I Care Because…

For me to see somebody being bullied just hurts, I know it's not my fight but something inside me forces me to go and help. I have a friend who says they never see me get mad, the truth is I do get mad about things and may not show it but bullying is something I get mad at.

I have never personally been bullied, or purposely been a bully, but there have been times when I said something rude without thinking about it first, and when that happens, I always feel really bad for the rest of the day. But since I always feel bad about it, the person I said it to must have felt even worse. So if someone gets bullied a lot, they start to think less of themselves, and maybe even get depressed at some point.

People should not have to be scared to go to school.

There is no reason to bully. i care because if someone is getting bullied it makes no sense. because i get it, not everyone is the same but that doesn't mean that we have to bully someone. I have been lucky enough that i have never been bullied but i cannot imagine what those people go through. If you are getting bullied never think that they overpower you cause they don't they never will. But here is one thing i'll say bullies might bully cause they are just total jerks or they are trying to hide their pain but never feel like you are alone there is always someone out there is looking right over your shoulder.

I am nice to the people I don't like or hate. I don't want to be mean to people. I love all people, even the people I don't know that exist. I want to make peace with people. I don't want to harm or stress people out. I want to be friends with everybody.

I think if we don't look out for the people who are bullied then they could be too scared to tell someone and the bullying could happen nearly forever, because the teachers won't know what's going on. I also think that means the bully has power to do whatever and they will go unpunished. The victim will probably hate school because the bully is there and their grades might slip, meaning the bully has even more power over them because the bully's actions have lasting impacts. If you step in and stop the bully by getting help, being a friend, and telling the bully to stop, it shows the victim that you care about them, and that is powerful.

I care because bullying is not good to other people, I have been in both situations. Bully and bullied, last year, me and a group of people were teasing a kid on the bus, and he was obviously upset, but we kept doing it, and he even started crying. I was bullied in second grade, to the point of sobbing. I was to scared to tell the teacher(s), because I thought that I would get in trouble, so I had to deal with him until he moved away two years later.

B/c i hurts to be bullied. I was bullied from 1st to 6th grade and it was hard i did not even realise what was happening till 5th grade. I was friends with my bully before i realised i was being bullied.

I care because people who get bullied lose their self confidence and that can change their lifes.

I care because bullying is hurtful to the community, and can make people sad. As well as it's just plain mean.
