"My brother is 16 and has a cognitive disability. All my life I've seen people who bully kids who don't know how to fight back or just straight up cant. I go to school and I see kids with cognitive disabilities who have a frown on their face until I tell them hello and give them a hug, because kids these days and even adults look down on children like my brother with faces that say they don't belong. You can't walk anywhere anymore without getting a dirty look from anyone. I love my brother and I care because cognitive disabilities, Gay, Parentless, and even Homeless kids cant stand for themselves."

bullying is not right, no matter what others say. everyone deserves to be treated the same, so if someone is bullying you stand up for yourself. they don't know the real, kind, smart, funny you. stand up for others, too! i was bullyed by someone in second grade, and it is still fresh in my memory. she was just walking into the classroom, and she said "is that your best shirt?" and i was really emmbarrased because everyone else was laughing. bullying is not a joke. help out. people need you. live. laugh. love. stop bullying. :) :P :D

All my life I have seen people get bullied and it is not okay. When I first moved I was known as that weird girl no one wanted to be around. They started talking behind my back and saying things that really brought me down. It hurts. People don't understand that their words can really hurt someone. But now, 4 years later, I have an amazing group of friends and people who help me to look out for the victims and help them! Remember to always talk to someone if you need them. Your friends and family are the ones who will be by your side through it all :)
