"It's amazing how many people don't stand up to bullies because they're scared of getting bullied themselves.

People should take a stand, because if bullies aren't stopped they can go too far.

It affects the victims' friends and family as well.

Called names

I used to get called all sorts of names because I'm very small.

I thought I could handle it because it was only name-calling, then my friends started to leave me because the bullies started having a go at them.

Lonely

I was lonely and I had a low self-esteem.

Since I stood up for myself things have really improved.

I have made new, loyal friends and I'm much more confident and my schoolwork has improved dramatically.

Help other people

Taking a stand was well worth it.

If you see someone being bullied, help them.

You'll feel brilliant after seeing how much you've helped that person."
