I know how it feels to be bullied. Others think it's not bullying since they don't see me show any negative respond to it. I know it is not easy, especially when the your emotions get involve. You start crying when your alone, and you try to hide it to not make a big fuss out of it. But now, I have learned to stand up for myself. There are still times that I get bullied though.
Jennifer, 18, Philippines
I was bullied in different schools due to a disability and it hurts me to see people being bullied for simply being themselves. Bullying is not cool and schools and parents need to work together to send out the message about how bullying affects people of all ages. Say NO to bullying.

Nobody deserves to be treated like that. Also if he/she is fat or too skinny. Also if he/she dresses different. Also if he/she doesn't act normal. Also if he/she is too little or too tall. Everybody is perfect in there own special way.
Elianne, 12, The Netherlands
I care because bullying is REAL and the pain that comes along with it is REAL. You would want someone to help/stand up if it were you. Right?
Stop bullying and stop the violence/pain!
Chantal, 18, CA
bullying can make poeple feel so sad and make feel down
dunayla, 10, school
im constantly being bullied in school every day. Simply because of being me, i try to keep to myself & basically i'm a loner. People don't understand me so they push my buttons and try to get me to crack. Im down to my boiling point but i know better than that. the best way to handle bullying is to take it up between the person who is bullying you & a guidance counselor. The bully may not be happy with the decision but its best for you. don't avoid serious situations like this because it can leas to worse situations like : suicide,depression,& anxiety. Do whats right !
