Bullies Are Awesome
Not!
If you stand by and watch bullying happen, you are just as bad as the bullies. Bullying can make someone feel powerless and when you don't speak up, you attribute to that powerless attitude when all it takes is one voice.
Scared that you could be next? Perhaps if YOU open your mouth to say something, you can help stop bullying.
Think that bullying only happens to children? Think again.
A popular reality show, Basketball Wives, during the fourth season showcased adult bully Tami Roman bullying another castmate by the name of Kesha Nichols by holding her purse hostage, making a grown woman cry to get it back.
Tami Roman was forced to take her Twitter down for a few days dealing with the backlash of thousands of viewers. While I don't agree with some of their tactics, I was glad to see so many people take a stand on adult bullying, unlike the rest of the cast that stood idly by.
It was truly traumatizing to me to watch Kesha get bullied by Tami Roman. What was even more disturbing was that Tami is a mother of young girls.
Adult bullying happens more often than you think. Especially in the workplace. Isolation, demeaning remarks, verbal abuse, repeated practical jokes, etc.
Bullying is not okay whether it's done in schoolyards or the conference room. Bullying can be deadly! Let's remember that, especially those of us with children.
