Its way to easy to stand by and do nothing, we need to learn to become the change for the better.

I definitely agree, Jewel. One thing I’ve always prided myself on, is having the ability to speak my mind freely and not second guess my actions especially in a case if someone is being hurt. It is absolutely terrible that yesterday after school there was a kid limping out of the school coming from the sports lobby who had just gotten bullied b/c he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. A good friend and I let him know that things will get better, and helped him in a big way. Bullying is a REAL problem, I seriously cannot comprehend why you would want to make a fool out of someone else and even more cause bodily harm.
