Bullying isn't just kids being kids—it's a complex cycle of hurt that shapes generations, and nobody's talking about it honestly. DJ ESG rips away the sanitized, sock-puppet approach to bullying prevention and gets brutally real about what's happening in schools, homes, and digital spaces.
Growing up in Philadelphia row homes, ESG experienced firsthand how playground games quickly devolved into psychological warfare. Today's landscape is even more treacherous—where bullying doesn't end at the school bell but continues 24/7 through smartphones and social media. A child can be destroyed before second period through a group chat, with 47 likes validating their humiliation.
The uncomfortable truth? Most bullies aren't just "bad kids"—they're walking trauma responses. They're children with absent parents, chaotic homes, and no emotional vocabulary beyond aggression. Schools hide behind zero-tolerance policies while prioritizing standardized tests and avoiding lawsuits over actually protecting students. Parents vacillate between treating bullying as a rite of passage and becoming helicopter parents who never allow their children to develop resilience.
What's the solution? Adults need to start actually being adults. Parents must parent, not befriend. Schools must prioritize students over administrative convenience. And for the kids being bullied? Know that you're targeted because you have something your bully lacks—whether that's kindness, confidence, or a functioning family. Don't surrender your power.
Ready to break the cycle? Whether you're a parent, educator, bully, or being bullied—the time for action is now. Reach out. The future of our children's mental health depends on it.
