Bullies are one of the leading causes of why children and young adults fear and lose interest in school, lose social skills, and develop low self-esteem. Additionally, it leads suicidal thoughts and potentially causes suffering from depression. Mya recognizes how the bully named Samuel is saying mean words to her. Mya doesn't like it.
