Bullying is a crucial thing in the world. It needs to be stopped and I think if we stand up and say something, we can really make a difference in the world. And for bullies out there, why pick on kids that are smaller than you? I really think that if you stop, the world will be SO much better for the kids who FEAR to go to school, just because they get bullied. I personally never been bullied, but my friends have. It was a boy (not surprised, no offence the boys) that isn't the nicest kid in my grade, but he made fun of them because of their race. What's wrong if you're a different race then someone? That shouldn't matter!

Ive been bullied for so long and I actually punched someone because it was  so bad. This should not happen to anyone so this stops here and now.

I've been bullied for as long as i can remember, whether it was because of my weight,height, or some other ridiculous thing that i couldn't prevent,i always remembered how that felt and how badly i felt about myself because of the relentless bullying, NO ONE SHOULD EVER HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THAT!That is why i care.

I have been bullied before. It's definatly not something that you can get over easily, and not many people understand that. For my elementary school carrer, I went to a public school in my town. I was bullied a lot there, but I didnt tell my parents because I didnt think they would have understood. In sixth grade, I started going to a private school. I was so happy because i thought there would be a lot less bullying, but I was wrong. One day I found a  very mean-spirited note in my locker. I had to spend my whole day in the dean of student's office... I wasnt allowed to talk to any of my friends. I dont want anyone to get hurt anymore, it doesnt make any sense to me of why anyone would even think about doing anything like this, knowing thst bullying takes away peoples lives. Its time for us to make a difference in our community. We need to start now.

Right now, my school is doing some anti-bullying projects. Bullying doesn't have to be physical, emotional, or cyber. It can also be social. What I mean is, leaving someone out is also considered bullying. I've been bullied a lot this year and I want to feel like I fit in. Girls will look over at me and start to whisper and laugh, and when I try to hang out with them, they just completely ignore me. I don't want anyone else to feel this way.. It hurts really bad.

Jadin - 13 - Washington

I have been bullied before, and it felt like it was never ending. I didn't want to live. But then I met my great friend Sydney. She helped me so much and I don't know what I would do without her. I just want to let everyone know, that someone is out there who cares. Just because you have a bad day doesn't mean you'll have a bad life.

When I was in the fifth grade, I was bullied to a point where my name was written on the wall, along with the boy that I had a crush on. I was terrified, and from there till now, I've been pretty bad with relationships, even just you're ordinary friendships. I know how much it hurts to be bullied; I ran to the library at my elementary school, sobbing. Now, I just try to stand up, because the person who's standing next to me may just be bullied sometime soon, and after that, I won't know what may happen to them. If that person committed suicide, I don't know what I would do with myself. Bullying can really only hurt people, both the victim and the bully. So I'm gonna try the hardest I can to stop it from here out.

Jeni - 15 - Wisconsin

One of my really close friends is being bullied and it's even worse for her because she just lost her uncle she was really close to. She started cutting not to long ago and she tries to stop and she can't. It brings me to tears evryday watching her. I told our guidance counsulor about her and she got her help. My friend has stopped cutting and realized the people that pick on her just have nothing better to do in their lives. She is so much better now and helps anyone with bullying.

I care because I was bullied when I was younger.At the age at 12 my classmates make fun of me ,because I was too thin,the boys beat me after class,they even throw chairs after me.Soon I stopped going to school,because I felt ashamed.There was no one to protect me.
In high school I began to gain weigh and kids began calling me that I am fat.I thought I was ugly,I was bad and no one wants to be my friend because I was fat...
It caused me years of self-convincing that I deserved to be loved and liked.
My teenage years scar me forever.I will always remember people who make fun of me,who insulting me...
But that makes me strong and I manage to overcome this...
To all the bullied kids I want to say-You are beautiful and strong and nobody will hurt you unless you let them!!!Love yourself and never allow other people steal you inner light!!

Alaa - 11 - Ireland

I was bullied. At the time, I was afraid to get help because the bully was using cyber-bullying against me and not physically hurting me, so I felt like maybe I was being over-sensitive. In reality, ANYONE who intentionally intimidates or harms you is bullying you. My advice: stand up for yourself. Get help/support from your friends and family. You shouldn't have to deal with bullying alone. Don't be afraid to stand up to the bully. If you don't stand up to him/her yourself, he/she will never stop. After I stood up to the bully, I felt liberated and finally able to be myself again. Don't just run away from the bully -push the bully out of your life.

I have not all ways been bullyed but when I was I felt so alone that I coudn't do anything to stop it. They wouldn't stop no matter what I did so I care about bulling because people need to know how we feel about being bullyed. Being bullyed is a serious thing you shouldn't be pushed around by people just Because they are bigger or because they think they are supeier. Sometimes adults may not take us seriously our not get us don't let that take you down you are worth it. the bullys at my school are bent on making my life as miserable as they possibley can it seems. I just want to punch them until they know half the pain I know. But I resrain myself and relax I act as if nothing had happend it has been happening ever since the first day of school. these bullys got me suspended for somthing I said yes it hurts to be bullyed but tell a trusted adult who will actually take action in Michigan they do have anti bullying measures but they are not heavily enforced. 

Mason - 13 - Michigan

I care because no one cared about me. I care about changing the lives of others, because I wasn't able to change my own. I care because I know what it's like, to want, to need, someone to care. 

Christina - 16 - Minnesota

I was bullied through school, it was the worst as a senior in high school. My brother (in middle school) was also going through it. No matter who we went to, no one helped us. The school did nothing because they had no proof. My brother and I were alone and picked on every day. I stand against bullying for those who are like us.

Kendra - 19 - South Dakota

Kadie - 13 - Pennsylvania

I've been bullied since I was born pretty much. I've lost everything because of bully's. I've cried so many times and they just never stop. It's been 15 years. And none of them see what they do to me, but it kills me on the inside. But I don't show on the outside.

Heather - 15 - Saint Joseph

I actually finished watching a movie and I cried for so long I didn't even know. I couldn't stop and I realized I'm never ever going to let bulling happen while Im around. So many people are bullying and I can't help but cry everytime I see something so sad. 

Jill - 12 - Texas

I was bullied before I switched class. I know how hard it is. I cried through four years of my life. The worst part was not having any friends. No one should have to suffer through this.

Sara - 14 - Sweden

i have been bullyed all my life and i would crawl on my hands and knees across onehundred miles of broken glass to keep the pain of bullying out of kids lives 

tyler - 16 - south carolina

I to have been bullied by other children. Because of my appearance and my country background. But i do not have to much room to talk because when i was in 4th grade up to 6th grade i always bullied the same girl. I" called her a variety of names i should not of but i guess i got what i was in for. Bullying isnt cool guys it doesnt impress girls or make you seem like a jock. Bullying is a reason for suicide. Imagine if the person you bullied commited suicide to day because of you. You would have to live with that for the rest of your life. So stand up and rise against bullying. And MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR

Robert - 14 - west virginia
