The Negative Effects on Bullying

Bullying has an effect on an individual’s mood, their behavior, and how they feel. Living in fear is not something a person should experience.
Bullying can trigger the feeling of loneliness and sadness. Knowing that bullying occurs commonly at school, the victim normally is an outcast from the majority of their peers.

Many victims who have dealt with bullies are scared mentally and have considered the thought of suicide. Selective individuals are extremely traumatized by bullying, that they become miserable and not able to talk to someone about
