Calling the attention of adults and young people through platform like this will help address this concern.”

This behavior is often hidden and subtle, and it affects significant number of people, particularly children. Bullying is a complex problem, hence, there is no quick solution. For us to prevent it, we have to understand the issues, factors, and context, some of these are unique to each individual. I am pleased to be adding my voice on this issue through this talk show.”

There are hidden and multiple issues that cause bullying, it can be social and family issues. Regardless, we need to talk about it more to come up prevention and intervention. It takes a collective effort from all segments of society, and that is why I am glad to join the other esteemed speakers so we can delve more on the issue.”
