Smith Alley opens up about why it's time to stand up against bullying and harassment

Casey Scott and Dr. Matt Woolley are joined by Smith Alley (the Live Life Bigger foundation) again to talk about how bullying pushed him into depression, why he decided to turn towards pornography to mask the pain of the mental health problems he was dealing with, and his perspective on how bullying has changed even during his time in school. Then we talk about the recent passing of Drayke Hardman due to suicide after he was bullied, how technology is shifting the impact of bullying, and all of the ways that Smith is trying to raise awareness for mental health through his Live Life Bigger foundation. Lastly, Smith opens up about the mental health and suicide awareness concert on June 11th at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, UT.
