Student Action Plan Against Bullying
Ready to take action to address bullying? Maybe not sure how to start? As a student, bullying is something that impacts you, your peers, and your school – whether you’re the target of bullying, a witness, or the person who bullies. Bullying can end, but that won’t happen unless students, parents, and educators work together and take action.

I care because bullying isn't right and it can mess someone up so bad they harm themselves.

I care because we are all different and we all matter. No kid should feel like they don't matter, you are strong, perfect and special. So don't let any one convince you otherwise.

No one deserves to be bullied and it is horrible when someone is. Imagine if you or your friend was bullied, would you stand up for them. If so then why just stand out then when you could all the time.

i care about bullying because i have been bullied before and its not a walk in the park but i learned from it and it made me a lot more respectful to people i talk to and people i meet everyday so it changed the way i look at people so that's why i care about bullying.

I am against bullying because nobody should have to go through that harsh treatment. Everybody is beautiful in their own special way, we are all different people and have different talents.

The start of my depression
January 13, 2025
The bullying started on my first day of 6th grade in a new school, some girls decided to corner me in the bathroom. They said that my hair was ugly and tangled and they told me I looked like a guy. That honestly hurt my feelings because I’ve never had anyone talk down on me like that. They picked on me for that whole year and one day I just decided I was over it and I fought back. They haven’t messed with me since but they did cause some serious mental health issues. You aren’t alone.
