We have thoroughly discussed the topic together and we wanted to answer the second question. For us, this talk has brought a new meaning to the words bullying and harassment which we usually understood within the context of school or personal relationships. We had also never realised that it was an issue that affected adults as well as younger people such as teenagers. Lewinsky offers a new perspective on the matter, making us realise how devastating it can be for someone to undergo a case of public harassment and how deeply it can affect someone.
Ada, Thanks for your nice comment. It shows you have understood the text!
