I've never really been bullied but I have seen it take place. I've learned alot from research and experience, that it is one of the worst feelings ever. I feel like most people bully because they have nothing better to do, and putting people down will help them gain confidence.. Bystanders have the most power.. Telling an adult can save a life, and alot of struggle. Most people probably don't see bullying as a problem but, it's serious. And, it continues to worsen each day it takes place. No one deserves to be bullied or harrassed in any way at all. You have the right to feel safe wherever you are. If someone makes you feel uncomfortable, don't avoid it. It's unhealthy to hold in pain. Tell an adult.. You're reactions can make a difference.

 I'm usually one to get kicked out of crouds, because people think I'm crazy for having fun. It doesn't feel good and even someone close to me always says that he has more friends than me and that I have 3. It hurts. I want to help. I think a petition against bullying, and if the bullies don't stop you know that you have thousands of people supporting you including almost your entire school.
I WANT TO HELP!

i dont like seeind others get picked on sometimes I want to help out but i am scared i will get bullied to. I love helpig little kids out becuase it helps them become a better person in the future. I dont want anymore bullies in my school so i am going to start preventing bullies from being rude to other students. If a little kid gets bullied he/she might move away because he/she is getting bullied and I want to prevent that.
