Ep16: Truth & Coffee Time Podcast - Bullied as a child; Scarred as an adult
This is a really tough topic that touches so many lives as well as our own personal childhood. Bullied as a child; Scarred as an adult, is a reality for a lot of us, if not us, then definitely someone we know or even our own children. This reality can be daunting to even attempt to maneuver through our everyday life as a child and even worse as we try to avoid continuing to be a scarred victim as an adult.
Updated statistics state that 1 out of every 5 students reports being bullied. But, just think about the students that are not reporting it out of fear or embarrassment. Our society has normalized so much crazy behavior and in turn, will criticize the victims for coming forward. Most students know that it will continue and will try to handle it themselves with little to no success and it eventually manifests anxiety, depression, and more into their adulthood.
In this episode, we attempt to break down personal bullying within our social environment and break down some of our past hurts. We share this as we, also provide resources to help others educate themselves on grabbing the help needed to get through this reality while possibly helping their loved ones as well.
We sincerely hope this episode helps and encourages us all to ask for help and seek therapy for past pains. Keep hanging with us - we got you, as Episode 16 continues to tackle courageous conversations. Thank you all and don’t forget to check us out wherever you get your podcast fix!
