Subscribe to the podcast. Ashawnty Davis 10 years old and Rosalie Avila 13 years old are two of the most recent victims of bullying, both girls took their lives. Bullycide is a term being used to describe the severe trauma of bullying. Families left heartbroken and restless, the tragedy is so very real and overwhelming. According to psychological sources, bullying is a specific type of aggression in which (1) the behavior is intended to harm or disturb, (2) the behavior occurs repeatedly over time, and (3) there is an imbalance of power, with a more powerful person or group attacking a less powerful one. Bullyvention — Keaton part 1 In the case of Ashawnty Davis in Colorado, this young girl had the courage to confront her bully, when the fight was videotaped and someone uploaded it to the a social media application called Musical.ly app. She felt shame and devastated after seeing it and she was bullied even more after it was posted, it is when she decided to end her life. In the case of 13-year-old Rosalie Avila. Her bullies relentlessly called the California teen ‘ugly’ and made fun of her braces, said her father Freddie Avila. One bully posted a video on social media of Rosalie sitting by herself at school as she was taunted. Rosalie cut her wrists because of the bullying, and kept a list of people who bullied her in a diary. The numbers are staggering...70.6% of young people say they have seen bullying in their schools. 70.4% of school staff have seen bullying. 62% witnessed bullying two or more times in the last month and 41% witness bullying once a week or more.
