The role self-esteem plays in bullying is a very important one. There is a bit of a split these days when it comes to how the bully is actually feeling. Is it low self-esteem. Is it high self-esteem. Is it really a sense of entitlement that the bully feels? So whether it's the target, the bully, and even the bystander; self-esteem is really the one through line throughout. For the target to endure any kind of bullying, it really affects their self-esteem in such a poor way. For the bully, as I said, finding a split in these studies where you have these gross sense of entitlement where they can feel like they can act in any way, shape, or form to another human being because there is no sense of humanity or integrity or empathy. If they have a low self-esteem, that obviously, begins in their home. We trace it back that way. For the bystander, it's really important for the bystander to have a healthy self-esteem, so that they can stand for the target. Once the target has other people on side, the bully has now power over any situation; so there is no bullying situation.
