In addition, knowing what one's strengths and weaknesses are is a good way to build self esteem. As Dr. Beigel put it, "When you have good self esteem, someone can’t bully you." This is an excellent podcast for young adults who need practical strategies and ideas on how to prevent themselves from being bullied and so much more.
