I used to hear about bullies and I never took it series I thought it was a joke-word for some random group of naughty boys, looking for attention, nothing serious.
I woke up recently from my sleep only to smell the coffee, after the passing of one young man who had been bullied to death.. The scenario, or the condition that brought about his death is so bad, controversial and complicated. It touched so many lives around the globe. The thought of it, it is so dreadful. What happened earlier to lead to such an end, is a mystery.
I was so touched by this incident that I’ve decided to dig deeper into this topic. I know, my son has been complaining about bullying issue at his school, but I was like handcaft also. One moment he will talk about it, when I want to intervene as to go to his school he will not allow me. He will tell me that boys don’t run to their mothers. But, what he did not know is that he was dealing with a mentally unwell individuals, who could potentially smear off that spirit unto him, unknowingly.
