What happens when a child grows up surrounded by foster care instability, gangs, violence, and constant fighting?

In Episode 95 of Breaking Bullying, Madison Phillips shares how his childhood changed after his parents went to prison, forcing him into the foster care system and eventually into violent school environments where fighting became survival.

Madison opens up about:

• Being moved through multiple foster homes

• Constantly changing schools and environments

• Being pressured into gangs and drugs

• Getting jumped by over 20 students at school

• Why some teachers cared and others didn’t

• How one environment change helped transform his future

Today, Madison Phillips is a college graduate, nonprofit founder, author, and mentor helping young people understand they are more than their past.

This episode is a powerful conversation about bullying, survival, school environments, trauma, resilience, and the life-changing impact caring adults can have on a child.
