Harms of Bullying

Why is bullying harmful?

Some people think bullying is just part of growing up and a way for young people to learn to stick up for themselves. But bullying can make young people feel lonely, unhappy and frightened. It makes them feel unsafe and think there must be something wrong with them. They lose confidence and may not want to go to school any more. It may make them sick. It could even force them to suicide. The power of bullying goes far beyond simple words and is not a laughing matter. Bullying is killing people and it must stop !
