last year a kid in my school committed suicide because he couldn't handle it anymore. I've always been against bullying, but for me that was a wake up call. I've been bullied before and it sucks. I don't ever want any person to feel like they are not as "cool" as someone else. We are all equal. It dosent matter how many friends you have, how much money you have, or anything else. I care because I don't want anyone to feel so sad that they feel the need to tie their own life.

i got bullied for 2 years i never did anything or had anyone by my side i was alone. but i do now how it feels to be bullied its a feeling that a person may or wouldnt understand.it can affect a person so much that it can get to a piont were there just done.and its very important to speak up, stand up ,or tell an adult.if you see a person getting bullied its best to do something tell someone to make them stop  before its to late.it can be hard but its the best thing to do.

i want to help others like me.I want them to know that they are not alone.
right know i am studying to be a social worker which i know can help make a change about bullying.
i hope there is also an agency which is open for bully victims ,which they can develop themselves through the help of persons  that was also like them.I was dreaming to help people like me by building an agency in each schools that can care and protect each bully victim from the ridicule of others.
