BULLYING

Being in a home with Domestic Violence can influence, perpetuate, and even shape behaviors between peers, students, and adults. 

Bullying in childhood can carry over into adulthood, increasing the risk of being abused or being an abusive partner. 

When parents engage in violence, children may assume violence is the right way to do things.
