders.

Everyone should treat others as they would like to be treated. You never know what can send someone over the edge and how badly you can affect someone by being mean. As someone who has been bullied and someone who has seen bullying, I know that only kindness can heal hurt. Nobody deserves to feel bad about themselves because of someone else. You can make someone's day or even save a life by choosing to be kind.

Lauren - 19 - CA/Los Angeles

I care because I have bullied and been bullied. I have a hard time on getting along with my best friend. 

Rachel - 12 - Seattle WA

Because I am the 2nd from smallest in my year I am bullied every day at school and I just want it to stop because it hurts so much

callum - 14 - london

Sometimes I find my friend being bullied because of what she likes or dislikes. I can see how much it hurts her and it isn't ok. I try to stand up to the bullies and now we have a non-bullying club that some kids in our neighborhood go to. I also know what it feels like to go through it, and it isn't anything that anyone ever appreciates.

Ashley - 13 - Texas

I care because people bully me they call me fat and it changes your mind to think this:

Fat                               You will never be good enough

                 You need to be skinny

                                                                         Everyone hates you
 

You will never be pretty or loved or cared for by another human being


         You are disgusting 

                                                               Stop eating fatty 



   No one deserves to feel this way even though I do.  You will probably look at this and say she is 12 what does she know. Guess what? NEWS FLASH age doesn't matter and I care a hole lot 

Jayde - 12 - United States

bullying can effect many people and most people who bully dont understand what is going on with the person they are bullying. I also feel bad for the bully because they might be having emotional problems and dont know what to do with the pain so they give the pain to other people.

Teasia - 16 - Michigan

I hate bullying, I have been targeted before and I am currently being targeted by bullies at the moment, I helped my friend through a time when she was bullied, and it was a hard time for both of us. Bullying needs to stop, because bullies can do awful things to people, mentally and physically.
