David is endorsed by Conn & Selmer as a national performer. He was a nominee for the 51st Grammy. He is a concert promoter in Nashville TN and is the producer and host of his individual podcast, "The Bully Resistant Show With David Wells." For the past 18 years, he has traveled across the United States as a full time Smooth Jazz musician and the last 7 of those 18 years, he has devoted his life in going into the public and private school system at every level in educating children on "bullying"and the repercussions that bullying has not only on the victim, but as well on the bully and the bystander / observer.
On today's program we discuss what bullying is, the different types of bullying, the short and long term effects of bullying on the victim, the bully, the observer and those that were bullied and now are the bully themselves.
