ABUSERS ARE BULLIES

• Bystanders who watch and record bulling are encouraging and empowering bullies continue to do it again, and again, and again.
• They count on no one being courageous to stop them.
• If no one intervenes, bullies are 60% more likely to perpetrate violence against intimate partners as adults.

Each successful bullying event reinforces their intense desire and need for control in the hopes no one will ever intervene.  So the cycle goes on and on and on. Bullies are not born.  They learn "how to" use their actions by watching successful abusers – adults and other children. The good news is that bullies can be salvaged from the schoolyards.
