I care becuase I hate seeing people get hurt... Physically and mentally. Another thing I HATE about bullying is that we arre all human,but we are all different. People should not get teased because they are different. It is just so wrong. Even if I dont normally hang out with someone, i will talk to them or give them a smile. It really does help. So if you see someone down, all you have to do is smile, it could make their whole day.

I've never been badly bullied, but I am/have been picked on. I was teased a little by a few people 2 years ago. Now this year, it's gotten worse. I don't say anything, but my friend gets it. He will tell them to stop, and others tell me to ignore it. But it's hard. This week was extremely bad. I got called alot of names, in the class, where everyone could hear. They stuck up for me though, and I care because if people don't have others that will stick up for them, it's really hard. When I was being picked on 2 years ago, nobody stood up for me, it can make people feel so alone. So, that's why I care.
