THE SUBTLETY OF BULLYING

The concept of bullying, intimidation, coercion or whatever one wants to call being forced to do something against one's will is a subtext that runs through all of my books in the Unpalatable Truth series and in fact, runs throughout all of our lives and nobody appears to be exempt. Being ordered about by the boss or receiving a demand to pay money are everyday examples of being bullied, which one no doubt accepts. However, things that are often clothed as a discipline are really bullying and it helps to recognise the subtle difference.
