  1. I think that bullying is a horrible thing because most bullies pick on weaker targets as apposed to a tougher target. I also think that bullies do what they do because it makes them feel better about themselves or makes them feel "cooler." I feel bad for victims of bullying because they go to school everyday knowing that someone is going to hurt them (emotionally or physically.) Together we should take a stand to bullying and without being a bystander.
    I pledge to not be a bully( not saying anything mean or offensive not to physically attack anyone and not to post any mean things online) or not to be a bystander.

  2. I think that bullying is wrong because helpless people are getting hurt both physically and emotionally because of the bully. Bullies bully people because they want attention, they want to be cool, they have been bullied in the past or nobody includes them. I think that together we can stop bullying.
    I pledge to never bully anyone or be a bystander

    I think bullying is not nice, every one should be friends. If any one sees some one being mean and bullying some one they should stand up for them or find an adult that can help. I think it is important to treat others with kindness and respect there is no need to bully any one. If every one was nice to each other we can stop bullying and make this world a better place.

I pledge to not be a bully or bystander, I will stand up and never try to hurt anyones feelings.

  5. Bullying
    To me bullying is a world issue and we should stop it! I mean how would you feel if someone was saying bad thing about you to you or behind your back. How would feel if you were being punched and kicked. Think about this the next time you talk to someone. Make sure what you’re saying or your doing can’t hurt their feelings; if it hurts you don’t say or do. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Bullying affects everyone. Whether you’re a bully, by stander or the person being bullied. A bully is affected by not having friends later on, the by stander is affected for seeing someone getting hurt and being too afraid to speak up, and the person being bullied if affected from being hurt physical or emotional. I in 4 teachers look out for bullying during school, after school and on the playground, 4% of the time the teacher sees and helps out. We can stop this I know we can! Just by standing up I know we can make a difference!

  6. Bullying I think that bullying hurts everyone, even a bystander. The target is hurt because he/she feels like nobody cares about them, the bully is hurt because he/she will have no friends, and the bystander is hurt because they feel guilty because they did nothing to help the situation at hand. Bullying is not right. If you are tempted to resort to bullying to make friends, it won't work! Bullying only gets you enemies. So I pledge to never be a bully or a bystander, and stand up for people! - Ultra Violet, a.k.a. Erin

  8. I think bullying is a horrible thing. I think that bullies are just small people that are looking for attention. I think they are just trying to feel better and more powerful over other people. Bullying is a force threat or abuse to intimidate and show dominates over others. By standing i think is one of the mane problems in bullying because they tend to do nothing because ether they are in shock and do not want to get involved especially when it is physical. I know that bullying is not the way to solve problems but we can try to limit the bullying be maybe letting the bullying into your game or doing something nice for him or her like holding the door. So together WE NEED TO TAKE A STAND AND STOP BULLYING.

    I pledge to not by stand and stand up to a bully that is picking on another person i also will not be a bully by saying or doing something mean to another person.

  9. Bullying is a huge problem that I think has really been brought up more lately. Bullying is also a rute to many other problems that I think are just as bad. It can cause depression, exclusion, bystanding and physical or emotional problems. Bullying also comes in many different forms, some are physical, social, verbal and cyber bullying. I think bullying can be stoped but not with people like bystanders, with people like us that will stand up to bullyies. There are some pretty bad facts about bullying. These include; half of all children are bullyed during the school year, every day 160000 children skip school because they are afraid of being bullyed.There's a bit of the info, to me it seems pretty bad. We can stop bullying one bully at a time!

    I pledge to never be a part of bullying or a bystander. I will also play my part in trying to stop bullies and STAND UP!

  10. I think that bullying is one of the worst things in the world. Having extreme cases where one feels so sad, depressed, and worthless they think they don’t belong in this world anymore, so they commit suicide. I think that everybody needs to stop, look at the big picture, and do something. Everybody needs to stop just feeling sorry or bad for the person who took them self out of this world that they heard about on the news every week. But think about how many children and teens are bullied every day. Every, Single, Day. People all around the world in different states, countries, regions, everywhere are getting bullied for being themselves.

    I pledge to never be a bully, never by stand, and make a change.

    1. I think that bullying is one of the world's biggest problems. It can start over the smallest thing ever, even over not giving back someone 20 dollars. It can lead to many more horrible problems including depression, sleeping difficulties, and some really extreme cases suicide. I mean, how would you feel if you knew that the second you step on the playground at school, someone will always be there to call you names, kick you and punch you, and make you feel horrible about your self. Bullies usually only bully cause they have family troubles at home, want people to be scared of them, or just simply have no one to play with at recess. I think that if we stand up to bullies, they will stop bullying and maybe even wind up being you friend. Remember, no matter how much a bully hits you or kicks you, never stop being yourself and if your being bullied for being you, than that's the bully's problem. Stop the abuse. Be the change.

      I hereby pledge to never bully anyone no matter what they do. To never stand by, to make a change in the world and stop bullying.

  11. Bullying comes in many different forms and all of them hurt. Bullies do it for their own personal game or try to act cool and tough. If bullying comes to extreme cases, the victim will fell depressed lonely, and have thoughts of suicide. If we all stand up we could start something that could finish.

    I pledge to never bully or to be a bystander.

  12. Ever since bullying has started kids have been feeling bad to worst to terrible to even killing themselves. Kids need to start to reailize that bullying needs to stop. Some bullies bully because they have no friends or they want to be cool.Millions of kids are getting bullied and millions more are just watching it happen without doing anything.Kids feel like they are just nothing in the world. Think, how would you feel getting every day over and over again getting called names.Think about it maybe you could be the spark or the chain reaction the could stop bullying all over the world.


    I pledge to never bully or even watch anyone to get bullied.

  13. I think bullying is very mean and a cruel thing to do. If you get bullied try not to react or show the bully how you feel. Try not to let the bully get to you, if they do you will never for get it. If you ever see bullying tell a teacher and do your best to prevent it. Tip: try your best to be nice to the bully because it makes a BIG difference.

    I pledge never to be apart of bullying and stand up if I see it.

  14. I think bullying Is cruel, picking on someone that is smaller or weaker than you just to make yourself feel good. if I was getting bullied the last thing I would want to do is go to school. verbal bullying is just as bad as physical bullying even though it doze not hurt your body. bullying comes in many different forms the main types of bullying are physical, verbal , cyber, emotional. in possible cases bullying goes way to far, which mite be the cause of death in extreme cases.

    I pledge to never be a bystander. by will

    Bullying, a pathetic way that a child takes out their anger, loneliness and frustration all onto another person to what they think will make them feel better or help their self-confidence, Bullying an evil that must be stopped. There three different types of bullying physical bullying, social or emotional and cyber bullying all of these hurt. A bully bullies mostly because they either they were bulled they have no friends or they are treated harshly at home. Sometimes bullying goes so even to the point where the victim comets suicide, we need to stop this now because bullying is sort of in a way a chain because when a child is bulled they grow up and then they bully. If want to stop a bully then you need to stand up to the bully or invite the bully to come do something with even become the bullies friend. Bullying a thing that should be a thing of the past, bullying something that needs to be stopped

  16. I think if bullying doesn't stop, more and more people will feel hurt, and feel like they don't belong in this world anymore. Bullying is a cruel thing to do because you hurt so many people to the point the can't take it anymore and may feel something is wrong with them, and start feeling upset, lonely, unhappy, and maybe even afraid. Something we can do is stand up to bullying because together we can make a difference and stop it, so it won't happen ever, lets stand up to bullying!
    I pledge to never be a bystander, and always stand up for those in need of help.
