Youth Testimonies I think I could put up with a certain amount of

bullying, but if it got really hurtful, I would speakout.

Unless they are threatening your life or the lifeof someone you know, it shouldnt matter.

I think most kids are reluctant to tell someone

because they think it makes them look like a littlekid who is tattling.
