I Care Because…

people matter and everyone has feelings

I was bullied and that's not cool

People matter

Bullying is bad because creates more violence.

i care about bullying because it can have a lasting impact on a person's confidence and everyone deserves to feel accepted and respect, no matter who they are. Bullying not only hurt us individuals, but it also damages to sense of community and trust in schools and other environment. i believe is important to speak up, support other schools.

I want everybody to feel safe and comfortable

I was bullied for over a decade almost non stop. It severely impacted my mental health and I am only still here because of God and those who chose to accept me when I was rejected. I know the terrible loneliness of feeling completely unwanted. I know the shame and the hurt that runs so deep you feel utterly worthless and like trash. I know the power that words can have and how they can cut deep and leave scars for life. I see the hurt. I cannot turn away. I want to stand with the bullied and take the hurt with them, speak up for them, defend them, and hear them and befriend them.
You never know how far a little kindness can go. It can save someone’s life. It surely did for me many times.
I care because I know this pain all too well and it is my honor to be there for someone else in this pain.

I care because I was bullied. I was the one who got isolated, the last choice, the 'weird' one that you got told to stay away from. I care because I know how it feels. I care because my bully caused me to start sh, and I'm barely 3 months clean. She bullied me for a year and a half. That was two years ago. I care because nobody should ever have to feel like that.

If you don’t want people bullying you, don’t bully others because it can harm the person AND you!

Bullying is not very kind. You never know what someone is going through. Whether that's at home or in school or at practices or behind closed doors. If you see someone that looks like they are going through something. Just offer them some type of assistance and see if they need help. It doesn't harm anyone to ask or check up on people once in a while. If someone is going through something and they are willing to talk even if you don't know what to say talk to them! They probably feel safe talking to you and trust you with that information. Hold on to it and if it gets too bad tell a trusted adult. Most likely someone is bullying you because they can't help themselves and try to take it out on other people. Bullying isn't okay and I am against it.
