121. Help Stop Me Being A Bullying Target 
I'm being hurt lots and lots and it needs to stop. One of the bullies even tried to tip me out of my wheelchair.
122. Every person earning over $100 a week should have to donate at least $1 to poorer countries
Every 3 seconds, a child dies of disease or starvation in poor countries such as africa. 1... 2... 3... another just died. They often go for days without food or water, and children as young as 4 are looking after their younger siblings, and learning how to survive on their own.
These children appreciate every little morsel of food they recieve! they face a hard torturous life day after day, and they have nothing to look forward to, or aim towards because recieving a decent education, even though they would love one.
Yet in richer countries like USA and UK and Australia, children take education for granted. They deliberately skip school, and they get food whenever they like, as much as they like. if every person in these richer countries who earned over $100 a week, gave just $1, there would be a huge difference in these peoples lifes. They could get fresh clean water supplies, from built in wells. They could buy farming tools for growing their own food, and they could recieve a better education, that would help a lot in the future of the countries wealth. Millions of children's lives would be saved from unnessicary deaths, and they would, for once in their lives, have something to smile about. Yet the richer people would hardly notice it was gone from them!
I believe that the governments of richer and more developed countries, should make it illegal not to donate money if you earn more than $100 a week.
123. Stop dogs getting eaten in South Korea
In South Korea, dogs are continuously murdered and tortured to extents that you can not imagine. They are put into cages where there is so little room, that they can not move or stand. Then they wait for sometimes days or weeks, with no food or water AT ALL, until they are dragged out of the cage, and murdered!
The evil people who do this do not even do it in a humane way, they just simply put a tin can over their mouth to make them easier to handle, then they grab their delicate legs and pull them back over and tie them at their backs. This dislocates their limbs, and the are hung up and left to die slowly so they are fresher for the customers to eat!
Please have a look at the pictures and have the heart to sign this and send it to as many friends as you can! Thanks.
This petition will be sent to the South Koreans Government, but to do this i need 1000 signatures.
View petition124. Stop child abuse and domestic violence Now!
Domestic abuse does not stop at the physicaly abused party, it contributes to the children involved mentally, which can be worse than the phisical.
I have been left mentaly scar'd by the mental abuse i received from my father, i am now 24 years of age and he still has a hold on me.
This issue has to be raised and help needs to be given to all the children who's lives are shattered by abusive parents mentaly or physicaly.
I call for anyone who feels the same, has been in the situation or can help me run a charitable organization to help people who suffer, to please give that help if they can.
125. Child abuse, not acceptable
I have been in this sitch. its not easy, but just recently, i got help. Tell a trusted adult, or a teacher. tell the truth. you cant get into trouble if you tell the truth.
It may take a while, i had to wait in the police station for 11 hours in my pj's, but it'll all work out. i am only 12, and i went through ALOT. if i can cross the road, almost collapsing under my twisted ankel, you can too.
No ones going to think any less of you if tell. In fact, every one was so proud of me, because, after 10 or so years of abuse, physical and mental, i spoke up.
Casey Jenson is my 11 year old cousin. From what I have been told, be it from lawyers or family members, my cousin has been restricted from all rights to see his family.
He has a very rare blood disorder, and is on his death bed. He was beaten, abused, made-fun of, and hated by his own family members, all except for me and my father. I want to see Casey again, I miss him dearly. I would appreciate it if you would help me see him again.
CPS has him in their custody, and he has been for a while. But even in their care, he was neglected. I'm not asking for custody, just a visit, even if it is a supervised one. I just want to see him again. Please help.
127. End The Genocide In Darfur
THESE PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY ALONE! The peace keepers who were there as of September 30th are gone. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
3,000 Canadian troops are currently in Afghanistan slaughtering innocent people - a mere 100 are in Africa helping. That's right, that's for the entire Continent. WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR PEACE KEEPERS?
These people don't have protection, food, clean water, clothing, shelter or water. Right now as you read this thousands of people are STARVING to death, being SHOT or RAPED.
We NEED to come together and DO SOMETHING about these attrocities before it's too late.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning of 2003 a rebel group began attacking government targets. Why? They claimed the government was oppressing black Africans in favour of Arabs. Although the government admits mobilising " Self Defense Militias " after the rebel attacks, it denies having any connection to the Janjaweed, who are a militia drawn from Darfurian and Chadian Arab tribes that became known for massacre, rape and forced displacement in 2003-2004.
Many of the civilians from Darfur have been forced to flee for safety as the result of maniacal raids of the state-sponsored Arab militias and government helicopter gun ships. So far, 400,000 lives have been taken.
The Sudanese government has promised to disarm the Janjaweed, yet there is little evidence that this has been done.
As of late 2004, 1.2 million people had been displaced from their homes, 200,000 had fled to Chad, 405 villages had been destroyed ( 100 others significantly damaged ), and 50,000 people had been killed. All this in only one year.
The lives of the women, men and children in Darfur are in danger. Not only are they being killed by the Janjaweed, but they don't have enough food, water or medicine to survive. I'm not asking you to donate money, or even food or clothing. All I'm asking is that you take the time to sign this.
You may be thinking, " Why should I care? These people aren't related to me. They have never helped me in any way. " But the truth is, they ARE people. Like you and I, they don't want to suffer. They love, they breathe, they feel, just like us.
You have a choice right now, you can allow this to continue, or you can stand up for the victims of these attrocities in Darfur.
If enough people sign this petition, something will be done. Don't under estimate the power of one person.
128. Abolish School Uniforms at Greenville Schools
July 24, 2006
Kids,parents, and teachers alike do not want school uniforms.
Let me begin by saying that I am not fundamentally against uniforms. I am against uniforms being mandated in free public schools.
Private schools are not part of this petition, as they are private and can make their own rules. Therefore, you do not have to attend a private school if you do not agree with their policies, where as you do have to attend a public school.
This policy is not only a direct violation of First Amendment rights to free expression, it violates a parent's right to decide, individually, what is best for their child and their family.
The decision of some parents to send their children to school in uniform is not the problem. The fact that there decision is being imposed on there child without there permission is the problem. Children are being punished and shunned because of minor violations of these uniform policies. In most cases, the selling point of a uniform policy was to avoid this problem, yet it is now being taught and practiced by the educators themselves.
The education of the children has eroded terribly in this country. Yet time and effort is being wasted on whether or not a child's clothing is the right color, or whether or not they are wearing the correct fashion accessory. We need to stop allowing ours, and our parent's rights to freedom to be so easily taken away.
The children themselves will feel like just a number to the teachers with no individuality. A child's clothing is an expression of his/her personality. Nobody wants to go to a school that infringes on their rights and the parents' pocket books with total disregard for the parent and child's feelings in this matter.
I'm absolutely sick and tired of people ridiculously claiming that school uniforms somehow uphold respect and discipline when there is not one shred of evidence that this is the case and plenty to support that it isn't.
Secondly, the equally preposterous statement that they apparently reduce bullying is INSANE. Nowadays, perfectly decent fashionable clothes can be bought at a fraction of the cost to that of a standard blazer. Therefore it's nonsense to suggest that poorer children will get picked on for there supposed "rags" that they apparently wear to school.
I understand that there are bullies out there that will pick on anyone about anything, whether you are wearing walmart brand jeans or a more expensive brand of jeans. Kids have to learn how to deal with these situations, it's just another step in life. And if these bullies cant pick on you about clothing there is always where your family went for spring break, and what kind of car your mom drives. They will always be able to find something, uniforms don't solve that issue even the slightest bit.
In short, I'm taking up this campaign because of the false example and "standards" that are meant to set by wearing uniforms, but mainly because of its complete irrelevance to our society. The idea that teenagers and those even younger should dress and act as mini adults is laughably absurd! So come on, please support this campaign.
Please sign this petition it will be a great help in getting rid of uniforms.
129. Stop Animal Torture and Experiments
July 21, 2006
Why people torture and experiment on animals? We think it helps us, when it does just the opposite of that. Many animals are being tortured and killed for our silly items, and it does nothing… in fact, it’s bad for us as well as them, for humans get sick and some die from items that were even tested on animals. A food or medicine that gives health to an animal just might be poison to a human, and it might not, You can’t trust it.
The truth is that animal tests teach us next to nothing about the health of humans because other species react differently. They absorb, metabolize, and eliminate substances differently than humans do. Testing on animals isn't just unreliable, it's also unnecessary. There are more effective, and often, less expensive, non-animal alternatives that can be used instead. ---Peta.org
You may go shopping and be looking for an animal-tested shampoo so you can use it on your dog or cat, but that shampoo probably wasn’t tested on a dog or cat… so that doesn’t work either.
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, and the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming… America. The land of the free and the home of the brave! If America is so free, why is there animals locked up in cages just to get their mouths stuffed with the new ultra-whitening toothpaste, or to get smothered in the great aqua-colored, super soft baby powder that just came out?
Face it. Animal experimenting does absolutely nothing but hurt animals and people. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, mice, hamsters, they’re all bred and raised to be experimented on.
SAVE THE ANIMALS.
STOP THE EXPERIMENTING.
