This chapter is dedicated to Amanda Todd.

Bullying. It's a topic that makes headlines almost everyday. It's a killer. It takes the lives of many teens and children today.

What comes from bullying?

Well, the first thing is grief. Has anyone ever thought of the parents? it isn't fair to those parents who grieve their child everyday. No one understands their pain. Bullying takes many children from parents today, and people feel as if, the parents don't matter. These parents go on in life, thinking what they could have done, to prevent it. To prevent their child's suicide. Which leads to our next topic.

Suicide.

Many children and teens take their lives almost everyday because of bullying.

Think of Amanda Todd. She commuted suicide on October 10, 2012, because of some bullies. It also isn't fair to these boys and girls. They don't want to die, but, it's a permanent solution, to a temporary problem.

Amanda Todd

People hated her. They left her mean comments on social media such as Facebook. Now, yes, she flashed for someone she met online, yes it was wrong, but that is no reason to hate her. Many people, even after she died, still think she did it for attention. Why? Why would she take her life for attention, when she wouldn't even be here to see it? She was suffering. All it took was one thing that escalated to one thing after another.

Acceptance.

That's at least one thing a parent can do to help their child. Teach your child to learn to except them-self and to never care what others think. That may be something small but it maybe save ones life. All you have to do is look at yourself and say "This is who I am, I am me and no one else".

Cutting

To those of you who cut. Stop. You may not know it yet, but someone loves you. Cutting isn't a solution. It doesn't end pain, it creates more. So to all of you are beautiful. Just the way you are.

Stand up to bullying.

If you see something going on, help. It's the least you can do. Because NO ONE deserves to bullied! No one! it's just for those people who never learned to except themselves and take it out on others, who DO know how to accept themselves. We may not be able to get rid of all the bullies in the world, but, we can still help people. SO STAND UP TO BULLYING. AND DON'T LET IT TAKE US DOWN. BECAUSE WE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
