FATHERHOOD VOICES

EP 63: School, Scars, and Standing Up: The Real Talk on Teenage Bullying

Edward Rodarte

Bullying doesn’t end in elementary school—it evolves. In this raw continuation of Episode 63, Edward and Alyssa take us deeper into the world of junior high and high school bullying: from silent suffering to navigating school politics, and why "just ignore it" doesn't cut it anymore.

They get brutally honest about social media, the failures of school systems, the trauma parents miss, and what they wish they’d done differently. With personal stories, heated moments, and a call for real-world tools (like their upcoming Bullying Response Checklist), this episode is equal parts heart, heat, and healing.
