i've been the bully myself . it's really not worth it, watching someone suffer just because you want a laugh. it's cruel. kindness is free, and it makes everyone happier, not just you.

Bullying is bad for peoples mental health and effects grades of the victims

I was bullied for being a type 1 diabetic. I couldn't control anything about it, and any beeps from devices told any bullies that I was a target. Every day for the past 3 school years, I was verbally abused. I don't want any human being to experience that. I don't want any living, breathing, thinking person to feel the emotional abuse that can cause suicidal thoughts. I care because it is not right to put others down for a wrong feeling of enjoyment. I care because I don't want anyone to feel depression caused by a sadistic bully.

I have experienced bullying many times , I used to get bullied for always participating in class , and I still get. Why make someone feel bad for doing the right thing or because of their gender, age, race, culture and disability etcetera. Hope you get the point!

I was bullied at work. My manager would yell and spit in my face, she would also slam her fist on counters. It happened in front of others and other managers started to do it too. It hurt my self esteem because I have disabilities. No one has a right to do this to anyone no matter the reason anywhere.

The stress of having to possibly go to school everyday and deal with another day of harassment can ruin your entire school year. Bullying is no joke. It costs the lives of hundreds of children every year, with little to no consequences for the person who was bullying them. Victims of bullying are usually by popular kids who think they're cool for picking on people different than them, which is honestly sad. Constantly having the fear of being made fun of simply by walking through a hallway isn't fun at all. These kids have to grow up.

I teach high school students and I have seen the damage that can be done to a person's life when bullying occurs. It may start as a joke but can escalate quickly. I work hard to build student's resilience, empathy and responsibility skills so that they are able to live their best life.

 It is important to care about preventing bullying because it can lead to decreased morale, productivity, and overall satisfaction. No one should every have to endure this type of behavior please find someone to talk to. This is unacceptable for anyone any age to ever go through this alone. There are support groups and counselors that can also help you, so you don't feel alone. I pray for each and every one of you. As a young adult it happened to me as well.

I used to be alone everyday in school and get repeatedly bullied and harassed all the time no one deserves to feel like that. so even now that I have a friend group I still try to include and be nice to everyone. and to anyone who is reading this that is struggling with bullying don't let them walk all over you and don't let what people say about you determine your self worth at the end of the day they're just as insecure and also get bullied.I promise there's people out there that will love and accept you for who you are just be paitent with God and the universe and know I care about you.

I care because I never want anyone to feel the way that I did.

Taquashia Brown - 24 - Davenport, Iowa

I don't like being bullied. I am always being bullied and that's only because I'm a ginger, my hight is 4-5" I think in middle school and my family is very poor. we live with my grandparents so bully's please stop. It makes people sad and I bet the bullies wouldn't like it either.

William - 11 - Florida

I know how it feels... People crush themselves inside, standing in the mirror, thinking about what other people are going to say about them. I have ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and other disorders I can't fix with the snap of A finger, and it hurts getting bullied because of these natural things that I've had  almost my entire life. Please, please tell someone if your getting bullied. People can't help you if they don't know what's wrong. Remember, your loved <3

These days, along with the bullying problem, there are people in Korea who bully their friends in a similar way to labor exploitation. That's why I remember stopping it myself, and that's why I'm concerned about future development.

Aiden - 12 - colorado

everyone should be treated equal. We're all human, and no one is worth more than the person next to them. We all have hopes and dreams that we want to achieve, and bullying someone won't get you closer to your goal, it'll only make someone else's day worse.

Onorina - 13 - Colorado

I am a gay man and I came out at 17 in 1981 and I was a victim of bulling because of that. But it started much younger because I was different. When I spoke up it just got worse. It affected my schoolwork and I barley graduated. I loved schoolwork btu I hated school. I had a gay friend end himself at 14 because of it. Things like this need to stop.

No one deserves to be bullied.
Please think before you do something because your actions could hurt someone.
Please think about how you would feel when you were bullied.
Together we can create a world without bullying.

I was bullied growing up due to my social status and not having the name brand clothes or newest phones. The bullying I went through in high-school replays in my brain everyday, it’s left me with so many issues and insecurities that I’ll always live with for the rest of my life. Bullying does more harm than good.

My daughter has dealt with mean girl issues for 2 years…she’s only 9! This year she received 2 death threats and barely anything was done. We as her parents had to fight to see any results. She isn’t the same girl anymore. It’s heartbreaking to watch. 

Emily - 42 - Missouri

I care because I am a victim of bullying. I was a shy girl with almost no friends. People from my school bullied me for my weight, my grades (I was an honor student), and God only knows other reasons. I'm 30 now, but the cracks and wounds in my heart will never heal. I have trust issues, still feel terrible about my looks. I wish this world would be a better place.

Bullying is a traumatic act that hurts. Bullying ruins self-esteem and can make it hard for people to be happy. If you're reading this and feel you may have bullied someone you can make things right. You are also loved and you also matter. Hurting someone else won’t change the situation or take away the pain. You don't have to hurt others because someone hurt you. You can show how beautiful you really are by loving and supporting others. It takes strength but I love you and I believe in you. Talk to someone and read information on how to stop bullying or help someone who is.
