Once you learn all about these real-life experiences, you will know that you are not alone if you endure the same thing now. Moreover, you will understand that you, too, can overcome and look forward to a rewarding life with friends who truly care for you.

This post shares a bullying story filled with true-life experiences to offer you hope and encouragement.

Bullying Story

I didn’t experience bullying, nothing beyond usual teasing, until I moved to a small Tennessee town after having been an Army Brat and lived in several different areas. Until then, bullying had always been something that happened to kids in the movies.

When I became a target of severe and chronic bullying as a sixth-grader at the age of twelve, I began a long lesson in the human predator/prey dynamic and a battle for my dignity, safety, and my very soul.

During the sixth grade, I never fought back. My family had taught me that decent young ladies didn’t fight. So, I took the physical beatings, name-calling, and abuse. However, what I didn’t realize was that my classmates were growing accustomed to bullying me.

When the Bullying Escalates

When I entered seventh grade at the age of thirteen, the harassment by my classmates reached a fever pitch. The abuse my classmates subjected me to is called “poly-victimization.” They called me names and slandered me. Moreover, they would humiliate me with pranks. When the bullying grew out of control, they began threatening me and physically attacking me.

And after enough of it, I learned the hard way that I had two choices: either take a stand and fight back or get eaten alive. However, it seemed that the more I tried to set boundaries, the worse the bullying became.

The physical bullying was brutal. I suffered horrible beatings, and it escalated to the point of having a box cutter pulled on me and my life threatened.

Every morning before going to school, I would feel a huge lump in my throat and swallow hard. It took everything I had in me to step onto that school bus. Why? Because I knew what would be waiting for me as soon as I walked through the school entrance.

Bullying Story:

Enduring Daily Abuse

During P.E., I excelled at some sports but struggled with others. I loved volleyball and kickball, but basketball and baseball weren’t my strong suits. Music and writing stories were my gifts, not sports.

However, students and a few teachers judged me because I wasn’t an athlete or a member of a sorority. I was musically talented and creative. So, what they were doing was akin to judging a fish on its ability to fly.

In just two short years, I went from being a confident and outgoing kid to one who was sad and withdrawn.  Additionally, I transitioned from a student who consistently made the honor roll to one who earned C’s and D’s.

Schoolwork had always been so easy for me. I had been one of those lucky kids who didn’t have to pick up a book.

All I had to do was listen in class and complete my homework (which I could do in minutes). And I would ace every test. But in a matter of two years, the schoolwork went from being a piece of cake to being complicated and overwhelming.

Who can concentrate on schoolwork when they’re busy looking over their shoulder and dodging bullies? Who can learn effectively when they’re constantly in survival mode?

The Bullying Becomes Unbearable

The torment became next to unbearable. So much so that I attempted suicide at the age of fourteen. As a result, I spent a week in the ICU and almost didn’t make it.

It was a hell I would never wish on anyone, not even my worst enemy. My classmates had stripped me of every ounce of power I had.

Trying to keep a calm demeanor amid so much toxicity and desperately hanging onto my dignity with everything I had was exhausting! It felt as if they were holding me hostage. At times, teachers and a few school staff members would also join in the bullying.

Bullying Story:

When the victim Becomes a Bully

Because I felt powerless, I began to bully those who were even weaker than I was. The reason I did this was to reclaim some of the power bullies had taken from me. This is not something I’m proud of.

There was no one I could turn to. Back then, people considered bullying to be a normal rite of passage. Therefore, I had to deal with it on my own.

Anytime I spoke out about or reported the mistreatment, they shouted me down. The other classmates would tell me to “keep my mouth shut.”

Teachers and school staff blamed me for my own suffering. Other adults labelled me a whiner and ridiculed me because they saw speaking out as a sign of weakness. I received no help or relief.

The Stripping Away of Personhood

They never allowed me to be a human being. Moreover, they gave no margin for error. Instead, they would minimize or ignore any good deeds, accomplishments, and successes. And they would maximize any mistakes.

If I wore a dress and went to class all dolled up, I was trying to either impress people, get a date, or get laid. And if I wore my jeans the slightest bit tight, I looked like a whore.

If I cried, they would accuse me of being too sensitive. But if I laughed, they accused me of trying to get attention. If I became angry, they labelled me mentally unstable. But if I was friendly, I was either flirting or trying to kiss up. If I smiled, I was secretly plotting something devious.

They never allowed me to be myself, and it was exhausting. It felt as if I were suffering a slow and agonizing social murder.

Bullying Story:

The Transfer

The day came when two classmates attacked me from behind when I was four months pregnant with my first child. They threw me over a teacher’s desk, then kicked me as I lay curled in a fetal position on the floor.

All I could do was try to protect my unborn baby by shielding my growing belly with both arms. Luckily, my unborn child survived and came into the world healthy later that year.

After the last attack, I was done with Oakley High. I changed schools, and the bullying stopped. Words cannot tell you the relief I felt when I transferred to a new school! I could finally learn in a safer and less stressful environment!

A Safer Learning Environment.

I loved my new school. And I felt like a bird out of a cage! The feeling was of being released from a nearly six-year-long prison sentence. I had done my time in hell, and now I could put it all behind me. It was then that I began the process of rebuilding my life.

While riding in the car, on the way to my new school, I sat in the passenger seat, next to my then-husband. As he drove, I cried tears of joy.

It was hard to believe that I had finally escaped the persecution! The pain had grown so great I couldn’t even cry! It was all finally over, and I could start a new and better chapter in my life.

Sure enough, I went on to make friends with my new classmates, but more importantly, my grades skyrocketed! The transformation of my grades seemed to happen suddenly and like magic!

After five years, I made the honor roll again and then finally graduated.

I now lead a successful life and use what I went through to help bullied kids today. Anytime I hear of an innocent child bullied into suicide, it truly breaks my heart.

When People Judge Bullying victims who have given up, it makes me cringe.

What’s even more heartbreaking is the attitudes and remarks I hear from others around me when a tragedy like this happens! I often hear statements such as:

  • “But that boy was so quiet!”
  • “Really??? Still waters run deep!”
  • “But that girl always kept to herself!”
  • “No joke! Just as an AIDS patient keeps his diagnosis to himself!”
  • “Shame on him! He was such a coward!”
  • “Right! Anyone running through the woods from a wild boar would look like a coward to someone sitting safely in a tree! You spend a few years being bullied by everyone you know and see how mighty and brave you are! You’ll find out how quickly your life can go to crap!”

If you haven’t experienced it, you’ll never know what it is to be a target of bullying. I was fortunate enough to survive and move on to happiness and success. But many victims don’t, which is why writing about bullying and advocating for victims is my passion.

Bullying Story:

Although being bullied is never a good thing, I did get a few positive takeaways:

  • Having been bullied has made me appreciate the great friends I have today. It also gave me empathy and compassion for others and a desire to help those who endure the same!
  • Having been bullied made a strong woman out of me. It made me more determined never to quit until I reach a goal! Knowing that bullies often bully out of jealousy and fear is the motivation for me.’
  • Being bullied gave me the determination to love myself, put myself first, and the willingness to say “no” anytime I am asked or told to do something that does not feel right!
  • Having been bullied gave me the determination to follow my dreams, to do things I enjoy most, and to achieve success.
  • Having been bullied has given me hope. Because I know that if I can go through bullying and survive, then I can rise above anything!
  • It gave me a soft spot and a great willingness to fight for the underdog.
  • And lastly, it sharpened my BS detector, giving me the ability to read people, spot a bully instantly, and avoid being targeted!

Being a target of bullying almost broke me, yes! But in the end, it made me! Keeping a bullying journal is what saved me. So, I advise you to keep one. Bullying won’t last forever. If you’re a target of bullying and you don’t give up, you too can survive and emerge a winner!

This post was a bullying story to encourage you to keep going when things seem hopeless.

Mobbing in Schools: 9 Warning Signs Bullying is Out of Control

The subject of workplace mobbing is common but we barely hear or read about mobbing in schools. Sadly, it happens a lot more than we know. If you want to know the warning signs that bullying at school has progressed to mobbing, read further.

mobbing in schools

Bullying can become chronic when the bullying has gone on over time.  Also, it tends to escalate until it reaches to dangerous levels and epic proportions.

In this post, you will learn about mobbing in schools and all the warning signs that the bullying you suffer at school has gotten out of control.

Once you learn about all these symptoms, you will know that you’re, in fact, being mobbed. Also, you will better be able to make the right decisions and take the right steps to ensure your safety.

This post is all about mobbing in schools so that you can understand what’s happening to you and take the appropriate measures to protect yourself from further harm.

mobbing in schools

Before we get into the warning signs, let’s further explain this type of bullying so that you can get a better understanding of what you or someone you know is dealing with.

Chronic Bullying (bullying that has lasted for over a year) has a strong chance of progressing to mobbing. Several people have described mobbing as bullying on steroids.

Bullying becomes mobbing once bullies have skyrocketed the torment and begun pursuing their targets obsessively and non-stop. Moreover, you bullies’ behavior has gone ignored and unaddressed by authority.

As a result, your bullies have now become so brazen that their actions have grown in strength, frequency, and cruelty over several years.

Now, it seems that everyone is bullying you for everything. Furthermore, the apathy they hold has grown such that the only feelings they have for you are fury and blind hatred.

In other words, the entire student body, even several teachers lose all humanity toward you.

The prevailing attitude is that anything they do to you, no matter how cruel or how dangerous is a good thing. Why? Because, in their minds, you have no value as a human being, and you life is worth nothing.

mobbing in schools: the entire student body, even several teachers lose all humanity toward you.

People who bully to these extremes usually have tons of followers and minions backing them. And they enlist members of their following to do their dirty work. It is when the bullying becomes so significant, so ingrained, and so severe that it seemingly takes on a life of its own.

The bullies and the vast majority of the school are seemingly drunk on hate. Moreover, the bullying and torment of you seem to be all they can focus on.

Instead of the bullies (and virtually everyone else) controlling their evil emotions and actions, their feelings and actions begin to control them. The alumni are seemingly enslaved by hatred and blinded by senseless rage.

They have become so addicted to power and control that the torture they inflict is constant. Put another way, they can’t get enough of the high this power gives them.

Therefore, realize that, in a case of school mobbing, the bullying has progressed beyond disrespect and ridicule. Moreover, your classmates don’t see you as an equal nor do they see you as a little bit different.

They see you as so worthless that you don’t deserve to breathe the same air as them. In fact, many of them may feel you don’t even deserve to breathe at all!

This is why school mobbing is so dangerous because you run the chance of either breaking and dying by suicide or being murdered by someone at school.

In short, the intense hatred and blind rage of your school mates and a few staff reach levels of derangement!

It seems that everyone at school has become deranged.

Derangement happens when the hatred and outrage toward you reaches a fever pitch. Also, for everyone else, the unwritten rule becomes to believe the lies about you or to act like it. Why? Because their safety depends on it!

To keep from becoming targets themselves, everyone outside the bully/victim relationship must believe the lies without question or without even blinking!

Moreover, they must believe it as long as it’s negative. And the more negative and condemning the rumors, the better and more suiting and convenient.

People will also believe the lies, no matter how ridiculous they may sound. Therefore, anytime you hear lies that sound absolutely and utterly absurd to any rational and sane person, that’s when you know that derangement has taken hold!

In short, if you’re a target of other peoples derangement, you are, in a sense, burned in effigy!

9 Warning signs of mobbing in schools

1. Others seem to jump at the chance to diminish anything positive about you.

If  you do a good deed that is either visible or gets positive recognition, others in the school will only disregard it and make statements such as:

  • “She’s only trying to score brownie points, kiss ass, (etc.).”
  • “Haha! He’s just doing that because he thinks it’s going to get him on everyone’s good side!”

When the target reaches a success, others will only rain on it, saying things like:

  • “Oh, God! Anyone could’ve accomplished that!”
  • “He’s trying to show out! He thinks he’s so special!”
  • “She only did that to make herself look good.”

2. People in the school are open with their brutality against the target.

Bullies, their followers, and any other bystander who wants to join in the mistreatment won’t even try to hide it anymore. Why?

Because they know that those in authority won’t do anything about it. Therefore, staff have insulated them from any accountability.

Any abuse toward you is widely accepted, encouraged, and even celebrated!

Moreover, they know that if anyone even dares to speak out for you or help you, that person will suffer mobbing right along with you.

Therefore, know that when others openly abuse you, it’s gotten to a very dangerous level! You might even wonder what they’re likely to do to you next if they can brutalize you so openly.

3. Warning signs of mobbing in schools. People in the toxic environment are blinded by their own hatred of you.

In other words, schoolmates don’t know why they hate you so intensely. They just do.

If anyone on the outside were to ask them what you did or said to them to make them hate you so much, they either wouldn’t be able to answer them at all. Also, they would throw just any ridiculous answer out there, without having the goods to back it up.

Moreover, they’ll hope to the heavens that the person asking is lazy and won’t press the issue further, or worse- (gasp!) challenge them to provide evidence that you’re such a despicable and deplorable person.

They’ll use ad hominem responses such as:

  • “Because she’s just a bitch and I hate her”
  • “Because I just hate the bitch!”
  • “Because he just rubs me the wrong way!”
  • “Because he’s a jerk and a know-it-all!”

And be prepared for your haters to viciously attack the person asking the questions. Why? Because the person asking the questions poses the threat of making them look like the demonic monsters they are!

4. These people will be intensely angry each time anything positive comes your way.

For example, if you win an award, they may not say it to you, but you’ll see it in their faces and body language. They also may talk through their teeth to one another as their eyes blaze at you.

5. They’ll try to destroy your good mood because they’ll hate the possibility that you might be happy and feel good.

If they see you so much as laugh or crack a smile, here are a few responses you’re likely to hear from them:

  • “What the hell are you laughing about!”
  • “What the @&%# are you smiling about!”
  • “What have you got to be so happy about, bitch!”
  • “Shut up, asshole! You laugh like a hyena!”
  • “I don’t see anything funny!”
  • “I wish she’d wipe that goofy smile off her face!”

6. warning signs of mobbing in schools: Your classmates will shout you down and tell you to shut up, every time you even look like you’re about to open your mouth.

Understand that, in their minds, you don’t deserve to be heard, nor have the right to speak.

7. They’ll all rise against you when you defend yourself.

When you have “the audacity” to stand up to them, they’ll punish you for it.  In other words, once you assert your right not to be abused, they will all gang up on you.

They’ll try to gaslight you into believing you asked for the abuse. Moreover, your schoolmates will smear you to others.

If that doesn’t silence you, the next step is a brutal physical attack. Always! If they can’t bring you down emotionally, they will do it physically and no one will jump in to help you. I’ve seen this happen and have had it happen to me.

8. They will watch you like a hawk.

Understand that they and everyone else in the bullying environment will be watching you very closely- looking for a reason to attack you. In other words, they’ll wait for you to screw up even the tiniest bit!

They will then beat you down with your mistake and never let you hear the end of it.

Realize that these people are only looking for the slightest infraction to maximize and use against you. They will twist, spin, or add to the most trivial thing you do that’s not quite right to make it bigger and more severe.

For example, if you do something as minuscule as knocking over a glass of milk, others will make it into a Federal case and they’ll swear you did it deliberately.

9. warning signs of mobbing in schools: You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

In other words, if they see you talking to a potential date, they’ll swear up and down you’re trying to get laid. But if you happen to be saving yourself for your wedding night, they’ll only call you a prude.

If you take one sip of wine, they’ll call you a sloppy, fall-down drunk. But if you don’t drink, they’ll call you a party-pooper or a stick in the mud. They’ll make statements like, “Well, he just doesn’t know how to have a good time!”

In conclusion

You must realize that when it gets this bad and seems to permeate the whole of the environment, the hatred and contempt for you reaches such a crescendo that it’s has turned into mass mental illness in those around you.

Therefore, at this point, it more than likely won’t get better. It will only get worse until either one of them murders you or forces you to do it yourself.

At this juncture, the best thing you can do for yourself is to run! These people are dangerous and you must get as far away from them and stay away! Keep these schoolmates out of your life because these are people you’ll never be safe around!

 It may or may not be feasible. But find a way to transfer to another school or convince your parents to move to another area. Maybe ask them to allow you to go live with an aunt or uncle in another school district.

The only way you’ll ever find peace is to leave without telling anyone. Only then will you be safe and have peace of mind. Moreover, you will get to start fresh in a new place, where you can finally relax and be yourself.

This post was all about mobbing in schools and signs of it so that you will finally know what to do if you even face that situation.

Bullying by Teachers in School: 7 Steps to Protect Yourself

Have you ever suffered bullying by teachers in school? ‘Want to know the statistics of students who are targeted by school staff and what you can do if you fall into this category?

bullying by teachers in school

It’s bad enough when your fellow students target you. However, when school staff, who are supposed to be adults, target one of their minor students, it’s much worse.

In this post, you will learn the surprising statistics of young students who endure bullying by teachers in school. Also, you will learn what you can do if it happens to you.

Once you learn these stats, you will be surprised to realize that this issue is more common than you know. Moreover, it will prompt you and your parents or grandparents to take the appropriate steps to gather evidence and conduct your own investigation.

This post is all about the number of kids who suffer bullying by teachers in school every year and what they or their families can do for protection.

Bullying by Teachers in School

According to the Better Help website, “In one survey, 45% of teachers admitted to bullying their students.” This is alarming!

Here is something you or your family can do to combat this insidious type of bullying.

1. Document everything in Detail.

If you’re one of the unfortunate 45 percent, you must document everything. And when you write everything down. Remember to use the 5W Rule.

This is especially important when you have a teacher who is bullying you. Why? Because the teacher is the person in authority. Therefore, any reports that they’re bullying will likely go ignored.

Realize that people will take the word of an authority member over yours.

Therefore, you absolutely must document the bullying in great detail. This means using the 5 W’s.

When you use the 5W Rule, you write down What happened, Where it happened, When it happened (the exact date and time of incident), Who was involved and the names of any bystanders, and, if possible, Why it happened.

Therefore, the trick here is to document in the tiniest details possible. Why? Because not only does it help you to keep your story straight, but it’s also admissible in court and in tribunals.

2. Bullying by Teachers in School:

Stay in communication with the school or other entity and save all email exchanges.

You must save all emails you send to the entity and those they send you. Always keep records of these things because it will show you whether they do anything about it.

Moreover, if they send you any bullying or abusive emails, you will have more evidence of their bias against you to present in court.

3. If you live in a one-party consent state, secretly record bullying incidences.

If a teacher is bullying you, I can’t stress the importance of getting it on recording. Now, this is assuming you live in a one-party consent state. This means that you need permission of only one of the parties being recorded. That’s you, of course.

Therefore, you can record the bullying without the possibility of legal consequences.

You can either use a digital audio recorder or a hidden body camera. Personally, I prefer the hidden body camera. However, if you can’t get access to one, a digital audio recorder will do and you can find them at your local Walmart or on Amazon.

Body cams, on the other hand, are only available online. Amazon sells many of them you can choose from.

4. Bullying by Teachers in School:

Take pictures of any bruises, cuts, or scrapes left on the body by school bullies.

Most teachers are too smart to physically bully you. Although they may want to and wish they could, most of them won’t for fear of legal repercussions.

Although a small percentage do use physical violence against students, the teacher is likely to let your bullying classmates do that for them. Therefore, you must take photos of any visible bodily injuries if you’re physically attacked in the bullying teacher’s classroom.

Why? Because the teacher can be charged with neglect or dereliction of duty if they allow another student to harm you. Moreover, you also have cause to sue the school if the injuries are severe enough.

5. Keep records of any medical treatment resulting from bullying at school.

In other words, if a bully in the teachers’ classroom hurts you badly enough to send you to the hospital, make copies of the records and keep them in a safe place.

Having these materials will make your case more solid and you can press not only criminal charges against the bullies’ but also file a civil suit for damages.

6. Bullying by Teachers in School:

Take pictures of any harsh remarks by the bullying teacher on your report card or assignment papers.

This is also important! If the remarks are too harsh, it will indicate abuse and possible prejudicial treatment.

Moreover, if you make good grades in other classes but seem to fail in the bully teacher’s class, take pictures of the grades on your report card. This will prove the teacher’s bias against you.

7. Get another teacher that you trust to go over any graded papers just in case the bully teacher gives you an unfair grade.

VERY important! If you know for a fact that you did well on a test in this teacher’s class and still get a bad grade, the bullying teacher might have marked a few right answers wrong.

Therefore, get another teacher you trust to go over your paper with you. Because, if a teacher highly dislikes you, they might try to give you a lower grade than you deserve to mess up your future.

Then take a picture of the test paper, circling the right answers that the teacher marked wrong. This will strengthen your case and exonerate you, therefore, securing your future prospects and life-chances.

Bullying By Teachers in School

I can’t stress this enough! You must gather your own evidence in cases like these. I won’t lie to you. Doing this will be tedious. In fact, you’ll need to put in a lot of hard work.

However, when you’re being bullied by any authority member, it’s not the time to be lazy. Remember that you are the only one who can stand up to this type of abuse and you have a responsibility to do so.

Not only to yourself, but to any future students this teacher may bully later.

In other words, you should never sit back and wait for the school to protect you. Because they won’t. Schools have their own self-interests in mind and they will only hide any bullying that happens in their educational institutions.

Again, protecting yourself and standing up to any bullying you suffer is your responsibility! No one else’s!

But Why Do Schools Ignore Bullying?

Again, they do it to save their own reputations. Moreover, most bullies are high academic achievers, athletes, or members of the cheer squad.

All this makes the school look good. Therefore, your school will more than likely only protect these students and find ways to lay the blame on you.

Sadly, in most cases of bullying, it’s not about right and wrong, it’s about who’s doing it and the amount of power they have. Therefore, again, it’s your responsibility to do your own investigations and stand up for yourself. You must be your own voice!

Bullying by Teachers:

Here’s some food for thought.

We know that bullying often goes unpunished and it’s the victims who people scrutinize and punish while the bullies go Scot free.  Moreover, schools and companies sweep incidences of bullying under the rug to save their own reputations. That much, we also know.

Also, governments, local, state, and federal, refuse to pass more robust laws against bullying and mobbing. Why? Because there’s no way you can legislate human nature, even the dark side of it.

More importantly, bullies are experts at making the poor victims look like the instigators. Therefore, I’m not sure if we even should pass laws against bullying. And these are things I advocated for it at first.

However, the more I thought about it, the more I shied away from any laws. Again, bullies are good at reversing the roles and making their victims look like the provocateurs.

Therefore, it is because people blame victims and either let bullies off the hook or give them a slap on the wrist that I’ve stopped agreeing that criminal laws against bullying should be passed.

Think about it. If we criminalized bullying, a lot of innocent victims would end up going to jail or paying fines because the real bullies would find ways to manipulate their way out of it and place blame on their victims.

Again, there’s no way to legislate human nature. It’s impossible. Therefore, victims must be allowed to stand up for themselves and take responsibility for their own well-being.

I believe it’s the only way victims can successfully fight bullying and take back their personal power.

However, this only addresses part of the problem.

Bullying by Teachers in SChool:

Let’s Think outside the box for a moment. ask yourself these questions.

Why do schools ignore bullying and place blame on targets? What other reasons could there be besides to protect their reputations and their star students?

Wait for it!

Could it be to maybe benefit the mental health industry? It may or it may not. However, it’s certainly something to think about.

Due to the mental health crisis in this country, school districts and the mental health industry work very closely together. And why not? We do seem to have an epidemic of depressed and mentally ill youth.

Therefore, understand that mental health is BIG business and, like any other big business, such as big tech, or big pharma, it’s a money machine. A cash cow!

In fact, it’s only a branch of the healthcare industry and big pharma. Remember that public schools are government schools and school officials are elected officials. In other words, they’re politicians.

Are you beginning to see how all this ties together?

Bullying Continues to supply the mental health industry with fresh, new patients every year.

In other words, millions of new patients are made because of bullying. These are people who, otherwise, wouldn’t need psychological help.

As we know, the majority of mental illness, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders are caused by some form of abuse. And bullying is abuse. In fact, peer abuse is just another term for bullying.

Moreover, people who are bullied have a much higher risk of developing a mental illness and going in for psychological and psychiatric treatment.

Even worse, many end up requiring medication to regain stability.

So, should it be any wonder that corporations, schools and many other public entities refuse to properly address bullying and hold bullies accountable? Should it surprise you that they’re so quick to blame innocent victims?

Are you beginning to see the bigger picture here?

This is just a thought that I wanted to throw out there. And this should also give you something to ponder as well.

The 45% of people who are bullied by teachers probably don’t know to do their own investigations and likely haven’t been told how. This is a sad thing because, without proper guidance, they’ll only continue to be victimized.

It’s also important to note that teachers who bully you will likely bully other teachers as well. Therefore, try to find out who the victim teachers are so that you can align with them.

In this, you’ll raise your chances of getting the support you need.

this post was all about the percentage of people who are bullied by teachers in school and what they can do to not only protect themselves, but stand against this type of abuse.
