I Care Because
I have been bullied because i was different. Because I was who I wanted to be. Nobody took the time to know me and so they ridiculed me for what they saw. Everyone says that sticks and stones make break my bones but words will never hurt me. That saying just isnt true. Bones can heal. Bullying leaves a permanant scar on a persons life. It can change them or keep them from doing what they are meant to do. I care simply because I dont want to sit by and watch was was done to me. I want to stop this horrible act. No one should feel that they have to comform, that they dont matter, or that they are an outcast simply because they are amazing in THERE OWN WAY. Bullying has got to be stopped!!!

I care because NO ONE desserves to go through the things I've been through. No one.. it hurts, it really does. I'm fed up and something NEEDS to be done.

Starting this year, I have been consistently excluded by a person I thought was my friend. My "friend" acts like I'm not cool enough to be seen with and it hurts. I know friends tease each other, but when she does, I feel dumb and it doesn't feel like a joke. I have never been good at expressing my emotions, so I haven't talked to anyone. I know how much it hurts, and if I can't help myself, I want to help others. Please, for me any all the others who have been hurt, stop bullying now.

When I was in elementary school I was bullied, it bothers me how people can get away with hurting someone.Words do hurt and it's time people understand that. No one has the right to tell you your Imperfect and that you need to change. You're perfect just the way you are...Don't let anyone tell you, you need to cahnge to fit in.
