Calling People Names
Hey guys. So today, the topic is names.
Calling people names whether you think so or not is hurtful.
Sometimes, even when I'm joking around with my friends, and they say something like "you have no friends, lonerrr" I get hurt. I never acknowledge it because I know they will just call me a spaz and say I overreact.
Well it's okay to have these feelings.
I know, I know. I'm a teenager, and it's hard to stop calling people names.
Like I knew this girl, and in school I was completely and totally stuck on what to do. She obviously has some issues, and no one in the class liked her. She came off as kind of weird to me, but she would "joke" around with people in the class that didn't know her. I knew that if I talked to her, I would end up in an argument with her, because I didn't agree with her views, so I kept my mouth shut whenever people would talk to her, or even if she joined my friends and my conversation. She began to be rude to me, but I let it go. I decided I would only be mean to her if I was defending myself, which I did.
That solved every issue I had with her.
She went around class insulting people in front of the teacher, and the teacher wouldn't do anything. The teacher just sat there even as she called a person a very racist name.
She eventually got expelled, but that's beyond the point.
The point is, if you have nothing good to say
DON'T SAY IT AT ALL.
The way I handled things got around the school, and I was respected for my choice to not be rude to her.
I'm glad I was because I knew that if I said something, a little thing that starts with D and rhymes with Llama
would happen.
So if you have a comment, don't try to get attention or be the funny person in the room.
Just keep it to yourself.
With love,
Kaci<3

We Need More Recognition
Lets do everything we can to spread the word on bullying. Orange might not be that flattering but it's worth every word that you don't care about. Retweet, reply and post to @theROBBmovement on twitter. I'm already spreading it to as many people as possible! RT RT RT<3

Gossip.
So I have some tips for you guys on gossip.
To start off, it's hurtful and can be dangerous.
Gossip can start as simple and just making smalltalk and end up blown up to the point where someone gets hurt.
Example: "Did you see Hannah's makeup today? Oh my green beans she looked like someone smeared her lip gloss all over her face!"
And that could go to another person then another and it could end up being "Did you hear that Hannah was making out with Jerome before school? Yeah then Todd too!"
I'm not saying that this is guaranteed to happen, but it could.
Gossip can be avoided in many ways.
When someone says something to you, you can say things like
"Oh, well that's not good" and leave it alone or "well I gotta go"
If you're hardcore like me, say something like "I don't think it's right to talk about people. It WILL get back to you."
There are many ways to avoid gossip. A good way is to not talk about people, and when things happen, let them happen. Don't go around telling people what was said or done. It's none of your business.
The main key to think about- None of your business.
I wish I could get across to everyone that people all have issues.
You could be the star football player and have facial acne.
You could be the head cheerleader and had headgear as a kid.
Either way everyone has issues. Whether you look like a barbie or ken doll, or you just plain look original.
One more thing is originality.
Don't be emo just because you want to stand out.
Don't be the first girl to do it in your grade just to stand out from everyone else.
Don't cut yourself and show it to people just to get attention.
Show everyone the positive side of you:
A smart girl that has the potential to be getting straight A's
A great artist that can draw like it were to save their life.
A singer, that would be able to blow any of today's artists out of the room
A person that can act.
A person that can play soccer.
A person that can do calculus easily.
A person. With thoughts. And courage.
You know you are. And you know that life is not gonna be easy. But it can be easier if your easier on yourself and other people.
Take that and think about it.

ROBB
I want to do this because I've been in a position in bullying where I was broken. I felt limp and every bone in my body was revolved around my attacker.
I have been bullied enough. I stood up for myself, and I stopped it. I know you can too.
I'm starting a movement called Reach Out to Broken Bones, or ROBB (blogspot name was taken guys, so I had to change it to ROTBBA on blogspot). If you felt weak and alone, believe me, it will be over. I had been a victim of bullying for years. Even now I still am. But I am done with keeping it silent. I'm tired of silent souls crying out in the night when no one hears them because it was too late too fast.
What is ROBB?
ROBB is a movement (Reach Out to Broken Bones) to stop bullying and to get people to stop robbing other people of their future, and start ROBBing them. It is started on this 6th day of November, 2011. What I do is I go to websites known for bullying, and stand up for others.
What is bullying?
*THE DEFINITION OF BULLYING*
Have you ever been bullied, feeling worthless or afraid?

Have you ever been bullied, feeling worthless or afraid?
If you say no, your lying. It affects everyone.
I can help you.
Reach out to me and I will help you I promise. I don't judge anyone, I will not call you any names.
I may be young, but so are the people losing faith every day.
It almost only affects the youth of America.
We are young. We need to worry about nothing. Some bully can't put a roadblock in our life because they have no self-respect and they feel the need to take it out on us.
It's our turn to gain self respect.

There are people dying a little more inside every day, losing hope because someone called them names like
- fat
- ugly
- stupid
- faggot
- whore
- slut
- prude
- bitch
- dyke
- The "N" word.
**IF YOU WOULDN'T SAY IT IN PERSON, DON'T SAY IT ONLINE!!**
I'm tired of others feeling worthless
Everyone is special. Say that out loud.
Everyone is special. Say that out loud.
Everyone is special.
Everyone is special.
Everyone is special.
Everyone has something to live up to. If you bully them, you're just putting a road block into their future. That kid that you call faggot everyday could grow older to be the BEST heart surgeon anyone ever knew, but you put a roadblock into their future by bullying them. What happens if they commit suicide? Don't care now? Well guess what. In the future of yours that you stopped them from having, you could have the deadliest heart condition ever. Only surgeon faggot (you know the one that you bullied during high school that cut the cords on himself) can save you. But he's not here.
If someone says something mean about your best friend, DO NOT tell them unless it completely relevant to their well being.
Something relevant would sound like this.
"I'm telling you this because I'm your friend. A girl said she was going to hurt you."
Something irrelevant would sound like this:
"This person said you were a bitch. Don't tell her I told you!"
If your best friend tells you something like this that you know there is no point in them telling you except to hurt you, just tell them, "listen, I don't feel comfortable listening to other peoples opinions. I am happier not knowing them."
Let the person saying it say it. It's their opinion. If they are harming you and you don't know it, there's no point in knowing except to know what people think about you.
BE YOURSELF. IT'S THE ONLY PERSON YOU HAVE THAT WILL STICK WITH YOU NO MATTER WHAT.
Friends are like seasons. They come and they go. You are the only person you've got.

I will get more into that some other time.
Know the facts.
- There are 4,400 suicides per year, and for every one suicide, there are 100 attempts.
- A Over 14% of high school students consider committing suicide, and 7% have attempted it.
- A study in Britain found that at least half of suicides in young people are related to bullying.
- Nearly 30% of students are either bullies or are a victim of bullying
- Girls from the age of 10 to 14 are more likely to commit suicide.
What I do.
What I do is I go on websites known for people being rude or mean to each other, and I stand up for those who are being bullied. I will not bully people. If someone says something mean to another person over a chat or something, I will simply say, "that was not nice", or "that was mean", or "you are acting like a bully and I do not appreciate it. It's making me uncomfortable." If they continue to bully, tell the website's service provider and have them handle it or just tell someone. I recruit others to join my movement, ROBB, over the internet, and in school. High school and middle school can be a tough place to be. Nothing will matter after you hit college. I swear.
What Can You Do?
I will always need people to help me with putting a stop to bullying.
Bullying is a huge issue everywhere these days. We can stop it faster if you just tell people these things. Help me spread the ROBB.
Tell people. Tell your
