What really happens at home

Hi again everyone

Today I’m going to speak about something so common yet ignored in today’s society. Most kids grow up in a home where they have siblings who physically or emotionally bully them. If you have siblings, you know it is very common. It is seen as a norm and parents don’t pay attention to it because it happens so often. It is rather sad knowing that a place that’s supposed to be a safe haven is turned into a toxic environment of fear. Why is this a topic that society is not addressing? Statistics show that the highest rate of depression falls in teens, could this be a contributing factor? In high school is when most teens want to fit in with cliques and want to be accepted by society. What happens when that same society labels you as weak for telling people about this issue?...

The good news is that we form part of society. It’s time we are heard and seen. It’s time we address these issues being swept under the mat. How come we can stand up to bullying in schools but not in homes? Bullying is bullying no matter where it comes from. We should call a spade, a spade and stop sugar coating things.

If you are one of the people going through this, remember you are not alone. You are heard and I see your pain. Remember, all you need is inside you. Your joy, your peace and strength all comes from within. You must make a decision to want it.
