In this episode of Delusional Optimism, Dr. B and co-host Seth Creekmore talk about bullying. Bullying is the second-leading cause of death between the ages 10 to 34 in the US and one in five students report bullying. Dr. B and Seth talk about how bullying integrates to our understanding of ACEs and what parents can do to help curtail this imbalance of power.

“When children are bullied or even adults are bullied, it leads to anxiety, depression, sleep problems, lower achievement in school and even a dropout rate that’s been reported by the CDC in 2018.” - Dr. B [05:15]
