“Bullying Awareness”

In this impactful Wait A Gam Minute Podcast episode, Shereka shares the heartbreaking story of her daughter Morgan, who faced severe bullying three years ago. The bullying incident, which involved an older girl attacking Morgan at school during recess, was recorded and spread across social media, intensifying its impact. Shereka reflects on how, during that time, she was battling postpartum depression and struggled to support Morgan as she desperately tried to convey her feelings of being bullied, being called ugly, and being told she "stinks."

Despite the presence of three teachers who allegedly witnessed the incident, Morgan was left vulnerable and suffered deeply as a result. The bullying led to Morgan experiencing depression and suicidal thoughts, making her hesitant to leave home without supervision. However, the narrative takes a positive turn as Morgan, now a freshman in high school, shares her newfound confidence. She expresses her love for high school and emphasizes her commitment to standing up for herself.

Morgan encourages other young girls who may be facing similar challenges to speak up, urging them to tell a teacher or their parents and to persist until they are heard. This episode highlights the long-lasting effects of bullying and underscores the importance of support, resilience, and the power of speaking out.
