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 care because I myself have been bullied and it didn't feel good at all. I felt like the world was about to end because of how embarrassed I was. Almost everyone had seen it and saw me cry so it was very tough to deal with, but as years went by I put that problem aside. I didn't want people to see me as a crybaby, I just wanted to be loved and feel like I belonged. I too have sorta-kinda bullied, because of hanging with the wrong group, but now I know my mistakes. I have done self-harm thinking everything would be better and I'd get attention; I wanted people to feel sorry for me, I wanted help. But as I got older I started to realize that hanging with the wrong people could really mess your mind up and cause you to do bad things. If someone tells me something now, I talk about it with a teacher and get help. Nowadays I am starting to love myself more. If you're being bullied please don't resort to violence, get help. Being violent can lead to death or time in jail, so why let such a precious life go to waste when you could be doing something better; you could be happier. I am the way I am today because I have found people that made me happy, no one should have to go through bullying or think about suicidal things as I have. I know you may be tired of hearing this, but really, remember you are not alone. There are many other kids going through the same thing as you.

I care about this because i was best friends with a toxic friend, and when we got in a fight and never talked again she started to bully me. Its is sad to know that even close friends can be rude and mean towards you.

Unnoticed
November 6, 2019
My school has always been the type to say they would do everything they could to prevent bullying. Tons of assembly’s about anti-bullying. But in 7th grade, I felt like I would be better off dead. This one girl and I were friends, kinda. We laughed together. But she didn’t know the limits. She started hurting me. Physically and mentally. She hit me square in the stomach one day. That’s when I realized that this wasn’t a joke to her. She kicked me. She slapped me. Left red marks on my face. She would even go as far as grabbing my hand with such a powerful grip that I couldn’t get away and she would dig three nails into my wrist, leaving a purple mark afterwards. One time I started bleeding. She left a scar there for two weeks at a time. I was upset. I didn’t know what to do. Some of my friends saw it too. But did nothing. I felt hopeless. She decided to go to our schools assistant principal and twist the story to say that I was hurting her and causing her harm. I thought that maybe this would be the way out of this by telling the assistant principal that it was the other way around. I told him about the marks on me. And I showed him the mark. And he even called in some of my friends to interview them on this. They said that it was true. I thought “yes. I will finally be free of her.”. It was a dream come true, or so I thought it would be. The assistant ended up just telling us to keep our distance. I was heartbroken. I even resorted to self harm. She got nothing for my times spent crying in the shower or random break downs. My separation from the outside world. I have a boyfriend now who is the light of my world. Always there for me. He understands me. I’m grateful. But I still want this girl to at least understand that she hurt me. Even though it’s been a while, a long time, I still remember it like it was yesterday. I don’t want this girl to die or anything. Never. But I want her to have a little understanding of what I felt like. If she has a genuine apology, I would start taking baby steps to forgiving her.
