I Care Because
Other kids started to bully me about 4 years ago. They started to call me by names. Those names hurt me really much. Everyone starts to call me by the name. At the start only my classmates called me with it. Then everyone i knew in the school. Then people in my new school. And now.. Almost 70 different people had called me with the name. It really hurts and i dont know how i can do this. 2 years more an i can finish my school and forget all my schoollife. 7 years of being called.by a mean name. I often cry myself to sleep..

I dont get bullied now but as a young child i had a neighborhood bully. He would always pick on me because i was little. Now im kind of popular at my school and i notice some of my friends bullying some kids. I want to stop it but i fear that'll happen to me. I know how they must feel because i felt the same way. Defenseless, vulnerable, and scared. I speak out now and i try to defend the person getting bullied. Bullying will never happen when im around!!

I care because every single person should be allowed to just be themselves. I care because every single person should be allowed to grow and prosper in a safe environment - without fear. I care because all of you on this site have taken a step forward, shared your stories and are strong for doing so. I care because you are all willing to take a stand on bullying - a stand that is summed up in three words - Bullying Must Stop!

In 5th grade I felt like no one cared about me because I bullied.I was bullied because the way I looked and the that I was always the last one done doing math cause I didn't understand math very well.When I was bullied because of my looks I wanted to change myself.

I got bullied too. I know what it feels like and i know what they're going through. I want to be able to help when someone is going through this crap. I want them to feel like they are loved and that they fit in and that they are good enough.
