Create circles of support.
For persons bullied, we must offer effective solutions to prevent them from resorting to cosmetic surgery, suicide, or fatal acts of revenge. We can build self-esteem and teach assertive communication skills. For bullies, we must consider their behavior as a cry for help. We can hold them accountable, but also assist them in seeking counseling. Bullying is a systemic problem that everyone can play a role in addressing. Let’s raise our level of awareness and teach the lessons.
