The video Dolly’s parents want you to seeThe parents of an Australian teenager who took her own life after being relentlessly bullied are urging young people to think about the impact their words have on others. Unfortunately most bullies are too stupid to understand words hurt. Braking their jaw works way better as they can't talk for about 6 months and they will understand its not good to bully So glad to see something is being done, their was nothing when I was at school. It was a lonely tough time. Bullying effects the person for the rest of their lives. The video was out there & pulls the attention of bullying 😢hope it helps other young people.😊
