“I was bullied by a parent and a sibling so I know what it does to a person. I know what it’s like to not want to wake up the next day and you are just so miserable and you’ve been so humiliated, so torn up, you think you are worthless,” said Coughlin, founder of The Protectors, an organization aimed at equipping children, parents, and school officials against the rising trend of bullying.
Founded in 2005, Protectors was born out of Coughlin’s own experience and understanding of just how damaging bullying can be to a person’s emotional and psychological wellbeing – damage that can negatively affect a person sometimes for the rest of their lives.
