Help Me – A song by Dat Stern
Twin brothers, Stacy and Sterling, decided to start a music group called Dat Stern; they wanted to make music that could inspire people and help others. Stacy states, “My brother and I suffered from bullying all throughout middle and high school. So, when we decided to make music, that was our main focus. Our goal is to put an end to bullying.”

I remember when I was bullied in the seventh grade it was so bad with all of the name calling and people tripping me. She would call me stupid and ugly and that nobody likes me. The bullying was really bad so I ended up going with homeschooling now I am in the eleventh grade. I wish I just went up to the bully and confronted her but I was too scared. Now I just want to help people. We all have feelings and they get hurt sometimes too.

I care because I've been bullied one time and I don't want others to be hurt like I did. It really hurts someones feelings and makes them feel depressed. I don't want other people to take their own lives, have anxiety, be depressed that they don't wanna go to school. Students should be happy and excited about their lives. If you are getting bullied you should also talk to a teacher, friend, guardians, or anyone. I want kids to be grateful about their life and not get bullied.

I care for bullying because you never know what a person is going through and bullying them could push them to their ending point, then everything will take a turn on you.

Social Media wasn't made for people to post hateful things, it was made to share happy experiences and feelings, not to cyber bully.

Keeping a long story short…Bullying started for me in the third grade, From other students and 2 teachers as well. I can remember just about all of it all these years later. I was a short fat boy with red curly hair and later pimples so I was a huge target for everybody. It is not “just innocent fun”, “kids will be kids” , “They will grow out of it” or “he wont even remember”. It was not fun, It hurt, The bullying lasted from 3rd grade until I finished school and like I said I remember just about all of it. But you know what friends? All these years later I am everything I was told I would “not” be. Married with kids a good job and a lot of love. All the trash you hear is just that TRASH. All of you ARE beautiful people and you WILL have your own beautiful life. It is true that bullies are that way because of their own insecurities.
