I really don't understand why bullying is becoming a huge deal now. It actually really irritates me. But I am glad that people are starting to share their stories more to help others that have been bullied or are being bullied. No matter what you think about yourself, it all changes when someone keeps pounding other thoughts into your head. I really give this guy props from sharing this with the world. It's really awesome how he wants to help others by sharing his stories and advice. I really liked how he made a huge deal about how teachers and adults should be helping the kids that are being bullied, not encouraging the harrassment. I find it sick and wrong that teachers don't do anything the majority of the time. Students look up to teachers and having them not care one little bit can tear them down. I hope they all feel terrible, because they should. Forgiveness isn't the easiest thing in the world and they aren't making it any easier.
