As someone who was severely bullied for 4 years of his life in Jr High and High School, this subject matter is VERY dear to my heart.  I was lucky enough to have enough strength to keep myself going, no matter what anyone said.  I didn't allow myself to sink past the point of no return, even though I sunk into a very dark place.  I pulled myself out of it.  But there are way too many people that can't, because they are pushed down so low.  And for no good reason.

Bullying is one of those topics that cannot be discussed enough.  The more we talk about it, the more we stand up for those that are being pushed down, the more it will hopefully disappear.  And if you are in the situation yourself, talk to someone.  Tell everyone that will listen.  Don't try to go through it alone.

Bullying must end.
