It happens. We all know it does. Fighting back is what a lot of people resort to in order to make the bullying stop. Many parents sign their kids up for self-defence or martial arts lessons in hope they’ll build thei...

The Most Affective Strategy When Faced with a Bully

5 Reasons You Were Bullied
I’m yet to meet anyone who has been bullied that doesn’t continue to believe, even if it’s only in a small way, that they were bullied for a reason.

Some examples are too tall, too short, not clever enough, not popular enough, not pretty enough. Maybe they believe it was the colour of their hair, the way they dressed. The list ...
