Nacho Mendoza and Venezuelan influencer CISCOH have broken the mold with their song “ESA CHAMITA,” which has captured the attention of thousands of fans on all digital platforms, not only for its infectious rhythm but also for its powerful message, which supports all those young people who feel excluded as a result of social pressure caused by stereotypes. THE SONG HAS BECOME THE OFFICIAL ANTHEM OF THE ORGANIZATION “STAND FOR THE SILENT,” A MOVEMENT COMMITTED TO RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF SCHOOL BULLYING AND ITS DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES.

Two champion mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters have both been impacted by bullying, including Irann Orozco and Trey Anderson. Orozco was traumatized by bullying starting at the age of 13, when she was sent to a military school. Like many who are victims of bullying, she became withdrawn and traumatized. She decided to join a mixed martial arts gym, which eventually led to her joining a professional boxing gym as the only female athlete.

Most people wouldn’t picture a national champion martial artist as a target for bullying. But Ronald “Trey” Anderson III, now an 18-year-old college freshman studying cybersecurity, proves that even the strongest among us can face cruel attacks—and rise above them. Trey began martial arts at just six years old and quickly found success. He’s now a 4-time youth national MMA champion and a 5-time ISKA karate world champion. But his accomplishments didn’t shield him from bullying—they may have even made him a bigger target.

Most of us would like to think that our elderly parents and grandparents are made of sterner stuff and that they’re immune to bullying or intimidation. However, bullying can occur at any age, and it’s important to recognize that just like our kids, our elderly loved ones can become victims of people who want to make them feel humiliated and powerless. According to data from AARP, about 10 to 20 percent of older adults are bullied, and more than 15 percent of adults who are 65 years and older experience physical or psychological abuse on a daily basis.

For Irann Orozco, fighting isn’t just a sport—it’s survival, healing, and growth. Today, Orozco is a rising star in amateur MMA and Pan Am Games champion and world bronze medalist representing the U.S. National MMA Team. But her journey to the podium began in pain. Her parents sent Irann to a military school as a 13-year-old, hoping the structure would help her stay on track. Instead, she found herself the target of relentless bullying…

Being chronically online has left many kids and teenagers vulnerable to doxing, which is a form of cyberbullying that involves posting or revealing a person’s private information online to incite further harassment. According to recent research, over one in 10 high school students have engaged in doxing. The study also shows that girls are more likely to engage in social doxing, while boys are more likely to conduct hostile doxing to humiliate or scare their victims.
