I was bullied since the beginning of school and even after I graduated high school. No one should have to go through the pain and stress that bullying causes. I have a hearing impairment so I wear hearing aids,when people see hearing aids they know you are different. Now  that I have graduated high school I have to live with flashbacks,nightmares and even a fear of people. I don't have many friends and the friends I have are the only ones I trust. Bullying is a traumatic thing that needs to be stopped before another person dies. I being a bullying victim care because no one should have to live through what I had to.

I cant stand the way people can bully other people. Me thinking about it makes me want to cry. To all the people being bullied, theres hope. In darkness theres always light. Please dont commit suicide. Those people are bullying you because thier jealuos. I was bullied because i didnt have the right clothes or the right hair style. When i told my mom, she said im beautiful and those little girls are just jealous. I kept being myself and everyone started following the way i looked. So please dont let them put you down. Your a diamond that just needs the right light to sparkle:-)

I care because I have been bullied for two years. It's mostly been because of boys, jealousy and catty fights, but it has driven me in depression, and made me feel ways that no one should have to feel. I also care because three of my close friends were friends with Pheobe Prince, and this makes her story really hit home for me. I want to help prevent bullying, something that happens often in my school, and I plan on starting a club this coming year to promote awareness and to prevent other kids from being affected the way I was. RIP Pheobe. You have made a difference.
