One’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.

Often the right path is the one that may be hardest for you to follow. But the hard path is also the one that will make you grow as a human being.


“I would rather be a little nobody, then to be a evil somebody."

“Life is a fight, but not everyone’s a fighter. Otherwise, bullies would be an endangered species.”

“Often the right path is the one that may be hardest for you to follow. But the hard path is also the one that will make you grow as a human being.”

“With ignorance comes fear- from fear comes bigotry. Education is the key to acceptance.”

“A lot of people believe that mental illness does not affect our children within the school system. But the truth is that a lot of bullying stems from untreated or poorly treated mental and behavioral health problems.”

“It’s funny when I’m cyber bullied(anonymously) because when people do it to me,I don’t think of how much I want to hurt them or punch them in the face like my friends do…but I go on this site and write a quote to them back, hoping to kill them with kindness.”

“All the whispering, glaring, pointing and judging makes them no better than whoever or whatever it is they’re gossiping about.”

“When a bully is held accountable for his actions, his future actions will change. Bad behavior only continues for those who allow it.”

“The common mistake that bullies make is assuming that because someone is nice that he or she is weak. Those traits have nothing to do with each other. In fact, it takes considerable strength and character to be a good person.”

The internet can be used as a place to have a greater positive impact on the world, There’s a ton of positive initiatives online. The web should be used to inspire others, not spread hate or to hurt others."

Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else’s expense. And I find that that’s just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else’s feelings.

Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.

Everyone in America likely has a bullying story, whether as the victim, bully or as a witness.

It would appear that the Cyber bullies do not wish to comment?

I've always subscribed to, "Be kind to yourself, because nobody else is gonna be kind to you."

Of course that's not totally true, I have been a recipient of kindness from many people around.

But life can be a total war zone sometimes if you do not want to fit into the crowd and go with the flow.

Going against the flow will surely cause you to get attack alot and what usually results in it, is you become a leader or an outcast.

Either one usually feels fine to me.

I always believe that if you strongly believe in yourself and what you stand for, regardless how unpopular it is, you will still always inspire like-minded people to come out of the shadows and support you, because you inspired them to be themselves as well, and they identified with you. They will just be drawn to your strength of unwavering conviction for your beliefs, however unpopular they are.
