My brother was bullied during this middle school and high school years. Yet, my brother learned martial arts as a way to defense. However, I was more of an resorted in listening to music and keep all my emotions to myself. I learned over the years the power of speaking out and having a great support system.

Bullies start at a young age and carry on, this helps them feel good about what they are doing and who they are as a person.

The social stressor of school such as bullying is incredibly detrimental to already vulnerable minds.
