Season 2, Episode 2: Youth Month 2021: Shenick and Celest discuss the impact of bullying on young women and how to find a way forward

One of the serious issues facing young people today is bullying, a form of unprovoked aggression that can be directed at another individual or group of individuals with the intent to cause embarrassment or pain. It used to be that you could escape a school or work bully by simply moving locations at the end of the day, but bullying can also take place online, called cyberbullying, via an app or online platform like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or TikTok. So instead of being able to escape bullies, they ride in our pockets, come into our homes and follow us wherever we go on our phones or tablets. For many young people, it can seem as if there is no escape.
Today's podcast talks about bullying and its impact on young people. Join Tim as he chats with SU Staff members Celest and Shenick as they discuss the impact of bullying at a recent girls' camp and some ways they help these young women deal with this issue.

South African young people have been struggling with grief as they deal with the impact of COVID-19 on their friends and families. The trauma that many are experiencing is amplified in the pain and loss they feel as they deal with the death of loved ones or teachers or other adults within their circles of influence. The impact is significant and needs careful, holistic processing. Where is God in the midst of this pain?
Today's podcast looks at the issue of grief, but from a position of hope. Join Tim as he chats with SU Staff members Luyanda and Kyle as they discuss the things they are seeing in the lives of grieving young people in our local school communities and some tools they find useful as they minister.
