Revolt Against Bullying
Bullying – One of the most sinister ills affecting our society is defined as the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others (Source: Wikipedia).
Bullying is so insidious because its tentacles are everywhere and can be of any form and in any environment. Whether it occurs at home, school or in the workplace, bullying has the same harmful effects such as loss of self esteem, shame and stress which can cause victims, of bullying, to take drastic measures in order to stop it.
Furthermore, there is evidence that those who are bullied by others risk become even bigger bullies themselves.
In fact bullying has gotten so bad, that there have been numerous campaigns to try and curb it in schools. Furthermore, many workplaces have taken steps to try to curb bullying in the workplaces due to the harmful impact it can have on the morale of the organization leading to high employee turnover and negatively affecting the organization’s bottom line.
With that said, we must all do our part to make sure Bullying has no place in our society and strive to protect those who are bullied themselves. As a company, Revolteur Clothing will continue doing its part to celebrate the uniqueness of others and also encourage others to embrace differences in themselves and others.
If every one of us can stand up for those who are being bullied and oppose the bullies, we send a message that such behavior will not be tolerated. We must never ignore bullying but always shine a light on it and call it out whenever it happens. After all, if we turn our eye to acts of bullying, we are condoning the behavior and are no better than the bully themselves.
