Letter: Bullying happens to adults, too

Bullying and harassment are the same thing and it doesn’t just involve kids.

Many schools say no bullying will be tolerated, but then you go to work and guess what: Parents are doing it too! I was fired from my job because a parent played a sick “prank” on me.

Many times bullying can be stopped if people, who know what happened, come forth and tell the truth. Unfortunately, there are many times when the parent or adult gets away with the prank because they lie their way out of it.

Life is hard enough. The world needs honest people, not bullies.
