Let's Talk About Bullying

About this episode

Today’s episode is a D&M that cant be had enough. We discuss bullying and trolling from our own experiences but also from others. This conversation was driven by our beautiful KIC community, who shared with us their stories and questions they had on the subject. We hope that this conversation sparks a thought into everyone’s minds out there to think before they speak. There will be mention of suicide so if this is a sensitive topic for you please keep this in mind before pressing play. If you or anyone else you know needs help, call lifeline 13 11 14 or the kids helpline 1800 55 1800.

If you would like to see or hear more from us, you can find us on Instagram at @kic.app and @stephclairesmith and @laura.henshaw or check out kicapp.com/
