It
isn’t just the victim that is hurting:
I realized that bullying never has to do
with you. It's the bully who's insecure.
Shay Mitchell
Society,
in some ways, “supports” bullying, without even knowing it.
Most comedy is based on getting a laugh
at somebody else's expense. And I find that that's just a form of bullying in a
major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and
make people laugh without hurting somebody else's feelings.
Bullying
hurts everyone:
Bullying is killing our kids. Being
different is killing our kids and the kids who are bullying are dying inside.
We have to save our kids whether they are bullied or they are bullying. They
are all in pain.
Cyber
Bullying is real, and it really
hurts:
Unless and until our society recognizes
cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims
will continue.
Bullying
awareness is beginning to catch on:
I've been actually really very pleased
to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects
everyone. You know, you don't have to be the loser kid in high school to be
bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms.
Self-bullying:
People talk about bullying, but you can
be your own bully in some ways. You can be the person who is standing in the
way of your success, and that was the case for me.
The
big misunderstanding:
We focus so much on our differences, and
that is creating, I think, a lot of chaos and negativity and bullying in the
world. And I think if everybody focused on what we all have in common - which
is - we all want to be happy.
Bullying
Epidemic:
Bullying is a national
epidemic.
Celebrities are still bullied:
That is the biggest form of bullying
ever, the paparazzi. Printing lies, making accusations, it's just bullying.
