I Care Because…

 
  • I care because I have previously dealt with some minor bullying. I didn't last too long, but it had a slight impact. So I can sort of relate to what some people go through.

  • I care because I just care about people. Like if you're getting bullied I'm gonna feel bad and care.

  • People shouldn't be judged by anyone, anywhere, anytime, and if someone is truly mean to one another, they can scar them for life. I feel like people who do get bullied don't really tell anyone because they are scared. It is really sad that people are so scared of a bully that they would rather not tell someone so that the bully won't be angrier at them. We definetly need more upstanders because bullies are just growing more and more, and if we don't stand up to them, they could take control. Also, I feel like bullies target people who may be weaker, younger, or shorter than them when no adults are around. We need to tell adults because the sooner we tell them, the sooner they will be stopped. Another thing is that people would rather watch someone being bullied rather than help stop the bully. We need more brave people and possibly to be more brave. If someone tells an adult that a person is bullying them, the bully might be like "Uh, oh" because bullies aren't used to being caught, and when they do, they think "This was a bad idea". If we all work together and report bullying, we might just put an end to it.

  • I was bullied as a kid and sadly it doesn’t stop there. When they aren’t held accountable they grow up and bully adults too. It’s time to admit this causes mental health issues and not turn a blind eye and say “you need thicker skin”.
    What we need is love and compassion.

  • I care because I want to help people that are being bullied and I once was bullied before because my hair was too long in 4th grade and because of my height too.

  • I care because I have been getting bullied for the past 3 years and no one else should have to go through what I have gone through with the hate, and being treated unfair. we are all human beings that should be treated the same

  • I care because bullying is hard and no one should ever have to go through it. It's sad that our world isn't perfect and life has to be like this. It's sad that people feel the need to bully and the need to be mean. It's depressing that people are just so mean and horrible to others. People nowadays swear a lot and make mean comments and they find it normal.
    Our world shouldn't be like that. Bullying can make you feel very sad and hurt as well as cause depression and other mental health issues.
    It's terrible to know people are like that.
