  • I care about bullying because it is completely wrong and ignorant. Nobody should be picked on because of their presence. While I have not experienced it firsthand, I know it can drive people to fatal injuries. Therefore, bullying is a sensitive topic that should be handled responsibly with serious consequences.

I was bullied in elementary school

When I was in 4th grade I liked this one boy but there were 2 people who would always bully me because of it. They would laugh at me for it. They would go out of their way to make me feel miserable. I finally stood up to them one day and then I reported them to the principal.
