That bullying has absolutely no place in the world is something that we’re all taught – or at least, all should be taught – from the earliest of ages.
Making someone else’s life a misery, coercing or forcing them to do things against their will, harassing or intimidating or subjecting them to abuse are despicable practices. In an ideal world, bullying isn’t something anyone should be put through.
Sadly, we don’t live in an ideal world, and bullying remains rife in schools and work places, sometimes even at home. The best approach to tackling bullies differs depending on who you’re asking, but one mom from Texas went viral a few years ago after handling a particularly sensitive situation in a manner that drew praise and criticism in equal measure.
