One day I walked down the hall and my friend walked past me crying. I asked her what was wrong and she started sobbing and told me how she was being bullied. I had her talk to our wonderful counsler so things were better for her. WE NEED TO CHANGE<3

bullying is never okay.

A lot of my friends have been bullied
Juju, 13, California
I care because most people that are bullied don't deserve it. Bullying goes in a circle. And the circle is just gonna keep going and going, and there will be really no way to stop it completely. BUT everyone should do everything they can to help put a large majority of it to a stop. Even just the smallest things could make the biggest difference.
Ashley, 15, Vermont
I care because i've been bullied and really never knew the reason why ! I mean they would say the most terrible things, without a reason.... They would call me fat when i'm really not, they would call me four eyes, they would also call me inappropite words. They also turned half of my class aganist me. This is like 7 girls at the same time bullying me for no reason...This all began in the 6th grade.
