I bet you won't read this, 'friends'.I bet you won't read this, "friends".

Sometimes we just want life to end. We want to escape our pain and stop our suffering. We don't belive what anybody says about how life is hard sometimes but that it'll work out and that we'll make it. We're sorry, but we can't belive that in that moment. On the edge of life and death. We don't think about being grateful for being able to walk, see, hear, eat good food, drink clean water and breath fresh air.

Some of us don't even have that.

Unless you're in the same boat as us you do not have any right to judge. We're not hurting ourselves and others in the process, for attention. We are not using the

Your Knives, My PensHe was the boy that sat alone in class. The one with his headphones always in, blasting them at extremely loud volumes to block out the cruel world around him. The world of hateful words and nasty remarks. Of school-side beatings and hate around every corner. A world where music was the only thing that could block it all out, and, even if it's only for a couple minutes, make you happy.

That was his world.

The world where you were damned to hell if you were a "goth" or "emo". If you were a guy who wore makeup, you were labelled as a "fag". A world where you were constantly laughed at for everything that you are. It wasn't a pleasant place. I

A Call to ActionI'm done pretending
that I'm someone I'm not.
I'm done trying to fit in
just so you stop teasing me.
I have thought of suicide
since the day I heard the word
and knew what it meant.
But I never did,
because it meant that
you would win once again
and I would lose like always.
So those thoughts are done
once and for all.

I'm tired of bending
just so you can jump over me.
From now on you'll be the one
bowing to me
when you see how great I can be.
It's not my fault you can't
recognize greatness when you
shove it out of the way.
One day I'll be famous and successful,
helping those that you though worthless
and threw in the

Mom's GoodbyeI stand, with shaking legs, staring at the name tapped to the hospital door. It is my mother's name that I see, a name I never wanted to see in the hospital. I raise my finger to my lips, start nibbling on the last fingernail left. I've bitten through all the other nails. With a shaking hand I reach forward, knock way too lightly.

The door creaks open, and it's my father's face I see. It's a bright red, his nose like Rudolph's, his eyes glazed over with old, unshed and shed tears. His hair is greasy and devilish, like he hasn't showered in days. He probably hasn't. Dad looks like he's gone through hell. He probably has.

Dad allows me inside

Staying StrongWhen you want to tell someone how you feel,
But you don't think they would care,
Anyone would be enough,
Keeping it bottle up... It hurts so much.

Something bad happens,
You need to vent,
But there is no one to hear you,
How else can you get the emotions out?

It makes you feel so alone,
Along with what other things you call yourself,
You need to escape and get away,
Then you go to your last resort.

It works for you and takes it all way,
Even though it is for a short while,
But it is better than nothing,
It's not like it is affecting anyone else.

But you know you need to stop,
You shouldn't be doing these things to yourself,

*edit*: Yeah, I know this is not perfect in artistic matters.. ^^ I barely do any text art and it is a bit effect-overloaded, but I just tried to emphasize the message, which is the most important thing here. And this deviation is rather addressed to the people, who bully others to be part of the peer and to be cool or popular. It is not to the ones, who have problems with themselves or in their families and who dont know better. These people need to stop bullying as well, but I wont judge them, because they probably just got as many problems as the people they are bullying.
Aaand, to all the people who commented: I am sorry I cannot reply to everyone of you, but I didnt expect such an amount of comments! I read through EVERY comment, but it would take many hours to get back to everyone. It is really sad to see how many of you experienced bullying, this world is truly a cruel place (not in every matter). Please always keep in mind: You are perfect the way you are. As long as you dont harass others for who they are, you are much more beautiful and nice than all the bullies are. I believe in God and I believe, that some day there will be a fair judgement. And all the ones, who stayed strong and kept being generous and brave hearted, will be really happy and lucky!

But that doesnt mean you shouldnt defend yourselves. Talk to people you trust and never loose your self-respect. Everyone is special and unique! Dont let anyone bring you down!

It is kinda alarming and at the same time hilarious what people consider to be "cool" today (I hate that word, don't mind the quotation marks..). I experienced it everywhere and especially in school, that people just give others the feeling they are worthless, to feel better themselves or to be part of the "cool" ones.

BULLYING IS NOT COOL!

Luckily, I myself wasn't bullied in school, but I know a lot of people, even in my own family, who suffered so hard from bullying that they thought about committing suicide. In my school, a 14-years-old girl hung herself in her parent's wardrobe, because she was bullied in her class. And you know how the people in my class reacted? They said: "Well, I didn't know her, so why should I care?"

But if WE don't care, WHO ELSE cares???

So please, I know there are many people out there, who hate bullying and people thinking they are "cool" just as much as I do... but to the ones, who tend to do such things (maybe because they are afraid of becoming an outsider as well): JUST STOP IT! PLEASE! Bullying is just as fatal and as cruel as physical violence. Just imagine everyone would give YOU the feeling to be worthless and to be useless... We have to accept everyone as he/she is, everyone is different, else life would be so boring. There is no "cool" and "uncool".

"Cool" are only the ones, who stand up for others and accept everyone as he/she is.

If you agree with me, you can add this to your favs so many people can see it and share it in a journal/deviation, on facebook/Twitter/Tumblr or wherever you want. This is what you can do to spread awareness, it's just a few clicks and takes some minutes. Thank you!

(I felt like this needed to be said...)

And tell me in the comments: What do you think about that topic? Do you have any experiences with bullying?

I love This Colorful & inspiring poster you've made! It is a good message too teenagers like me that bullying isn't cool or makes you popular, it makes you look like a complete idiot. I once had a teacher, she was so nice and kind to everyone but because of her looks, accent, and the way she acts, Everyone bullied her. She committed suicide about 2 years later. Bullying really has to end and kids need to understand that this is how god made everyone. They can't help if the look a certain way, its how they were born and they cannot help it.

This is an amazing deviation which has a VERY important message in it. Bullying is NEVER right. Making others feel worthless is just a bully's way of getting attention because they know that they will not be liked for the right and just reasons. Bullying RUINS LIVES. This deviation is SIMPLE but one of the most MEANIGFUL ones on dA. Bullying leads to MANY, MANY people commiting suicide. THOUSANDS of lives will be saved if bullies just kept their HORRIBLE opinions to themselves. Bullies are jealous cowards who think that they can get away with spoiling someone's happy life WITHOUT the harsh consequences.

You know how we took care of bullies back in my day? We would kick em' in the nuts!

I used to go to a Baptist school so bullying was not as common as in other schools but it was still there though. After awhile I moved to a Charter school where bullying is much more common. I began to noticed that some of the kids in my class were being bullied. I understood why some of the kids didn't like them, some of them I didn't even like but I knew better than to act on it. I had had it put in my head to treat others as equals so even if I don't like them I should still be kind to them.

Everytime I here them being insulted or talked about I get angry. Sure, maybe they've done some stuff in their past but look at yourselves you're not as great as you seem either. I could probably come up with a whole bunch of insults to you yet you act like you're better than them!

They're human too! They have feelings. Nobody has a right to treat people like that!

It. Just. Ain't. Hot.

With all the North Korean stuff going on right now, people have decided it would be funny to make fun of me for this and say I'm not on the american side, and that my inner Korean will come out and I'll attack them all. I've been crying for the past two hours and it hasn't really stopped. I don't know...I've been bullied since I could remember for being both adopted and Korean, but the older I get the worse it gets.

High School is a terrible place. I didn't even really know why I was bullied. I thought maybe it's because I wasn't acting like everyone else, maybe because I didn't look right, because I was fat. I'm thinking most likely it was because I was fat (and I still am and I'm trying to fix myself). But either way, it seems the WORST of bullying seems to begin in Middle School and reaches it's WORST in High School. I also believe, it's mostly the PARENTS fault. I remember confronting one of my bullies parents at school, and she told me right to my face that her son wasn't doing anything that I was over-reacting. So, yeah, High School is a horrible place to be is my point.

ALL BULLIES MUST BURN IN HELL! BULLYING IS DUMB, PETHATIC, STUPID. THIS MUST STOP FOR GOD SAKE!!

~cinccino-kyurem Mar 4, 2013

Wow. Amazing and straightforward. Very well done!

I have some experiences with bullying - not very physical bulling, but more mental bulling. If that sounds odd then I'll just use the words "being excluded" and not for good reason either.

I've been bullied since I was 10 :C
It died down now, but it still happens sometimes, but I learned to ignore it and instead, I set myself a goal

I'm gonna be way better than them in life, I want to become a film director, I'm doing Media studies and want to go on to University for Film Studies, and I know I'm going to make it!
The bullying just strengthens me in this, I'm gonna show them all!

Oh, and I love the poster, it's so true C:
