I care because I was bullied. I care because I have seen what bullying does to people. My sister and many of my friends were bullied by these "friends" I used to have. They were very mean, they used to pick and say mean things about her when I wasn't there. My sister ended up getting hurt and never told me. After I figured it out they started picking on me as well, telling other people to not hang out with me because I was mean and rude, they made me feel like a was a bad person. My parents found out and we moved. I don't know where they are or what they are doing but I am hoping that they will no longer cause harm to other people and learn that it is better to be kind.

I go to Russellville High School and we have created the Peace Club. This is group of young students, including me, wanting to make a change in our high school. Our club is to show tolerance with other people. One topic we have in our club is bullying. I really care about this topic because so many people are bullied physically and verbally. NO ONE deserves this. We are all equal and should treat each other how we want to be treated. And I know everyone has felt bullied at one time or another.  The only thing is I don't exactly know how to get the word out about bullying past our club. I was just wondering how we could make a big impact outside of the group that already cares. I want everyone to care because IT IS a big deal.  We could save many kids lives.

I know what it feels like to be alone, to feel worthless and to be hurt. I've been bullied for 3 years, and the 3 years after that weren't any easier. I got into a depression, I was on the verge of killing myself for a long, long time. I was one of the lucky people that learned to live, I am one of the lucky ones still being alive. But there's so many people out there that don't have the strength I have, and it feels terrible knowing I probably can't help them.
