Bullying is more than just some child's play. So, Let's stop trying to recast it with softer language. Lets call it what it is. It's Lateral and Peer violence. It's physical, verbal, amd emotional assault. We need to be honest about it for two reasons. 1) School age violence and assaults ussually occur in tandem with sexual assault / violenece , domestic violence. 2) it has now been proven that consistent childhood adversity, specifically in relationship to violenece has lasting physiological consequences in the form of endocronological and neuro-psychological health. Let me lay down why that's important. Because it literally means that the consistent struggle against childhood violence impairs both endocrine, psychological, and neurologcical health. Quite literally impairing all healthy brain and body development. Think about that for a second. We may actually be witnessing one of the greatest health epidemics of our time and we're chalking it up to children will be children. We need to stop the pacifity and start protecting all children from violence. #YesAllChildren #AssaultIsAssault #EndAllViolence https://www.instagram.com/p/Bznwc6Mh6dD/?igshid=12lqhz78pm3ju
