The Cost of Cruelty – Part Two: The Bruising You Can’t See

The Cost of Cruelty – Part Two: The Bruising You Can’t See

In Part One: Bullying Behind the Mask, we explored the hidden insecurities and emotional pain that often drive bullying—how fear of being overlooked can lead some to cause harm just to feel seen.

Now, in Part Two: The Bruising You Can’t See, we shift our focus to those on the receiving end. The damage caused by bullying isn’t always visible, but the emotional aftermath can last for years. From anxiety and depression to withdrawal and shame, this episode dives into how bullying can shape mental health and self-worth long after the taunts and threats have stopped.

Stay tuned for Part Three: Wounded, Not Broken, where we explore what healing looks like—and what it takes to help young people find their way back to themselves.
