In recent years, the troubling trend of bullying has escalated to alarming levels. Once merely an unfortunate rite of passage for many children, bullying has evolved into a pervasive epidemic that extends far beyond schoolyard encounters. With the rise of social media and digital communication, issues of bullying have expanded, affecting youths in new and more insidious ways. Words, which hold the power to uplift, can also inflict deep wounds; the damage inflicted by bullying often lingers long after the tormentors have moved on. At the heart of the solution lies not just in institutional programs or policy changes, but in fostering a compassionate culture at home where diversity is celebrated, and kindness reigns supreme.
