Episode 191: Ethics Over Ego – When Bullying Becomes a Mental Health Crisis
What happens when a school becomes a place of fear instead of safety? Bullying remains one of the most painful yet overlooked issues in Malaysia, leaving deep psychological scars that follow young people far beyond the classroom — both online and offline.In this episode of RealiTEA Podcast, hosts Qistina, Nazurah, Aqilah, and Mukhriz speak with Dr. Najwa Rosli, Consultant Neuropsychiatrist and Psychotherapist at Avisena Specialist Hospital, to unpack how ego-driven conflicts, silence, and a lack of ethical responsibility can escalate harm. Grounded in real Malaysian contexts and aligned with SDG 3.4 (Good Health and Well-Being), the conversation explores how empathy, emotional regulation, and ethical decision-making can prevent bullying before it turns tragic — because choosing ethics over ego isn’t just right, it can save lives.#RealiTEAPodcast #EndBullyingMY #EthicsOverEgo #MentalHealthAwareness #SDG3 #YouthForChange #GenZVoices #SafeSpacesWe’re on socials!Twitter: @realiteapodcas1TikTok: @realiteaktok

In the age of virality, harm spreads faster, louder, and further, making responsibility more urgent than ever.In this episode of RealiTEA Podcast, hosts Izzuin, Irdina, Haziq, and Muqri speak with Datuk Wan Azmir Wan Majid, Managing Partner at Hafarizam Wan & Aisha Mubarak (HWAM), to examine bullying through the lens of accountability.

Episode 188: The Social Thermostat – The Unseen Cost of Bullying
The bruises may fade, but the exhaustion of pretending to be “okay” often lingers. Bullying leaves behind an invisible weight — the constant emotional labour of adjusting yourself to feel safe, accepted, or unnoticed. This quiet strain, often unspoken, takes a serious toll on mental well-being.In this episode of RealiTEA Podcast, hosts Kamila, Hajar, Ernie, and Adam speak with Nabilah Burhanuddin, Lead Clinical Psychologist at Sage Centre, to unpack the idea of the “social thermostat” — the unseen coping mechanisms victims adopt to survive. Anchored in SDG 3.4 (Good Health and Well-Being), the conversation explores the hidden cost of bullying, the emotional void it creates, and how reclaiming your story can be a powerful step towards healing.#RealiTEAPodcast #EndBullying #CycleBreakers #SDG3 #MentalHealthMatters #YouthWellbeing #SafeSpacesWe’re on socials!Twitter: @realiteapodcas1TikTok: @realiteaktok

Episode 187: Speak Up, Spill Out – Turning Pain Into Power
Bullying is often brushed off as “just jokes”, but for many young Malaysians, it leaves lasting emotional scars — both online and offline. From cyberbullying to power imbalances in schools, silence has become the default response, driven by fear, shame, and the absence of safe support systems.In this episode of RealiTEA Podcast, hosts Arrisha, Hany, Anas, and Syakila sit down with Teoh Jun Jane, Miss Universe Malaysia 2018 and founder of the #DareToShout campaign, to unpack how bullying threatens peace, safety, and freedom of expression among youth. Through lived experiences and candid reflection, the conversation explores what SDG 16.10 truly means — and how Gen Z, alongside schools, digital platforms, and institutions, can break the cycle of silence and create safer spaces for all. Because staying silent protects the bully — but speaking up protects the future.#RealiTEAPodcast #EndBullying #CycleBreakers #SDG16 #FreedomOfExpression #YouthVoices #DareToShout #SafeSpacesWe’re on socials!Twitter: @realiteapodcas1TikTok: @realiteaktok
