Episode 6: Bullying Prevention Month: If They Hit You, Hit Them Back!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this powerful second episode for Bullying Prevention Month, we take a deep dive into one of the most controversial pieces of advice often passed down through generations: “If they hit you, hit them back.”
Is retaliation the only way to stand up for yourself—or are there better, more effective responses to bullying? We explore the roots of this mindset, its impact on young people, and what it really teaches about conflict, power, and self-worth.
This conversation challenges old narratives and opens up new ways to empower kids and caregivers while promoting safety, confidence, and empathy.
