I care becuase I hate seeing people get hurt... Physically and mentally. Another thing I HATE about bullying is that we arre all human,but we are all different. People should not get teased because they are different. It is just so wrong. Even if I dont normally hang out with someone, i will talk to them or give them a smile. It really does help. So if you see someone down, all you have to do is smile, it could make their whole day.

I think everyone is awesome and amazing...no one is a vitim except for the bully themselvs...we should help those who are bullied by not fighting but by telling someone its happening...if you leave it quiet,,, you problems only gonna get worse. I love you all as friends and hope that you will rise against bullying without fists and weapons but with that of the kindness of your own soul to speak up against it...i was bullied almost my entire life,,,a kid even beat me and i didnt keep it quiet,,,when i did, it got worse every day,,,i always got beat until i said something about it. so stand with me in the fight against bullying.

my little brother gets bullied all the time and this is his first year in high school. I am very worried that he could get hurt and so I talk to him a lot about being safe in school. It is sad that a child has to be afraid to go to school. I absolutely have no respect for people who bully but they need to be understood so they can be stopped. I caught two boys in lunch picking on my brother and I confronted them. They did not have much to say. I care because I love children and they shouldnt have to feel fear and teachers should stop looking the other way.
