Some might say that bullying is survival of the fittest, that bullying is only words that can cause no physical harm, it is being human, however I beg to differ.  Human?  H-honorable U-understanding M-motivating A-accepting N-nurturing.  This is what human means to me. We no longer live in Medieval, Barbaric times, so why do we act like it?  I am the lead chair for my company's Diversity & Inclusion team and we cover topics like this every month, the reason is not only to educate people but to keep this topic and others like it at the forefront, to keep it fresh in our minds so we may always remember that we are human and what that represents.

At my school, there is lots of bullying. It really makes no sense to me because the people who are getting bullied are be themselves or minding their own business. and those kids are called weird and stupid. I stick up for those people because they don't deserve that. I mean do they really deserve being teased for being themselves? I don' think so.Even if you don't like them or think they are weird, don't point it out, let them be themselves and keep opinions to yourselves. Also, all of those bystanders out there. If you see bullying, stick up for the person being bullied. You know its wrong and you can't just stand there and let it happen. If needed, tell a trusted adult. PLEASE STOP BULLYING!!!!!

I am not a bully and I am not bullied but anti bullying is sooo important to me. I recently watched the video where the middle schoolers make fun of the bus monitor and make her cry. That's jjust awful and seeing that video really made me aware of what a danger bullying is. It doesn't matter if it's verbal abuse or physical. I just want to end it. It's serious news. Many people commit suicide and the thought that it happens a lot scares me. I just wish everyone could understand what bullying does to people.
