Bullying leaves deep scars, both seen and unseen. It’s more than just hurtful words or actions — it can crush confidence, damage mental health, and even lead to long-term emotional trauma. Victims of bullying often feel isolated, anxious, or depressed, and these feelings can follow them into adulthood. But bullying doesn’t only harm the target; it also affects the community. It creates an environment of fear, mistrust, and division. In schools, bullying disrupts learning and lowers morale. In workplaces, it breaks teamwork and respect. We must remember: kindness costs nothing, but its impact is priceless. Every act of support, every time we stand up for someone, we chip away at the power of bullying. Together, we can create a culture where empathy and respect replace cruelty. Let’s choose to lift each other up, because everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and heard.
