Do you have experience with bullying?

Often when we discuss bullying, we hear from parents, school administrators, or students who have been bullied. But we don't often hear from the bullies directly.

Were you once a bully in school? Are you the parent of a child who has been accused of bullying? Why do bullies act out toward other children?

Our daily radio show Think Out Loud wants to hear from people who have been accused of bullying, parents who have children who may be bullies, or adults who recognize that they may have once been a bully while growing up.
