 WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF BEING BULLIED?
Bullying makes a culture of dread and adversely af-
fects everybody included. Being tormented can genuinely in-
fluence an individual's physical, enthusiasm, scholastic, and
social prosperity. Numerous victims of tormenting need cer-
tainty, feel awful about themselves, have not many compan-
ions and invest a great deal of energy alone.
Bullying is an upsetting trial, one that numerous indi-
viduals discover hard to talk about. Those being tormented
constantly inquire as to why me? They may feel embarrassed
a lot that they are not confronting the domineering jerk and
manage what is befalling them.
Bullying can heavily affect an individual which can last
into adulthood. Even from a pessimistic standpoint, torment-
ing has driven kids and teenagers to self-hurt and even self-
destruction or suicide.

spect— the Golden Rule “Treat other the way you want to be
treated”. Set an example to other by showing love and
kindness to others.

can’t solve the problem directly. Encourage the child to report
bullying if it happens.

in many ways:
• Mentally — feeling upset, embarrassed, stupid, even
angry
• Emotionally — feeling ashamed or losing interest in the
things you love
• Physically — tired (loss of sleep), or experiencing symp-
toms like stomach aches and headaches

about what happen today, make them comfortable to open up

worst thing to happen.

Be sure to remember these

reminders.
