I care because everyone is human. Everyone has feelings. When I was in 4th grade, up until 6th or 7th people would make fun of me and call me mustachio because I had a bit of upper lip hair. They'd call me a guy, and it bothered me so much because obviously I am a girl. I hated it, I wanted to go away and never come back. Everyone needs to realize everything they say could potentially effect someone's life. Which could effect someone else's life. You could be the start of a horrible chain reaction.

well i being kindof not so popular in school got made fun of and My BEST friend would hang out with those girls! They used to call me really bad sware words that I shouldnt mension and one day it was a special day for me because it was my favorite celebritys bday and so I was in Girl Scouts and the troop leader put me in a group with my best friend and she said she wanted to be in a group with the girls that were mean to me! so then on the way home I overheard them talking to me and I went home and started crying! and now i have OCD an anxiety desorder that was caused by me not having enough confidence in myself! So help STOP BULLING!!!!!!!!

I was bullied. I know the feeling I use to get when I walked into that school. The feeling like a rock dropped from my throat to the bottom of my stomach. I remember the words they called me. Even tho it's been 3 years since I was in grade 10, I can recall every harsh word that was said to me. Feeling like I wasn't worth anything and I was useless. Telling my parents I had missed the bus when they heard I wasn't at school, because there were just some days I couldn't handle it . I feel for everyone who's going through that right now. But know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even when it seems your whole worlds in darkness, I promise there will be someone who will bring you a candle. Just wait. Know you are beautiful and someone out there loves you....for you.
