Bullying Can Happen At Any Age – By Wanda Williams

The naivety in me thought bullying was an ugly side of some children that only happened while attending school mean little children that took out their frustrations on other classmates, well  I was completely wrong…. What I have heard what I have seen through doing my healing work is that bullying can happen way past the days in the school playground, there is no age limit there is no gender there is no race nor creed it can happen to anyone any time of life.

I think what shocked me the most about bullying was the age & length of time some people have had to endure being treated like this, sadly by the time some of these troubled souls walk into my life they are so defeated they want to depart this earth plan & end it all by taking their own lives. Being bullied in the workplace is a very common occurrence being ganged up on like a pack of wolves hunting down their prey sickens me, slowly tormenting a work college till the point of breaking is a dangerous game to play to empower oneself by stealing another’s energy to ridicule torment another is a sign of weakness.

I suppose some people never truly grow up take responsibility for their actions choosing to be the big shot in a very small pool in life where they think they are justified to mock & bully another, I have heard stories of people choosing to get to the top of the career ladder by gathering others to slowly torment the person in charge till the point of them resigning as the weight of the bullying takes a toll on their health & well being, sad to think these people couldn’t propel themselves to greatness through hard work & not through pushing another off the edge.

I have also seen the damage done to those younger that are still at school dealing with the pressure of attending school feeling isolated left out of the crowd not feeling like they belong or fit in almost becoming invisible to those around them slowly shutting down on the inside not wanting to venture out into society, it is interesting how one can be in a crowd of people yet still feel very lonely & incomplete, labeled as odd different or weird, not knowing how or where to start making new friends incase they are rejected or made fun of.

So where do we come into the bigger picture of all of this? Do we ideally pretend not to notice these people being bullied or shunned by society? Do we  turn a blind eye not wanting to get involved in fear we may be labeled the same or bullied as well? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to stand up for someone being bullied to speak out in their defence to be honest & put things to right when we pay witness to what is happening it takes strength & courage to speak out in defence of another but if we all stand together be united not just close a blind eye I feel this world would be a much nicer place to live.

I wonder how it would read on a person’s eulogy: “The passing of this person is because they were bullied & tormented till the point they took their own life” & they named the persons responsible,  I could imagine that would be very shocking & hard to live with knowing you were the cause for someone to taking their own life, makes you stop & think doesn’t it.
