| 0:00.0 | Most of the studies out there show that the difference between a kid who spirals |
| 0:04.6 | out of control and that bullying just pushes them over that tipping point, and the |
| 0:09.4 | kid who actually survives it is just one friend. |
| 0:23.7 | Welcome to Family Life Today, where we want to help you pursue the relationships |
