Use the arrow keys to move, and the spacebar to stand up for yourself. *************************** In real life, bullying isn't just about standing up for yourself. Bullying is a problem. Stand up for others, too. You could save a life. Even if it's not about you, you can stand up and help others. I was bullied since kindergarten, for being smart, and bigger than all the other kids. (Funny, I'm pretty average now) I still get bullied. It's not just the names. I've been punched, kicked, shoved, and hurt just because of bullying. It has to stop. It's serious. I finally stood up to the bullies, and a few of them stopped, but people still call me names, and spread rumors about me, and it's had a permanent effect on how I see myself. I still don't really have a place to sit at lunch, I'll still be called "Geek" or "Alien" In the halls, but I look at some things others are going through, and it's just not fair. ********************************* People's reactions: Raikukitty: "Wow..... It's true, it's funny and sad at the same time, though, that most people ignore the bullying going on in the U.S. Although the thought behind this project is very deep, most of our efforts are wasted, due to the fact that most bullies won't ever view projects like these, or pretend their not bullies (It's online, after all. You can pretend you are the nicest person in cyberspace for years, as long as you never lash out at anyone ONLINE, and no one would ever know) After all, it's online " Clarebear202:I don't know what is in people's heads these days. I have several things to say to you. 1. Those (you don't wanna know these words) are just complete * idiots. They might not know it, but they will have their punishment when the time comes. If they don't realize what they are doing, you have to tell them. If they don't listen to you when you do that, when they get old, they will regret it. They have to realize it at some point. If they never do, then they might have mental issues. SERIOUSLY! 2. Maybe try to find out WHY they are bullying. Maybe they have problems at home you don't know about. If you think that might be the problem, try to help them. Try to convince them NOT to bully people and tell them that is NOT the solution to their personal problems! So try to teach them the right ways (if you can, but that's not always possible). Because if they don't learn now, they might make mistakes later in life that could be really bad. Try to help them, because you're a nice person :) 3. Tell someone. If you can't do what said, then you need to tell like an adult. I'm assuming you DID, but if you didn't then you need to, like NOW. You just need to find the right time. Tell your friends who like go to your school. Tell the people you feel comfortable around. Don't go around telling random people. Ask one of your teachers for help maybe. Just ask the people you want to. Try to get your parents to talk to the bullies parents or something. If I knew you in real life, I would be furious at them XD I would * HELP YOU! Those bullies would be like tomatoes being made into Ketchup idk how to describe it XD. Well I don't really get bullied, but I get like...hurt by people and they don't realize it. It's hard to explain. Anyway, in 4th grade, these was this girl, and she really liked me (as her friend). But when I was with her she would be like: "Get out of my friend's way!" to other people. She was really mean, and my other friends told me to tell her to stop, and i did, but she said she wasn't being mean. So that process repeated 100 times, and I transferred schools (not because of that, it was because school was too easy) but I was happy when I did. I didn't have to deal with pressure. But you are the WITNESS, and I have never really been the direct witness. I was always like a "side witness" (my friends were bullied not me) so I don't have very much experience with your position. X'D That was alot. But it's helpful.
SsC, You helped give me the courage and the idea to make this. *************************** Another great cause for you guys to check out! http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/16087131/ *************************** The song is Hero by Superchick. I do NOT own this song. **************************** The lyrics are: [Verse:] No one sits with him, he doesn't fit in But we feel like we do when we make fun of him Cause you want to belong do you go along? Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong It's not like you hate him or want him to die But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side Any kindness from you might have saved his life [Tag:] Heroes are made when you make a choice [Chorus:] You could be a hero Heroes do what's right You could be a hero You might save a life You could be a hero, You could join the fight For what's right for what's right for what's right [Verse:] No one talks to her, she feels so alone She's in too much pain to survive on her own The hurt she can't handle overflows to a knife She writes on her arm, wants to give up her life Each day she goes on is a day that she is brave, Fighting the lie that giving up is the way, Each moment of courage her own life she saves When she throws the pills out a hero is made [Tag] [Chorus] [Verse:] No one talks to him about how he lives He thinks that the choices he makes are just his Doesn't know he's a leader with the way he behaves And others will follow the choices he's made He lives on the edge, he's old enough to decide His brother who wants to be him is just nine He can do what he wants because it's his right The choices he makes change a nine year old's life [Chorus] [Rap] Little Mikey D. was the one in class who everyday got brutually harassed This went on for years until he decided that never again would he shed another tear So he walked through the door, grabbed a four four out of his father's dressing drawer And said I can't take life no more And like that life can be lost But this ain't even about that All of us just sat back and watched it happen Thinkin' it's not my responsibility to solve a problem that isn't about me This is our problem This is just one of the daily scenarios which we choose to close our eyes Instead of doing the right thing If we make a choice and be the voice for those who won't speak up for themselves How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged Now it's our time to pick a side So don't keep walkin' by Not wantin' to intervene Cause you wanna exist and never be seen So let's wake up and change the world Our time is now [Chorus] ************************** Lyrics from A-Z lyrics. ***************************** ... 46.
