I thought it was normal…

AUDIO RECORDING, PROFESSIONAL ACTOR

Bullying is aggressive behaviour that demeans, insults, harms, and/or degrades another human or nonhuman. Bullying denies dignity. I grew up in a place where bullying was so common I thought it was normal. I thought the pain I felt was normal and deserved. To this day, decades later, I still struggle with the belief that I deserve somehow to be mocked or beaten up.
