You and I all know that bullying is happening everywhere. You and I also know we have the power to stand up and say something or do something about it. Bullying is not just physical abuse, it is also a huge source of emotional abuse. Any school you walk into you will always see that kid sitting alone at the lunch table, the kids snickering at someone walking by, and sometimes even kids been physically or emotionally harassed. So my question is, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to walk by and stare, are you going to address the situation, or are you going to be the voice of a generation and make it a trend to end bullying. When you are in school you already have enough things to be stressed about. Fitting in, making the team, getting good grades, and trying to figure out who you want to be in life. To me I think it would be way easier if we all could get along, but every time I say that there will always be some that will say that is impossible. Maybe it is impossible, but life needs less impossible situations and more positive ones. The next time you see someone sitting by themselves, go sit with them and talk with them. The next time you see someone crying, walk over and see what you can do. Will bullying ever end, maybe not... but you could be that one less person that bullies. My challenge to you is to make more friends and get to know the people you are surrounded by. Make someone smile, invite them over for dinner, help them with homework, and tell them they matter to you. You'll be surprised by how awesome saying something nice and hugging someone feels. I know everyone of you has the power to do this so go out there and make your school more positive!

I can relate to this. Ever since my jr high years i was bullied to the max. Being depants in front of everyone getting treated like dirty and I couldn't stand up to them because I am was small person. Four years passed by and nothing has changed and i was still bullied so hard that I got into depression and some days made up excuses not to go to school or just run to my next class to avoid meeting anyone even friends. After those years all the kids who bullied me left school and slowly but surely I began to become more active and finally started to talk to my friends and began to live life that way i wanted it to be.
