I was bullied grade 4- grade 8 and in the first three semesters in college. I wasn't only bullied by the kids who I tried to fit in with but I was also bullied by teachers who called me dumb and useless. I had to face the stupidest people who used a parents' death to bully me. I care because I have nieces and I do not want them to go through what I went . I want them to show these happiness deprived people how they are stronger than them . Bullying does not only take in America it also takes place in countries like Pakistan , India . In other words , all over the world . I hope the best for everyone all around the world and hope that someday bullying does get abolished.

I care because i was bullied before. Bullying people is the worst thing you can do to someone. The group of girls that bullied me tried to beat me up and ruin my life. One of them lied to my Mom and the others just wrote me hate notes and wrote inside of my desk with a sharpie. After a while i felt so misrable i had panic attacks. My Mom and Dad got me a therapist, but it didn't help. What those girls would do to me was so mean. My principal and I had a lot of talks. They said it was normal midddle school problems. They didn't help and i ended up switching schools in the middle of the year. My new friends are so nice and i m finally happy. The only thing that makes me sad is knowing that because i left someone else might be getting hurt by those same girls. Bullying needs to stop.
