Rites of Passage or Bullying: Understanding the Fine Line

Explore the distinction between traditional rites of passage and bullying, using insights from a case study in Sayreville, NJ, to highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing power imbalances in youth activities.
What can we do about bullying as parents and elders in our communities and homes? Pay attention, ask questions, and go deeper. You are your child's first life of defense in keeping things balanced in our world. As parents, we need to pay attention to our children's body language and behavior. Are they sleeping more or less? Are they excited to go to practice and school? Do your children isolate? Are there new people in their lives? Do you know who their friends are and what they do today? Are you at practice and games to see what is going on and who they are associated with? Do you know trauma when you see it?

Emotional Challenges? Discover the Solution

Emotional challenges strengthen us
Challenges often go ignored and unresolved for many people until our subconscious and private selves' rebel. We may act out in ways that cause harm to ourselves and others. This self-harm can be as subtle as consistently settling for less than what you are worth. Self-harm can also be as dramatic as addiction and suicide. At the root of all self-harm and self-sabotage is your vision of YOU and the YOU that YOU are committed to being.
