RiseAgainstBullying

What would you do if you saw someone being bullied?

Many would answer that they would stand up for them, but that's easily said when put on the spot.
Sadly though, many of those who say they would do the right thing, will never.  Not because they're bad people, but out of fear.

77% of students have admitted to being a victim of one type of bullying or another.

That 77% are only the students that were strong enough to report their bullying, but many more either succumb to the bullying, or are too afraid to stand up.

We need to become their voice.  We need to take a stand against bullying and bring an end to it once and for all.

Bullying can lead to:
-Depression 
-Substance Abuse
-Self-Abuse
-Mental Breakdowns
-Low Self-Esteem
-Suicide

Why is one bullied?
Because they are - 
"too ugly"
"too pretty"
"too dumb"
"too smart"
because of their sexuality
because of their family
etc

Bullies will attack any and many aspects of one person in order to fulfill self fulfillment.

so ask yourself :

Are you going to take a stand and become the voice for those who so desperately need it?

or...

Are you just a bully?
