This piece would be perfect for a project we are developing -- an online gallery for artists who have been bullied or who explore the theme of bullying in their work. It's called the You Will Rise Project. Check it out here: [link] and let us know if you would be willing to share this piece on the site. Read the "Submit Your Work" section of the site for details and follow the instructions to e-mail us your submission if you are interested. Thanks!

Wow... I agree so much with your message. I know how much words can hurt. I was bullied for never wearing make-up at school. A guy kept on punching me. I thought of suicide. Four years later, I grew suspicious and bitter. But, I graduated and I'll be entering in a new school, so that makes me very happy. Humans are humans, no matter what. Your message was really great.

Thank you. = )
It is a terrible feeling to be bullied, and when I was little, I used to think the more years that go by, the more our world would see that its unnecessary and stop doing it. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to. But I'm glad you were able to stick through it until you could get out of school. = ) There is always a better future waiting. ^__^

You're welcome. Well, once I spoke to an adult, things ended pretty quickly and the guy apologized. I'm learning to turn the page little by little.

Exactly. I'm tired of being picked on. And what hurts even more is seeing people rush past me to defend others that are being picked on. It makes me want to join in in attacking the people who get defenders out of jealousy. I know that's wrong but.... GAH. And you wonder why the song Bacterial Contamination is so very beautiful despite its imagery.

It does. If people would just open their eyes, and see we are really all the same....
All we can do is be the people with the open eyes, and try are best to protect the ones getting hurt, where no one will help.
It needs to stop, it really does.
It makes me so angry how someone could say something just so hurtful, that some people would commit suicide. This world can be so awful.
And I'm quite familiar with that song, and its lyrics. Looks to be so awful, but it is just showing what has happened to ordinary people, a little more detailed.

*nod* But noone helps me. It sickens me. Noone even comforts me when I'm down, other than the people who know me very well, yet other people get complete strangers coming to them.

Yes, and its unfortunate.
If it means anything, if you had this happening while attending the same school i did, I would have tried to help at the very least. Instead of sit and watch like so many.
Stay strong = )
