How many of us firefighters have children who are battling with the issue of bullying in their young lives? We were not exposed to the impact of social media as it applies to bullying as our kids are. We all had those times people with small brains tried to intimidate us but it usually was one on one. Our kids are not so lucky and sometimes that pain leads to suicidal thoughts. Please see below if it can help.
