Frenemies
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about bullies? I’m guessing someone who has bad blood with others, who is distant from their targets, etc. But sometimes, our bullies are actually the people closest to us. It can be a friend, our parents, and our siblings; bullying can come from the most unexpected people.
It can be a pretty tricky situation to find yourself in, and it may even take the victim some time to realize they’re being bullied since it’s coming from a person they would never expect. Sadly, love is not enough to keep people from hurting us, and it’s important we learn how to recognize the signs we’re being bullied and stand up for ourselves.
