In this issue of Amplify, guest editor Belinda Lloyd talks about the psychological and physical scars that bullying leaves on children, and what we can do to help
This is the weekly Amplify newsletter, where you can be inspired and challenged by the voices, opinions and insights of women at The Globe and Mail.For many people, Thanksgiving Day earlier this week was an occasion to celebrate the blessings in our lives. For me, it was a day when mental health weighed heavily on my mind, and not just because the holiday fell on the same date as World Mental Health Day this year.
But, truthfully, hearing about this horrible event felt personal too, bringing back a flood of emotions in me. Three years ago, my son was bullied. On school grounds, the bully repeatedly kicked my son and broke his kneecap. He was too afraid to talk about it, and his school didn’t even inform me of what happened until I confronted the school principal.When my daughter was sharing the details, I noticed my boy was eerily quiet and visibly uncomfortable.
Let me tell you something: She is better than normal. And it breaks my heart in a way I never thought possible that, because of your cruelty, my exuberant daughter is trying to squash her personality to make you like her. I am the one who’s supposed to protect her from people like you, but I can’t because I’m not there.”
