I Care Because
I know how it feels to be bullied. My friends get picked on and I try to make the bullies stop. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. Just the day before yesterday, this boy called me "Josie-Nosie." It's a mean nickname they call me at school. I hate it when people make fun of me. It makes me feel sad. I've almost been bullied my whole life. It's not funny. In the beggining of the school year, I felt worthless and down. Everyone picked on me and it didn't feel good. BULLIES IN THE WORLD, STOP BULLYING!! It's not funny. I try to tell bullies that bullying is not funny. I try not to bully others, I don't because I know how it feels. WE NEED TO MAKE AN END OF BULLYING!! :D <3 -Josie

I have been bullied because my love for anime is "too extreme". People have picked on me for the way I run, the things I like, and the clothes I wear. It is not fair to judge me based on my love for japanese culture. I care because I feel everyone should be able to enjoy what they love and what they do without the cruel judgements of "normies". Thanks to PACER's, I have been able to feel accepted.

I used to bully, too ( 5th grade)- but I didn't know it was bullying. The kids in my class and I always made fun of the mentally challenged kids when we passed by their room because of the wierd noises they made. We'd imitate them, then laugh at them. I wasn't the ringleader, but I really don't know who was. When I realized that it was bullying, I stopped, but then started again, In 6th grade, I realized how wrong I was and stopped. I can't imagine myself in one of those kids' shoes!

bullying is something thaat will effect a person for the rest of their lives and has serious consequences. I knew a girl in high school who was consantly bullied. She would tell teachers, but nothing changed. She became depressed as a direct result of bullying and ended up taking her own life. Please don't ever let this happen to someone you know. Bullying is a serious problem and needs to stop!
