    “But sometimes, people kick you to the ground at recess because they think the shape of your eyes is funny. They lunge at you because they see a vulnerable body. Or a different skin color. Or a different name. Or a girl. They think that you won't hit back - that you'll just lower your eyes and hide. And sometimes, to protect yourself, to make it go away, you do.

    But sometimes, you find yourself standing in exactly the right position, wielding exactly the right weapon to hit back.”

    “Every time you post something online, you have a choice.
    You can either make it something that adds to the happiness levels in the world—or you can make it something that takes away.

    I tried to add something by starting Girl Online.

    And for a while, it really seemed to be working.

    So, next time you go to post a comment or an update or share a link, ask yourself: is this going to add to the happiness in the world?

    And if the answer is no, then please delete.

    There is enough sadness in the world already. You don’t need to add to it.”

    “Everyone I say stop bullying it is sad and tears someones heart apart and next thing they do is Suicide because they think that is the right next step!
    If you are a Person who gets bullied find someone who will stop this! Don't just kill yourself for the other person to be happy because you are gone! They are just jealous of you and want to start problems and make you a troublemaker! Ignore those mean cruel evil people in you life and spend time with the nice caring sweet loving angels of yours! :D
    Because bullying is a dumb and stupid waste of time!
    Try to shake it off the mean hurtful stuff and keep on doing the right stuff that is going to help you become a better person and when i say a better person i mean more than a better person!

    “You aren't those words. You aren't the shouts and names. You aren't the awful things spat at you like flavorless gum. You aren't the punches or the bruises they cause. You aren't the blood running from your nose. You aren't under their control. You are not theirs.

    Inside you is always the part of you that no one can touch. You are you. You are your own and inside you is the universe. You can be whatever you want. You can be anyone.

    Don't be afraid. You don't have to be afraid anymore.”
