EP 888 – Stop The Bullying

The longer someone is bullied, the more likely they are to develop physical, emotional, and psychological scars that can last a lifetime.

The four most common types of bullying are: Verbal, Social, Physical and Cyber Bullying.

Bullying can be devastating, leaving a person withdrawn, shy, and insecure. It can trigger a variety of stress-related illnesses, cause relationship difficulties, and upset productivity and engagement.

Unrelenting bullying can lead a person to take their own life.
