I Care Because
I care because bullying isn't right in any moral way. A long time ago, I was in middle school. Every day I was bullied because I was different. Yes, I read a LOT and yes, I was a nerd. But I didn't let bullying stop me. I was in control of that sitation and only I could stop it. So, I went to my guidance counseler and told her the things that were said to me. To this day, no more bullying has happened to me.

I've been bullied since I started preschool. And it was all because I didn't have the coolest bows in my hair. I'm in 7th grade now, and I get bullied worse than ever. All but two of my friends have left me. Ever since I told them about my depression and self harming issues, they have been calling me names and made me feel like I'm not worth anything. I care because no matter what, there will be people who don't like you. But I care about you, more than you think.

I care because I was bullied a lot when I was younger. I was physically and verbally abused everyday and even when I changed schools because of it, I still was bullied at the new school. When I was twelve, I started cutting because of the past and I still do... but I don't want anyone to have to endure bullying. There is hope. I hope everyone knows that.

People do care. I care. All though I don't know who you are, I know that no one deserves to be treated that way. Keep in mind that you are not the only one and that if you ask, people will help you. Stay strong.

In class we're learning a lot about bullying and you hear all these stories and think 'wow this really is happening to kids like me!' we're putting together a bully awareness presentation and we're making a video. I hope it helps others realize that putting others down doesn't make you better, it just changes people's view of you, normally for the worse.
