I wasn't just bullied up until 7 grade but also my friends were bullied let me say not the best experience I kept all my emotions to myself and painted on an ok face I was also cyber bullied over winter break i started to cut I finally stopped because my friend said it was ok to be me I then it was the time were I found out my sexuality I'm bisexual and then I started liking my friend I still like her but point is if you see someone getting bullied be an upstandered be a thermostat not a thermometer again point is don't be the bully.

I care cause I have been bulied from the tine I was  5 and these girls still wouln't STOP.I told them to and I even spoke to the Principal and they still would NOT stop. It was an on and  off  friendship and whatever those two girls did they rubbed it in my face. I wasn't jelous but I was still being bulied by them, and they said  I'm a jerk for not inviting them to my birthday party (that was just with my family) I just want to stop BULLYING. We even had a police man talk to us about the issue and I just hope they STOP everywhere.Cause it's causing death to other people :(

I want my daughter to NEVER experience bullying.  I hope I can help her to be strong, confident and compassionate to everyone especially the ones who need someone to be strong for them.  It is wonderful to be different; have a variety of friends with different interests.  I sometimes think how boring it would be to hang out with a bunch of "me's"! :) I know it seems great to be "popular" but it is more important to be a leader - make the popular ones follow u!!
