I have been the victim of extreme bullying, so much so that 2 of a gang could be id'd and they received juvenile criminal records. You have no idea how horrible bullying can be unless you are the target of them. I Don't care" was my song featured at this event to help bring a positive message for kids to think more of themselves than the course comments, and destructive actions on your mind, heart and soul. Count your self in- and make the bullies stand down. Let s not lose kids or adults to suicide- Please do whatever you can to change how bullying is viewed to a life altering event. It takes a lot to overcome it every day.
