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.

I know what it's like to feel low after someone has put you down. Everything has been nearly perfect in my life until this year bullies at school. From this message forward, I'm telling you to not care, and don't buy into the pressure. The bullies that got away, will get karma. Lucklily my bullies play mind games, give me looks, call me names, etc. I'm just telling you that the key is to not care, keep moving forward.

Everyday when I see this kid, he calls me pinoccho because i have a long nose. And he is a bully to everyone, and im taller than him so everyone excpects me to not be threatend by him, but it still hurts and i don't like to fight.

Bullying is a REALLY serious issue! When I was younger, I was bullied for many reasons. I can't even remember them now. Even now, years later, I have trouble with self-esteem issues. I don't want other people to feel like I do! Just because someone might do something a little differently doesn't make them weird. It makes them unique. Anti-bullying month is a perfect time to celebrate what makes everyone special; that's what I'm trying this year. :D Bullying hurts a lot of people. That's why I care.
