Bullying as defined from *Oxford Languages and Google is to seek harm, intimidate, or coerce (someone perceived as vulnerable). American Psychological Association found on Google shares that
✔️Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and repeatedly cause another person injury or discomfort.
✔️Bullying can take the form of physical contact, words, or more subtle actions. This topic comes up very often after painful situations, events or tragic consequences of this behavior make the news.
✔️Too often it is hidden, unreported or unrecognized. Our guest has grown tremendously as a person and a woman in her quest to live a full life with no apologies for who she is and how she feels when she now speaks up for herself.

I personally feel that if for any reason a harmful form of leadership or communication or false friendship is made to feel the norm then those around who watch and say nothing then become part of the problem.
Recently in the news, we see back stories of the trauma of how flowing in an opportunity of a lifetime the Star has been accused of intense, demeaning, threatening intimidation labeled as helping the mentee shine and grow and become their best self.
