I Care Because
bullying is a mjor problem in our soceity today. I'm sure everyone in life has been bullied at least once. Whether you realize it or not. It made you feel some type of way after it happened. There has been alot of tragic things that have happen because of bullying. People don't understand what others go through in their individual lives and lack an understanding of what it can do. We need to stop and think about what we do sometimes. LETS MAKE A CHANGE!

I care because... I was bullied for four years. Being bullied leaves scars that no one can repair. Being bullied leaves you vulnerable to the harsh things in this world that can change a person and not always for the better. My graduation paper/project this year is on bullying and teen depression. Bulling is serious and anyone who takes it as a joking matter needs to look into the lives of those affected by it. Stand Up. Speak out. The End Of Bullying Begins With Me.

I know what it feels like to be bullied. It pretty much took over my life and I hate it. I don't want anyone else to feel this way.

I don't want people to get hurt.

I care because I spent my whole life in the shadows. Being physically and verbally abused... I just want to know that I can be me

i dont want to loose anymore friends! seeing pain and sadness once our love ones are gone, and even relizing i didnt know about all of their pain .. hopeing that i could of stopped it. i care because i want bullying to stop
Justus, 15, Kansas
When i was still a little kid I was bullied for being muslim, I was bullied because my language to them was "Stupid". I never told my parents or anything like that because I knew that if i did they would inform the principle and it would get worse because they never gave up if you lectured them. It was all verbal and even though there was no physical it hurts. When ever I see someone get bullied I remember everything that happened and the hardest thing is..when I try to help I get bullied instead.
