EXCLUSIVE: Symon Reflects on Being Bullied and Why She Came Out On Top

“From that dark point, I got so into one of my classes…”

Bullying is always hard no matter what. There are a lot of important things to remember when it comes to bullying.

So what can you do? It’s okay to be hurt and you have to acknowledge your feelings, but if you can find it in yourself, focus that energy onto something that will help you.
