Children shouldn’t fear their parents. It’s important to create healthy relationships with your children, seriously.

As parents, guardians, teachers, school administrators, and higher authorities, we have to tear down the wall of bullying. We have to hold the silent killer responsible for its actions. We are a powerful force and if we all can come together, we will put an end to the silent killer once and for all.

As parents, guardians and teachers who are being treated unfairly, we have to be productive, regardless of all the chaos.
