It's NOT a phase!

People keep saying, "Oh, anti-bullying awareness is just a phase. In the next few years they'll be on to something else." Except it's NOT a phase. It's not a trend on Twitter or the latest hot band. It's life! 56% of students in the United States have personally felt some sort of bullying at school. The worst part is that between 4th and 8th grade in particular, 90% of students are victims of bullying. Not have been victims, ARE victims! When nearly 100% of 4th through 8th graders are being bullied, that's not a "phase." That's not a trend! Children's lives depend on anti-bullying awareness, so no matter what people think of the awareness, I will never give in to their so called "phase." I will never give up my dream of changing the world or at least the lives of children around the world! Anti-bullying awareness is not a phase. It's something that needs to be in our world. It is something that I won't let die.
