"I see it going on all around me and I hate it! What I hate the most is that I can't be my self. I get made fun of  for haveing trouble in school and how I dress. I like to stay home as much as I can  but I don't whant my parents to know what is going on. I also see my little sis getting made fun of all the time and I don't know what to do. And It really bugs me how I just go along with it when ppl are talking about my own family. I try to do something about it and it just gets worse and I get picked on even more. I just wish ppl could see how much the things they do and say hurt. I just want it to stop."

hi I've been bullied for these past 2 year now and I've tried to tell an adult at my school but they still wont take care of this situation. This girl try's to track me down all day long. finally my parents went up there and all that the principle said was she doesn't have to go to school anymore. This has been so hard to try to ignore. she also comes to my house harassing me. I want to take part and stop bullying!

I know how it feels. I was once "mentally" bullied by my friends when I was in Middle School back in Indonesia, I just moved to the United States few months ago. I never got physically bullied, but the name calling and knowing that people are gossiping about you and talking bad things about you can really make you get depressed. I know how it felt being alone, without having anyone to support you behind your back, I really struggled to stay strong and keeping my head up high. That is why I care, I was a victim and I want kids and teenagers to be able to go to school peacefully.

I was bullied all 4 years of high school and it made it difficult for me to want to go to school. I showed everyone that just because they bullied me I was still going to get a good career and not let it affect me. There were days I wanted to just end everything, but with the help of my family I survived! I graduated high school and now I am in college going for my nursing degree! I just want kids to know that everything will ok in time! Surround yourself with people who love and believe in you and I promise everything will be ok! Just keep fighting!
