In today's schools, bullying is a big deal, when I was growing up the awareness of bullying and the concern for its prevention was nonexistent. Therefore youth like me had to learn how to cope with bullying and this wasn't easy to do. Bullying scar my mental health for many years. I've learned how to overcome the effects of bullying from my youth and adulthood. Yet it's imperative for youth today to understand how damaging bullying can be to their peers, and why we should all find better ways to use our words and hands among one another. This presentation will discuss the facts about the effects of bullying on a statistical and national scale, and will dive deep into the silent battles people are fighting everyday as a result of being bullied by their peers, co-workers, and members of their community. The presenter will share some personal stories of his experience and the things he had to do to overcome the horrible experience of being bullied verbally and physically.
