Bullying is not limited to grade school playgrounds or high school locker rooms. Apparently, bullies appear in all strata of life – even the NFL. (Seahawks? not tolerated)
When will torturing and teasing and intimidation be seen for what those behaviors may really be? Bullying.
No matter the $$$ in one’s wallet or age or social status; to oppress, hound, mistreat or harass another person is to bully that person. It is what it is, no matter how you dress it up – even if you wear an NFL jersey.
Writer Catherine Johnston of Olympia, Wash., addresses issues facing aging baby boomers and seniors as well as issues of serious illness, death and dying, grief and loss.
