Bullying traumatized me into high school. I care because I now suffer from depression, anxiety, and body dysmorphia. I care because I will never make anyone feel the way those bullies made me feel. I care because every life is prescious.

in 5th grade i got held back because my grades weren't good enough, so when i got into 6th grade, all of my old friends were calling me 'failure' because they thought i failed. i decided to talk to one of them because she was the only one that understood that i didn't fail. she and i convinced the other kids that i didn't fail, my grades just weren't good enough. so every day, i always thank her for helping me

i am constantly being bullied by my "friends" and it needs to stop. they aren't all bad just a couple, but those couple of people can make the biggest difference in the world. you know what i mean?

I know what it's like to be bullied. I was bullied growing up because I was never good enough, pretty enough, thin enough, etc. They say that people who bully others do it because they're insecure and it makes them feel more confident. I don't understand how. They (bullies) know what it's like to feel deeply insecure so how does knowing that you're making other people feel just like you do make you feel better about yourself?

This girl at school gets bullied a lot,(she is pretty much the only one that really gets bullied)because of her diabilities(wich aren't that bad). I care because every day someone kills themselves because of bullying and I don't want that to happen to anyone I know.
