Bullies think that they are cool by picking on other people but BULLYING IS NOT COOL.Sometimes bullies come from violent or disagreeable families or think it is the right thing to do but it is not . I recently have been bullied by a girl at my school but she has become kind of friendly now which i am glad of. She used to write my name on the board for no reason and be unkind to me what I dont understand is why she was nice to everybody else and not me . Nobody stood up for me but one girl who saw me lingering around the board wanting to rub my name off she told me that i had done nothing wrong and to rub it off so i did . I never have any friends anymore but i really like reading so i read in break time . REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT ALONE TELL OTHERS ABOUT BULLYING AND PREVENT IT .

I don't understand. How can people do horrible things to those around themselves. I am going on my 3rd year of being bullied and each year i stand up for myself by telling my schools principals only to get in trouble and be punished. I believe that the "no bullying policy" is a bunch of crap because in my opinion it protects the person who is bullying. It is wrong and life should not be like this.

I care because I was bullied. People wore pins at school saying how much they hated me. I care because my brother is 7 & is bullied far worse than anyone should be at that young. When you're in 2nd grade it's supposed to be fun to go to school, see your friends & have recess. Instead its about being tied down to be beaten up and choked. I care because I didn't complain I was bullied and 13 years later I'm seeing my brother be bullied. If I did something then, maybe my brother wouldn't be bullied so that is why I care. I care because I want things changed.

When I first started being bullied it ruined my freshman year. I have always been apart of the popular crowd and I had never been bullied in my life. But it got so bad I wanted to switch out of a school that I love. I never want anyone to have to go through what I went through. I care because NOBODY deserves to be treated poorly. I wish I knew how to figure out how to help the cyber bullying cause.
