Its ok to be different!
One day I was eating my recess when a boy I know came up to me and said something(about my appearence) to me that really hurt my feelings, this boy had been picking on me for over a year now and i was tired of it, couldn't take it anymore so I finally bursted and cryed! About a mounth later Another bully made someone cry by saying something about the way the person looked! Thats whaen Annabelle and I decided that we were gonna' do something about it, so on the next Monday we wore the most outragious things we could find and went to school, when ever someone said something mean we thanked them. Just to say that it doesn't matter what you look like and it's ok to be different!
Wear Pink if you want to!!
Today is "Pink Shirt Day" in support of taking a stand against bullying. Today is the day that everyone is encouraged to wear something pink to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere. Pink Shirt Day originated from two incredible Nova Scotia high school students, David Shepherd and Travis Price. Below is an article written by CBC News in 2007, about how these fantastic kids started Pink Shirt Day. Two Nova Scotia students are being praised across North America for the way they turned the tide against the bullies who picked on a fellow student for wearing pink. The victim-a Grade 9 boy at Central Kings Rural High School in the small community of Cambridge — wore a pink polo shirt on his first day of school. Bullies harassed the boy, called him a homosexual for wearing pink and threatened to beat him up, students said.
Two Grade 12 students — David Shepherd and Travis Price — heard the news and decided to take action. "I just figured enough was enough," said Shepherd. They went to a nearby discount store and bought 50 pink shirts, including tank tops, to wear to school the next day. Then the two went online to e-mail classmates to get them on board with their anti-bullying cause that they dubbed a "sea of pink." But a tsunami of support poured in the next day. Not only were dozens of students outfitted with the discount tees, but hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some head-to-toe.
When the bullied student, who has never been identified, walked into school to see his fellow students decked out in pink, some of his classmates said it was a powerful moment. He may have even blushed a little. "Definitely it looked like there was a big weight lifted off his shoulders. He went from looking right depressed to being as happy as can be," said Shepherd. And there's been nary a peep from the bullies since, which Shepherd says just goes to show what a little activism will do. "If you can get more people against them … to show that we're not going to put up with it and support each other, then they're not as big as a group as they think are," he says.
The students' "sea of pink" campaign did not go unnoticed outside the province. U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres expressed interest in their story, and other schools are talking about holding their own "pink day." "It's been totally overwhelming for us. I mean we're just two local boys and I mean we're getting calls from like Alaska and e-mails. It's just phenomenal the support that we've gotten from across the globe," said Price. The school principal, understandably, was flush with pride. "You're always hearing about the youth of the world and how bad things are. Well, they're not that bad," said Stephen Pearl.
It's April 14th, wear pink and show your support in taking a stand against bullying! For more information, visit www.pinkshirtday.ca

Here's a song that Annabelle and Aileen wrote about anti bullying:
Hey! Listen up I'm standing up you'r not picking on me anymore,
thats enough! I've had it right down to the core!
I'm tired of you saying things on me everytime I see you,
it's driving me crazy and you need to get a clue!
Really? There's better things you could do because bullying is really not cool and I'm finally standing up to you
Because,
(Chorus)
I'm not the kind of person to sit and watch a fight and
I'm not the kind of person to say "Ahh, they'll be alright,
I'm not the kind of person who's gonna let my friend be picked on and
I'm not the kind of person to talk about someone after they're gone
(Na,na,na,na,na,na,HEY!) 4x
It's high time that someone stood up and said "Hey don't do that!" or stoped a bully in their tracks and took their lunch money back!
Bullies need to be stoped that and without that why would they?
Now for being a bully there's a price to pay!
Because bullying is lame and it"s nto just a funny little game!
Sometimes people bully because they're insucure or because they have no friends.
But thats another thing that needs to end,
Because everyone needs someone to help them be ok
or pat them on the back and say it'll be ok!
'Cause everyone needs somebody who's always on their side
or thier secrets when they've got something they want to hide
Yeah everyone needs a friend 4x
(Chorus)
However,
I am the kind of person who's gonna stand up in a fight
And I am the kind of person who's gonna' help my friend me alright
I am the kind of person who's gonna' stop my friend from being picked on
and i am th kind of person who's gonna' say it's not rigt to talk about someone after they're gone!
Na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,hey!
na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,hey!
na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,hey!
na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,hey!
na,na,na,na,na,na,na,na,hey!
thats enough! I've had it right down to the core!
