Have you ever thought about a time that you had to look back on a difficult situation such as bullying? I do at least once a day. It’s something no one would want to experience in their lifetime. Bullying is something that 28% of students and children between the ages of 12-18 go through at least once a week. 120,000 kids do not attend school because of bullying, and I was one of those at a point in my life.
