“Stop Bullying<br />

Because It’s Wrong”<br />

“Bullying started as far back as Jesus’ days.<br />

Look at the way he was put to death.<br />

Pilate picked the worst devastating way<br />

to kill Jesus; crucifixion. He was whipped,<br />

beaten, spit on, hair pulled from his beard<br />

from the very people he had chosen and<br />

elevated—his own race. One week they<br />

were praising him and the next week<br />

they crucified him,” shares author Lydia<br />

Greico in her recently published book<br />

Stop Bullying Because It’s Wrong.<br />

How far back can you find bullying in<br />

history? Who gets bullied and why? These<br />

are important questions that the author<br />

underlines and examines in her work.<br />

Initially written as a teaching tool, this<br />

small treasure bravely dives into the deeply<br />

rooted causes of bullying and why it’s still<br />

happening despite the combined efforts<br />

of local communities and authorities.<br />

Through her work, she aims to make<br />

people aware of how completely wrong<br />

it is and how devastating it would be to<br />

continue tolerating this behavior.<br />

“There is no end to bullying in this<br />

country. In this book, talk about all the<br />

reasons for bullying. I go into deep depth<br />

showing incidents of bullying. Why<br />

do humans keep trying to find a way<br />

to hurt one another? Isn’t one of God<br />

commandments to love your neighbor<br />

as yourself?” said Greico<br />
