Quotes

“Bullying should never be taken lightly—it can leave scars that last a lifetime and affect mental health, self-esteem, and social abilities.”

“The earlier you start addressing bullying, the better—younger children can learn how to express their feelings and protect themselves before patterns become entrenched.”

“Both victims and bullies need guidance and therapy; punishment alone does not teach the bully what they are doing or help the victim recover.”

“If you let bullying happen, it stays in your head forever unless you wake up to it and take action—it’s a big step, but it’s liberating.”
