October is National Bullying Prevention Month and in this week’s episode of “Awkward Conversations,” an encore from Season 3, Jodie Sweetin of “Full House” and “Fuller House” and clinical psychologist Dr. Krystal Lewis are joined by anti-bullying advocate and author Jodee Blanco. Together, they dive into the emotional toll of bullying and how it can lead to substance use.
