We hear a lot about bullying in the news these days, both triumphs over it … and the tragedies that can result from it.
Over 3 million kids are victims of bullying each year.
What kind of puts into perspective how hard bullying can be to deal with … is the latest person making national news claiming to be a victim of it — a 6 foot 5 inch, 300+ pound professional football player.
