“That’s bullying. That’s verbal, emotional bullying. What happens to her is a familiar banter of bullying because it comes from her family. When it is done recurrently at home, that’s bullying, whether it is a joke or not. Nobody deserves to be bullied. There should be respect at home—regardless of who your presidential bet is,” began Collado, a guidance counselor for 27 years who shifted to family counseling for five years now.

She is in a most precarious situation because she’s alone defending her stand, and the situation is already causing her mental stress.”
Stressed Voter, get an ally. Someone neutral. Someone your family respects. Again, the word “respect” crops up. Maybe this time, we hope and pray, it will not be a lonely, futile word.
