&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a horrible day, and I thought none of my family members could care less. But then my grandma saw my hand that I was wrapping up with some bandaids and stuff, and she was freaking out and asking me what’s wrong. I love my grandma, it shows someone cares. But I told her it was an accident. I wish someone could have confronted me about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;:( no one should be bullied. Be strong and #mutethesilence against bullying. Speak up for yourself, and ask for help. Someone cares.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906458681</link><guid>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906458681</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jan 2011 15:01:38 +0800</pubDate><category>help</category><category>hope</category><category>care</category><category>courage</category><category>bullied</category><category>anti</category><category>bullying</category><category>control</category><category>speak</category><category>up</category><category>mute</category><category>the</category><category>silence</category><category>ask</category></item><item><title>its too late  </title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://killerdebate.tumblr.com/post/2821891142"&gt;killerdebate&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its way to late. Its to late to change the way my family, my school, and even my friends think of me. Everyone thinks I’m gay and I honestly don’t know how to change it. Ignoring it is not an option any more becuase people actually do think I like men. I don’t know what to do. Someone just guide me. Help me through this. Please.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can do this. You have already taken the first step to #mutethesilence and ask for help. Be strong, you don&amp;#8217;t deserve to be bullied. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906435123</link><guid>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906435123</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:58:53 +0800</pubDate><category>courage</category><category>help</category><category>speak</category><category>up</category><category>mute</category><category>the</category><category>silence</category><category>gay</category><category>anti</category><category>bullying</category><category>stop</category><category>control</category></item><item><title>hypeoflife:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes when I see someone being a bully, I can’t help but feel sorry for them. I know one day they will regret there whole life because all they were was mean and took life for granted. And the one taking the hit, you know they will be an amazing person inside and out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city, and all you’re ever gonna be is mean. Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me, and all you’ll ever gonna be is mean.” - Taylor Swift&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sometimes the bullies are the ones who need help too #mutethesilence&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906413154</link><guid>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906413154</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:56:22 +0800</pubDate><category>mute</category><category>the</category><category>silence</category><category>help</category><category>hope</category><category>change</category><category>courage</category><category>stop</category><category>bullying</category><category>anti</category></item><item><title>Life After Procrastination: Bullying</title><description>&lt;a href="http://egibney.tumblr.com/post/2808530444"&gt;Life After Procrastination: Bullying&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://egibney.tumblr.com/post/2808530444"&gt;egibney&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I think it’s time for a serious Tumblr post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic particularly because of how it relates to my experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was bullied for a majority of my young life. Starting from when I was 6, I can remember the first instance when I felt someone laugh &lt;em&gt;at&lt;/em&gt; me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yes it does get better when you #mutethesilence and speak up against bullying. Good job. We are proud of you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906398162</link><guid>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906398162</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:54:39 +0800</pubDate><category>stop</category><category>anti</category><category>bullying</category><category>love</category><category>better</category><category>mute</category><category>the</category><category>silence</category><category>speak</category><category>up</category><category>control</category><category>courage</category><category>change</category></item><item><title>Have the courage to change things.

I’m going to go to one of the up coming board...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lf9fw5bw0N1qe5tuqo1_100.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lifeofrachel.tumblr.com/post/2824194472"&gt;lifeofrachel&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m going to go to one of the up coming board meetings for my school district and talk to them about the way teachers react when bullying is reported them. I tried for 2 years in middle school to get help from a teacher and was ignored  and that pushed me to slf-injure. Than when I was in recovery from self-injury I tried again to report it and was told to ignore the bullies.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I’ve also found out that my little sister’s best friend is being harassed and the school refuses to switch her classes so she can get away fromt the kids. What kind of crap is that?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As a child in elementary school you are taught to go to an adult if you are being bullied but when someone does nothing happens. Doesn’t that put the blame on not only the bullies but the teachers that ignored the bullying when a child takes their life because of being picked on? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;No one deserves to be bullied. Let us make a collective effort to help ourselves and others #mutethesilence and be in control of their own lives, and speak up against bullying.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906358190</link><guid>http://mutethesilence0.tumblr.com/post/2906358190</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:50:12 +0800</pubDate><category>help</category><category>anti</category><category>bullying</category><category>hope</category><category>speak</category><category>up</category><category>love</category><category>life</category><category>effort</category><category>mute</category><category>the</category><category>silence</category></item><item><title>Naked: Bullying Glee</title><description>&lt;a href="http://morriscohj.tumblr.com/post/2842254576"&gt;Naked: Bullying Glee&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://morriscohj.tumblr.com/post/2842254576"&gt;morriscohj&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I watched my second episode of Glee the other week. I don’t watch the show and I don’t plan on it, but my friends were watching so I decided to join. In the episode, the new football coach (can’t remember her name) arrived and the evil cheerleader coach (don’t know her name either) and the Glee…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Message to all those people that have insisted on making me feel worthless and treating me like crap these past few years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’re wankers, all total utter wankers, you mean nothing to me and i’d like nothing more than to never see you again, ever ever ever, of course I know that won’t happen, so…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and they’ve made me realize so much about myself. and why I’m so afraid to stand up to her. but now, I’m gonna start living in the moment and stop dwelling on the past. i think I’m ready to start being myself. I am a strong person deep down. It’s just been buried under all the bullying I had been through. enough is enough. It’s time I deal with this once and for all.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes. Be empowered to #mutethesilence and speak up! &lt;/p&gt;
