Lesson Overview

4.11 – When Friends Turn Into Bullies: Sometimes bullying comes from the people you least expect—your own friends. They might tease you cruelly, share secrets, or exclude you to gain power. When loyalty turns into manipulation, it’s okay to call it what it is. Feeling betrayed can cut deep, but recognizing toxic behavior early helps you heal faster. No one deserves mistreatment, no matter the history. Healthy friendships are based on respect, not control. Walking away is strength, not weakness. Finding new, kind-hearted peers takes courage but restores confidence. Let your boundaries remind others how you expect to be treated. You deserve friends who lift you, not ones who push you down.
