BULLIES: People Who Pick Ugly Battles

Today's FOXOLOGY looks closely at the nature of bullying, it's causes and crimes and how to stop it. I will talk with author, speaker and former victim, Kate MacHugh about the perils and pain she faced as she lived with abuse from peers. Once believing that suicide was her only way of escape, she ultimately found her way out of her awful despair and took a big, bold stand for herself.

Kate is now fighting with new purpose and winning.  Her new book "Ugly: The Story of a Bullied Girl" is helping others to overcome the impact of bullying.
