 What is the real cost of staying silent when bullying happens? In this episode of Fiercely Unfiltered, Kelly Renee gets real about how the world often lets bullies get away with it and what it takes to stop them. With a new school year starting, she puts you right in the shoes of kids walking into classrooms full of nerves, pressure, and for some, the fear of being picked on. Kelly doesn’t just throw around statistics. She shares her own story of being bullied as an adult and how staying quiet can leave a lasting mark. This episode isn’t about telling kids “don’t be a bully.” It’s about raising defenders, the kids and adults who refuse to watch cruelty go unchecked. Courage spreads fast. Kindness really does have power. And one person speaking up can completely change the outcome. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a real difference or how to help the next generation stand strong, this episode will give you the insight, the stories, and the push to finally break the silence. Let’s dive in! Key Takeaways Bullying isn’t just a childhood problem. It happens to adults too, and the damage runs deep. Silence from bystanders can empower bullies. Speaking up can stop the cycle. Parents and teachers must not only teach kids not to bully, but also to defend others. Small acts of kindness like checking in, listening, and validating can change someone’s life. True leadership means modeling the values you teach: courage, integrity, and compassion.
