I Care Because
I was one of those childern who got along with everyone and would help the kids which were getting picked on. I would hang out with them and introduce them to other people. I have kids and this past month we had a child kill themselves offer being picked on. My children are to small to attend school til next year and this scares me. I am one parent which will stick up for my kid by any means.I started teaching my children to stick up for others no matter how different they are. If parents and schools could work together instead of letting it go like it hase been doing we wouldn't be getting so out of hand. I tell my kids people differ in every way imaginable, but they are still people and need to treated as so.

Witnessing bullying and doing nothing to stop it is almost as bad as being bullied. Stand up for your friends.

Other kids started to bully me about 4 years ago. They started to call me by names. Those names hurt me really much. Everyone starts to call me by the name. At the start only my classmates called me with it. Then everyone i knew in the school. Then people in my new school. And now.. Almost 70 different people had called me with the name. It really hurts and i dont know how i can do this. 2 years more an i can finish my school and forget all my schoollife. 7 years of being called.by a mean name. I often cry myself to sleep..

Getting bullied feels terrible, especially when people talk behind your back when you are right there. The girls I sat with hates me, so they reported me to the guidance counselor because they think I'm not cool, and I'm wayyyy shorter than they are. They said what I said made them feel weird, even though I never said anything that was as bad as what they said. The counselor called my mom and said it was all my fault, even though the girls swear at everything and talk behind other people's back every chance they've got. Now I'm in trouble and they are walking away feeling so happy. Now they look at me like they are better than everyone. The counselor isn't doing anything even though she knows the main suspect. This needs to stop.
