What is bullying? Bullying is defined as superior strength or influence used to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants. But let’s go a little further.

Originally bullying was considered behavior used to get another person to do what the bully or bullies wanted them to do, however in today’s world it is often a form of targeted abuse through verbal and/or physical attacks, not necessarily intended to make the victim comply with their wishes, but to make the bully feel a sense of power and control.

Grieving children need healthy ways to respond to death. Grieving children should be treated openly and allowed to express themselves. It is when grieving children are prevented from allowing to mourn or express themselves that psychological maladies can develop that will affect them for the rest of their lives. #grievingchildren
