October Is National Bullying Prevention Month

Sadly, bullying is a real issue in our society. It can honestly happen to anyone. Even as we grow older, bullying is still an issue. Some people think it only happens to school-aged individuals. I am here to tell you that is not the case. I was bullied in school, in college, in the workplace, and in relationships. It knows no boundaries. Some people can just be outright cruel toward other human beings. We should not be tolerating this. We should stand up for the people who are being bullied. We should be helping one another, not tearing each other down.

Being bullied can lead to anxiety, frustration, increased stress, low self-esteem, sadness, depression, and suicide. Take every negative emotion and feeling, and that is what being bullied can do to a person.
