I have been the victim of a bullying situation. I have been bullied most of my life and I know that it hurts. My best friend and I were bullied for a long time by one girl at my old school. I was bullied by a girl at another one my of schools. I know that being bullied hurts and it tears you apart. It isn't easy being laughed at when you walk down the hallway at school. It damages you and its something you can never forget happened. It hurts you so much and you just feel left out. I know that being bullied is never easy. I would like to support other bullying victims.

all people should have a dream. People should not be bullied because of the the way they look or act. Your life is yours and you should follow your heart, and not pay attention to what other people think of you. You were given a life to to do what you do best and impact the world. Other people are going to try to bring you down, but you can stand firm in knowing you are special and you do matter. Each person in this world has a purpose so don't let other people change you. You have to be you.

I know people who were bullied. My close friend attempted suicide because she as bullied. Innocent people are getting hurt everyday, and for what reason? The satisfaction of the bully. Why should I let someone suffer when I know I can help stop their suffering? Why do I have to be bullied to do something? Why should I let others control my judgement? The answer is, I shouldn't. So I am going to be the change I want to see in the world.
