I Care Because
I care because one of my friend who is a girl get bullied all day in school and doesn't do anything. She doesn't talk to her parents, she has no friends besides me, and has nothing else to do besides cutting her self. All i want for her is to be happy with her life, not being judge by the way she looks and the way she dresses. I don't want her life to end right then and there. I want her life to end happily, not ending her life short just from a person calling her ugly or she should go kill her self just for being "Different"

2 years ago, I was an ugly lookin 10 year old girl. everyone thought the other kids were cute. but actually, they were horrible. I can hardly remember it , but the thing I remember most was seeing my best friend laughing when they held me down to the floor and began beating me, that's why I care. IF ANYONE THINKS OF SUICIDE, IT'S NOT THE WAY OUT! YOU HAVE TO FACE IT! NOTHING WILL GET BETTER IF YOU LET THE BULLY WIN! ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO TO A BULLY IS TO MAKE THEM FEEL SMALL...AND BACKCHAT TO THEM INSTEAD OF COWERING.

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.

Bullying is all about who's popular and who's not. Kids get bullied for their clothes, race, athleticness, and if their social or not.One girl at school lacks ALL those things. Everytime I see someone bully her, I take the stand. Bullying HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
