ROBB

Hi, I'm Kaci Hurley. I'm here to stop bullying. At school, at home, and on the web.

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*

Bullying(verb) -Use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.

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.

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 you think it will hurt someone, don't say it. Even your best friend could be doing it to you.

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.

These are real statistics. The CDC even says so.

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

• Friends
• Family
• Teachers
• Counselor
• Post it on Facebook or Twitter
• Blog about it
• Tell anyone you can.
