PACER is supportive of all persons who desire to be free and safe in their own communities. We are aware of the history of racism and social injustice in this country that needs to be changed. The tragic death of Mr. Floyd has highlighted the injustices in our country. We know that Black children and their families experience significant disparities in education, health, housing, and the justice system. We will work to ensure just systems for all families. We can do better.

I care for all the kids who suffer in the hands of bullies. I am from Australia and recently I found out that many kids suicide because of these bullying happen at schools and other places including internet on social network sites. It is so hard to imagine what these kids gone through and even harder to think of the parents who lost them in such a way. I just wish that parents are more aware of these things and specially the schools act more responsible than this because most of these bulling start at schools. Wish we all could do more to stop these bulling. Perhaps harsher punishments for the bullies, regardless of their age could help to stop this.

I don't understand. How can people do horrible things to those around themselves. I am going on my 3rd year of being bullied and each year i stand up for myself by telling my schools principals only to get in trouble and be punished. I believe that the "no bullying policy" is a bunch of crap because in my opinion it protects the person who is bullying. It is wrong and life should not be like this.

I'm getting targetted, too. However, even the small things can set me to steam because I have been bullied since grade school. If you've been bullied since then, do NOT trust them. They aren't your friends or anything. However, don't start the fights. If you do it YOU'RE being the bully

Ive never been bullied before now. Im not used to people calling me bad things and hating me. If its this hard for mw, i feel horrible for the other people being bullied right now.
