Forgive me if I feel like a post like yours is "too little too late." I was severely bullied for two years in middle school and very nearly killed myself because of it. It utterly destroyed my trust in others and led to severe depression, anxiety and isolation. Now I'm terrified of ever being bullied again.

Being bullied to the point of suicide when I was a teen broke me; I've never been the same. And I know it's the same for many others.

It's nice that there is more awareness and activism about bullying nowadays but I wonder if it's actually helping. The worst thing to do when it comes to bullying is to use half-measures. You either step in and save someone's life, or you let it go and become part of the problem.
