Just because someone is diffrent doesn't mean there wierd it just means there more special. People just need to understand and take a stand because bulying is a big issue and no one deserves to be treated unfairly

I have been bullied since I started school. I have self harmed do to bullying.I have been knocked out and treated wrongly. I have delt with it my entire life. I finally decided to take a stand in 7th grade. I was sick of seeing it, sick of watching people I knew have their lives ruined. I will not let it happen anymore. I choose to take a stand.

I have seen the things that people who have been bullied have to endure, and it is not okay. No one should feel alone or not safe, wherever they are, whether that is at school or at home. I have friends who have been bullied/bullies, and I have been bullied myself. It is not an enjoyable experience, and nobody should have to go through it.

I care because I have been bullied for 1/3 of my life. I understand all forms of bullying, and I wish to help those who need to be helped. If someone had been there for me when I was being bullied, things might have been different, so that's why I'm working hard to help out anybody I can.

No one should be made fun of for just being them selves that's just not right I was bullied and it isn't fun. I have a friend who was and still is being bullied and he's being bullied because he's gay. People don't just get picked on because of the way they look its also the color of there skin what gender they like and Many other reasons. Bullying is no just a part of life you can stop it

Asia - 13 - PA

I care because I was bullied for superficial stuff. My hair is red. This is because of genes me parents passed down to me, not anything I did guys. People say, "Gingers have no souls" or even that "Gingers will steal your soul". Frankly, this is not only outrageous but it doesn't even make sense. I no longer raise my hand in class very often and I flinch a lot when ever someone I don't really know gets very close to me. Bullying made me this way, I want it to stop. Stand up for others guys.

I never really goten cyberbullied, but i've gotten bullied. I want to help prevent bullying and cyber bullying because i know that it hurts a lot of people and some people even commit suicide because of that. Some even start to hurt themselves. At school, we're making a project and you have to choose something you want to prevent and i chose this. I'm making a powerpoint and i will present it later this week. I'm also making a poem about it and many other stuff. I want to help stop it.

I know bullying can be a traumatic experience and can occur on numerous fronts. No matter what, there is somebody that will be there for you. Sometimes these people may not be as clear at first, but, find somebody to talk too. I know that I have been able to help friends and family in the past because at the end of the day all they needed was somebody to talk to, and as a result the bonds that with those people that I have made are unforgettable. You're not a lone. Stay strong.

Ben - 19 - Ohio

Don't give up! The awful things people say about you and do to you, you don't deserve any of those things and I'm sorry it is happening to you, but don't give up you are worth so much more. You are beautiful, smart, talented, and ton of other awesome things! :)

Bullying is wrong. Bullying puts people down. It keeps them from being able to show there full potential. Not only the victim but the bully as well. I wanted to take a stand bu=eczuse I know that it is not okay. I thaught if I took a stand it might make someone else take a stand. Than someone else, and so on. Until finally everyone knows and bullying may begin to stop. Stay strong!

Being bullied is hard. It can happen to anyone. The key is not to let it get to you. What truly matters is how you take it. You can either get angry and try to get them back OR brush it off and carry on with your life. It can't hurt you if you don't let it. Always remember that you're not alone. People care about you. Its okay to reach out.

Hannah - 16 - Virginia

In middle school I was bullied for being over weight and it was awful. People would calling me fat@$$ and beached whale. After going on for so long some kids told me I should kill myself. For being that fat and that I was a disgusting person for my weight.  After a year long of torment I began self harm and I was actually bulimic just to impress these people that I didn't even care. It got to the point where I shattered and felt completley worthless. I actually thought of killing my self because I didn't know what to do. It was just a very hard time and dark time. To this day I still struggle with weight even though I have lost a lot of it..I have no self esteem or confidence. I'm still dealing with depression. The physical abuse stops and heals but it's the words and things they say that you carry with you. They leave the worst scars.

bullying is hurtful, it hurts our self-esteem and our sense of belonging to a community or group. It is cruel, unproductive for all involved and maddening. It's been going on forever but it has to change as women's right to vote became a reality, as children's right did too, or as animal cruelty became a punishable crime. Living in a society where bullying is prohibited could change things from its core. Maybe one day in less than 100 years who knows, we will be able to live a life in which compassion is the most valuable human quality.

The saying, "Sicks and bones can break your bones, but words will never hurt" is untrue because words DO hurt.  It isn't right to be bullied, and even if it isn't physical, words by itself can hurt all the way past your bones.  

UnKnown - 12 - Washington DC

because i know what it feels like to get beaten or picked on every day and i know the pain and i want to make a difference and stick up for my peers that are bullied so they dont have to expierence the pain i did.

Allie - 15 - Michigan

Alot of things have happened to me that are going on to others and I'm not happy about it. HELP STAND AGAINST THE BULLIES. STAND FOR THE SMALLER KIDS AND HELP THEM REGAIN CONFIDINCE!!!! NO ONE WANTS IT TO HAPPEN.

Ashlynn - 13 - Conroe, Texas

Oh my gosh, there are so many reasons. I wasn't really bullied but I saw it happen way too often. ONCE is too often in my view. Anyway, ever since I was in First Grade bullies have made me angry. Not because they were bullying me, it was just because I saw what they did to other kids and it was just not right to treat another human being that way. I decided I was going to do something different and stand up for the victims of these punks.

I also knew that for me to just be mean to them was not what I wanted to do either. A bunch of these bullies were on the baseball team with me. I decided to write a note explaining how much they were hurting these innocent kids with their words and that just because they were popular kids with lots of friends didn't give them the right to hurt others. I taped a letter to every boy on my team's locker. A bunch of them told me they really didn't realize how much hurt they were causing other kids.

What I'm saying here is don't be a bystander.  I beg you to take action and be a hero to a victim of bullying. If you get that feeling you should do something, please do it! Even if you don't feel safe standing up to a bully, saying something to a victim literally might save their life! Be a friend to a kid who desperately needs one.
