i care because i know what it's like to feel lost, lonely, and like the feelings of sadness and pain would never go away. i felt like there was nobody in this world that could understand my thoughts or view the world through eyes like mine. i needed support but was too afraid to let anybody into my world. i wasn't as lucky as youth are now with websites and hotlines available with truly caring mentors eager to listen and support. i urge anybody thats struggling to speak out. whether it be through a parent, sibling, email, phone call.. let your voice be heard. you are NOT alone. there IS hope. trust me, it gets so much better.
I LOVE YOU

I want my son to grow up in a world were bullying doesn't exist but that's asking for too much.  If people stood up for each other..spoke up when needed...cared just a little more...and simply thought of the future maybe it would stop.  When you see bullying DO SOMETHING bc if u dont ur being part of it.  The victim is someones brother/sister, daughter/son, friend...what if they were ur friend,sibling, child...wouldnt u want some1 to stand up for them?!? I care because I hope for a brighter future for each one of u who I dont even know...

i know what it's like to be bullied. This is a serious problem and it should never be okay. I have been hurt too much, and people i know have been hurt too much. I know a girl who is 11 years old, and a girl poured soda all over her head. that is just unnecessary and rude. I strive each and everyday to make this world a better place. This is a very important topic that should not be avoided. Kids, talk to your parents or someone you trust, parents, talk to your kids too see if they are okay. We can end bullying! it starts with us, here and now!
