Its a great video about cyberbullying. hang in there. its not your fault when you get bullied, its the bullies fault, not yours.
KRYSTIAN / September 19, 2009 4:47 PMThat is so sad I can relate to him in a way but it was not online bulling. I was called homosexual out of the blue in middle school. Kids i didn't know were playing jokes on me spreading rumors that I liked girls for no reason. I was toyed with. A boy played a joke on me sitting next to me and put his hands on me. I didn't like it. he asked, 'you like girls?.' I skipped school and I told my mother and she laughed like it was no big deal 'kids will be kids'. This stuff really hurts I felt alone. Rest in Peace Ryan
'kids will be kids' I hate that phrase because it means that your feelings can not get hurt. It is a get out of jail free card for the bullies. Parents and other kids need to wake up to this behavior before any more lives are lost.
