For over two decades, I've been intensively helping victims of bullying, initially children and after a few years, adults as well, for I realized that the same principles apply to interpersonal problems throughout the lifetime.

WHAT IS THE BULLIES TO BUDDIES PHILOSOPHY?

The only place where everyone is always nice to each other is Heaven. As long as we are alive, we are going to encounter people who are mean to us and we need to learn to deal with them.
