Stop the Bull- It has my Red Bull!

Wattpad started a project/profile called NoMoreBullying to so to speak, "Stop the Bull". No, I don't mean throw away the red cape and give that bull some red bull to give it wings and have it fly away to freedom- Sadly. "Stop the Bull" is short for, "Stop the Bullying", a short and catchy slogan I give Wattpad props to. NoMoreBullying was created to spread bullying awareness throughout Wattpad with Challenges.

When I learned about this, I thought, "Oh hey, I wrote a book about bullying." Then later, when I learned there was a Challenge of writing a book about bullying, I thought, "Oh hey, I wrote a book about-" Okay, maybe not really. I just thought of it as a cool coincidence and quickly plastered that banner on my cover.

Apparently, NoMoreBullying came up with more challenges (which I sadly did not know). The most recent one asks the readers themselves to submit one story that "contains the most inspirational message in it, or which help encouraged you or someone you know to stand up to bullying, to feel better about yourself and the world."

Surprisingly enough, I got a message from NoMoreBullying dumping these messages on me and handing me a virtual tissue to dry the te- I mean sweat, the sweat from my eyes after reading them. They told me to post these messages (as I was happy to oblige) and here I am.

I hope you all enjoy reading these beautiful, inspirational, heart-warming, tear-jerking, sweat-from-the-eyes-making, running-out-of-words-writing messages. Each one of them had made a pang in my heart (or it may have just been my heartbeat) and I want to share these with you.

To those who took the time to write these messages and used up your one-story submission for my book, I want to thank you all. My only regret is that I can't dedicate this chapter to all of you at the same time. So I'm only left with talking to you privately and giving you a virtual hug- except for the Anonymous, here's your hug right now. Also for a little treat, here is a Wattpad trailer of the book made by janiecew, hope you enjoy.

"Hi, this is my story suggestion for the current challenge: "The Good Girl's Bad Boys: The Good, The Bad, and The Bullied". The link is below, in the next message. I think this would be an excellent story for this challenge because one of the main points of the story is bullying. The author takes us on this amazing, sad, funny journey of a good girl and her bad boys facing her bullies and bullying head-on. The author also raises, what I think is, an important point in her story. It's that bullying won't ever stop. And I know that this account is about no more bullying but I believe that bullying won't ever stop... It's just a matter of surviving it. You have to survive and stand up for yourself and others. Then and only then will you actually conquer bullying. I'm sorry for rambling, but thank you for considering my suggestion :) "

"What this book means to me:

After one of my friends found out that I was bullied for most of my life, she told me to read this book, she told me that it'll teach me that I shouldn't be ashamed of what happened to me. I started reading this book and I felt like I somehow knew Naomi, I felt like in some way she was exactly the same as I was, scarred, alone and ashamed. This book helped me realise that I'm not the only one out there, it made me realise that it wasn't my fault, although at the time I was certain it was, it made me realise that even though I was continually pulled down, hurt and treated like shit (excuse my French), I got through it and came out the other end. Scarred, maybe. But stronger, much stronger. People die because of this and it's not right, it never was.

Naomi pulled through, she isn't no Katniss Everdeen or Clary Fray, but in my eyes Naomi Loraine is a heroine.

I could go on forever about this book but I don't wanna waste all of your time and stuff. I know this book already won before, but in my opinion, it deserves to win again. So I guess this is my vote.

Umm yeah thanks for reading.

Love always,

Rileyxoxo"

"What this story means to me and shows me is very strong friendship between the four main characters. I've never seen such a interesting, but completely understandable bonding between four different people. It has taught me that, it might take some time, but there are friends who are out there for you, and they will help you get up when you fall.

This amazing story has taught me that you have to find the right friends to help you stand. The right friends to protect you or cheer you up when you're feeling gloomy. The right friends they will have your back and be by your side no matter what. And sometimes, they might annoy you, anger you, or even make you cry, but you have to remember that if they're true friends, they might be doing that because they care.

The main character has been bullied for as long as the story goes back since kindergarten or preschool, I recall, but all I could see was how disgusting and irritated I felt to see all that horrible stuff done to a girl. She never did anything wrong and I now understand why bullies bully. I already understood but I understood more.

Kids at my school aren't bullied because of the policy we have in or school district that says the police or court will either be involve if it's a serious matter, which says that all kinds of bullying can be a serious matter if the victim finds it really hurtful and tries to put themselves done when they're absolutely amazing in each and every way.

I never understood exactly why people have stood to the sidelines since I've never witnessed anyone being bullied or I've never been in that specific role, but I do know that it's very unfortunate and you can feel scared to take that first step, just like I've read in books and saw in assemblies at school.

But I know, if I ever saw someone, friend or not, even if it's someone I don't like, I'm not going to stand there, I'm not going to watch, I'm going to stop them and defend the person, I won't care even if I get hated. Hate can get to me sometimes but then I remember my family and friends and the people around me, and I am fine again before I roughly brush off that hate, which at most times, is starting to not faze me at all.

Sure, a few times, I feel like my book isn't worth writing and most times when I read my favorite author's books, I can't help but feel that I'm a horrible writer and my two first books were just a part of a trend that was around. And a few months ago, I wasn't sure if I should delete or not, but then, I saw the comments from my fellow readers and votes and reads, and I felt happy.

Sometimes, I still get that feeling but I know that I'm progressing in my writing still and I can always update my stories whenever my style of writing gets better and better until I can write like a billion stories, all with amazing writing inside of them.

But back to RubixCube89201's amazing story, that book has changed my perspective of things. I know that some people can't take that first step and I realize how hard it is to stop bullying and now, I only wish I could've participated in making a story for the challenge.

I'll try to not make the mistake of letting someone get bullied before my eyes. I'll know I won't stand there but I will go and report it to someone. I will go talk to the victim and befriend them after I defend them or later in the day. I'll invite them over for a friendly chat and watch movies. Basically, I'll just brighten their day.

I'm a friendly person and I'm always looking for friends, especially the ones that need the most friendly love.

Thanks to that book, I now know exactly how worse bullying is in schools and how I figured a way to try to stop it, but mostly figured a way on how to lift the spirits of the beautiful person that got pushed down, even if it means my spirits may get pushed down with them."

""So be like Naomi Lorraine also known as Nerdy Naomi, ignore their words, survive those punches, live through it and stay alive. Don't kill yourself because a bunch of people are mean to you, Naomi hasn't and so will you."

- The Good Girl's Bad Boys: The Good, The Bad And The Bullied (Completed) by RubixCube89201

This story means a lot to me because my friend was recently bullied and she self harmed. We went to different schools. She was two years older than me but that didn't stop us from being inseparable. She would always say to me after school that she wanted to kill herself because she couldn't handle it, and I kept on replying to her "hang on. For me".

A few days later, I just finished reading The Good Girl's Bad Boy and it reminded me of my friend for some reason. So I told her to read the book. I also told the people that bullied her to read this book and surprisingly they did! After they read this book, they stopped bullying her."





Jordan: (Blows his nose, clears his throat) I wasn't crying... I just have a cold.

Naomi: (Sniffles) You must have a cold heart then to not being even a little affected by that. Hand me the tissue will you?

Jordan: You're going to use it?

Naomi: (Looks at tissue) Not anymore...

Bennett: ...

Naomi: Why aren't you saying anything?

Bennett: (Looks away)

Naomi: Bennett?

Bennett: (Mumbles) I'm just thinking about life right now, don't mind me.

Naomi: Declan, how about you?

Declan: I'm thinking that if I came face-to-face with a bull, how I'm going to give it Red Bull...

Jordan: I think if you paint it red, it'll automatically become a red bull and will grow wings and fly away.

Declan: No, I don't think that will- Wait, that was a joke right?

Naomi: Guys, don't fight.

Jeclan: But we aren't. Wait, what's with the name?

Naomi: (Quickly changing to subject) How about that Wattpad trailer, huh?

Jordan: I'm glad they got my good side. I loved my scene. I can just go back to it and tell them: Kids, that's how I met your mo-

Bennett: It was really good. It was nice seeing the reenactment on how we met.

Declan: I wish I was there. It was pretty ironic how the guy playing me got suspended, seeing it would happen to me too.

Naomi: (Looks at Rubix) Rubix, I think you should be talking about the sequel before we start to ramble and breaking the fourth wall.

Rubix: Wait, what are you all doing here?

Jordan: You just HAD to raise their hopes up, didn't you Rubix?

Declan: Oh c'mon, you know she didn't mean to.

Rubix: You're not supposed to be here either. None of you are supposed to be here.

Bennett: Can you just let her finish talking?

Jordan: I would have if Declan didn't interrupt me.

Declan: What? You interrupted her first!

Jordan: Well I was trying to make a point!

Naomi: Guys, stop fighting! We are in a No Bullying chapter, remember? This is getting pretty ironic.

Rubix: (Shakes her head) I seriously need to stop making you guys breaking the wall.

Bennett: What wall? Do you mean that pile of bricks over there? It doesn't really look like a wall.

Naomi: Oh look, some people are coming up and building something.

Rubix: As I was saying, about the se-

Jordan: -rious topic of Declan's brain surgery in restoring the brain cells he's losing by the minute.

Declan: Said the guy who-

Jordan: -is so awesome, you can look up the word on the dictionary and see a picture of my face, as well as being the synonym of hot.

Naomi: (Rolls eyes) As if.

Jordan: Yeah, you're right. I'm the opposite of hot, I'm cool.

Naomi: No, that's Bennett.

Bennett: ...Why did I have to come into this conversation? And stop bringing up what happened in Chapter Sixty-Five.

Declan: Wasn't it something about chipmunks mentioned there?

Rubix: GUYS! You're killing my readers! They can't mentally handle this! Haven't you read the comments- Oh wait.

Jordan: Okay, okay, we're sorry. Continue, Oh Great One.

Rubix: (Grumbles to herself) Yeah, you better call me that. I'm just one word away from killing you off.

Jordan: Sure, if you want my fanbase to return the favor, then by all means, go ahead.

Rubix: Back to what I was saying! This whole conversation was something to make you guys happy for the upcoming wait. Thank you all for being supportive and holding back the spamming questions of when the sequel will come out as which I will say, the end of the summer of 2016. I'm going through a lot in my side of the screen, and I really appreciate if you will all be supportive, patient, and keep being my awesome readers.

(Looks back at everyone) You guys did great, you went by the script, and everything went smoothly. Except for you Jordan, you didn't have to add that brain surgery part.

Declan: Yeah, I thought we made a deal.

Rubix: (Adds) Good job though.
