Four years ago, Austin Osner was depressed and anxious about interacting with people because of the constant bullying he faced in school.
After realizing the impact bullying had on Osner's mental health and grades, McGinn pulled him out of the Fairfield City School District and enrolled him in an online school during the middle of the academic year. In 2015, he started taking taekwondo lessons and noticed how much he enjoyed it. After a year, he started competing nationally and credits the sport for helping him get into a better state of mind.
"He started off kind of shy and timid and unsure of himself," McGinn said."In the last three years, he has become way more confident and way more self-assured." With October being National Bullying Prevention Month, Osner's message for others experiencing bullying is to focus on those who bring positivity to their lives and the activities they love, in order to limit the impact of the negative comments.
