There are bullies in every school. Some schools are worse than most, and it can be hard to figure out the right way to stop it from happening.
Bullying has been around since the dawn of time, and it's time to put an end to it once and for all. No child deserves to be picked on. Furthermore, no child should ever feel the need or desire to pick on another child.
Both parents and schools are responsible for controlling bullying in their communities. Of course, it starts with teaching each individual child to treat others with kindness and respect, and to learn what it means to empathize with another's feelings. But it's also up to schools to deal with bullies if they are wreaking havoc in their classrooms, hallways, and playgrounds.
This teen, who has asked to remain unnamed to prevent further ridicule, has been bullied his whole life. He has to wear a device in order to hear, and the other kids made fun of him for that.
Once he was made a target, the kids never let up.
His family moved multiple times to change schools, yet the bullying still continued. He still couldn't escape the torture. He started skipping class, secluding himself, and even came close to committing suicide.
He never wants another child to feel the way he felt. This is why he and his mother are both speaking out to raise awareness that this is still a very real problem. See what each of them have to say below.
