Summer Farrelly - The Lasting Impact Of Bullying | EP24

'One of the worst things that happens to neurodivergent people is their ability to trust themselves and love themselves. Bullying can shape a person's identity and have a lasting impact'

In this episode, Jordan and Simon talk to Summer Farrelly, Animal Behaviourist and Autism Advocate on the topic of bullying. We share personal experiences of being bullied, including by teachers, and highlight the long-lasting impact it can have and have had on our lives. Summer emphasizes the need for teachers to be aware of their power and the effect their words and actions can have on students and the importance of creating a safe and inclusive environment in schools to prevent bullying. We touch on the issue of trolls and the lack of accountability on social media and the need for empathy, understanding, and self-reflection in online interactions.

Bullying can have a long-lasting impact on individuals, especially during their developmental stages.
Teachers should be aware of their power and the effect their words and actions can have on students.
Neurodivergent individuals often have common experiences of bullying and require greater understanding and support. Bullying can have long-lasting effects on self-esteem and body image.
Finding a supportive community and unmasking around like-minded individuals can help build trust and self-acceptance.
Online bullying is a prevalent issue, and many people lack accountability for their actions and words.
