Three ways Bulling Impacts Children Has one ever been a victim of bullying? If you answered yes, oneself know what it feels like to feel like oneself has no one in their corner. Feeling like one can’t speak up in fear of retaliation. However, there are many resources available to students of all ages. Bullying is a huge crisis we face today, students and children of all ages, races and backgrounds are subject to bullying daily. Every 40 seconds a child dies from the causes of bullying ( Islamabad, 2023 ). Bullying is described as “ the exposure to long-term, repeated negative actions on the part of one or more persons.” Three negative effects for bullied children are additional family issues at home, learning unwanted behaviors, and decreased mental health. Family Issues at Home Children relationship with their parents significantly impact their mental health and the relationships that they have with their peers and those around them. Children who are exposed to bullying often exhibit symptoms of being distraught and agitation. Violence among youth has a strong connection with those who are subject and experience situations such as victimization of bullying, physical altercations, intimate partner issues as well as gang violence (Hong Et Al. 2021). Children who display signs of bullying are subject to in home violence and neglect within their homes. Child abuse and neglect can be defined as physical, sexual, mental, and emotional abuse. Their parents also were reported to have higher substance abuse problems. (Hong Et Al. 2021). Based on the studies conducted, there were 678,000 cases that involved child neglect and abuse back in 2018. (Hong Et Al. 2021). 2

Learning Unwanted Behaviors Additionally, children who bully or mimic bullying behavior tend to utilize aggressive behaviors to obtain their goals. Children who exhibit bullying often mimic the behaviors learned at home. Children who are subject to being bully are often subject to capricious and physical punishment at home as well as being less monitored in regard to whereabouts or activities by their parents. These same children are also disciplined for antisocial conduct. These such behaviors such as antagonizing, verbal abuse and threatening often expand out the home towards their peers. Children who exhibit aggression around age eight are more likely by the time they are in their thirties to have criminal convictions, moving infractions and be aggressive towards their children and spouse or significant other (Robert and Morotti, 2000). Research suggests that children who are subject to bullying are less likely to be involved in healthy lifestyle and tend to disengage from peers and relationships where before it was their normal prior to being subject to such harsh behaviors at the hands of their peers, to deal with the stress (Cassidy, 2009). Children or victims of bullying often tend to self-isolate, display behaviors of downcast, being impulsive and display poor social interactions with peers., which increases their risk of suicidal iterations and bullying behaviors (Cuesta Et Al. 2021). Children who also suffer with low self-esteem and struggle in school are also likely to commit suicide. Decreased Mental Health Lastly, children who are subject to bullying exhibit poor mental health and poor relationships with their peers. The article suggests that children who are bullied are less effective at utilizing effective coping skills. Girls are more likely to be a victim of bullying than boys according to a study conducted by (Cassidy, 2009). With age studies have shown a decrease in bullying behaviors (Shetgiri Et Al. 2015). A few of the main forecaster for v ictimization were 3

sex, family situation, social identity, and problem-solving style. Those who are victims of bullying exhibit behaviors of being anxious, unconfident, withdrawn, susceptible, a push over and apathetic (Cuesta Et Al. 2021). These areas play a huge part in social development and how likely a child is going to be a victim of bullying or to going to be on the bullying end of the scope. Self-esteem, psychological distress, and social identity aid in the process as children get older. Those who are victims of adolescent bullying display signs of agony when they feel invalidated by those around them and are less effective at utilizing coping skills (Cassidy, 2009). Children who don’t feel accepted by their social circle, or their peers tend to have higher levels of stress and anxiety resulting in them being a victim of bullying. Research conducted shows that many children who exhibit anti-bullying behaviors tend to be convinced that bullying is not ethical and displayed compassion for those who are victims (Fox, 2014). Being conscious of inner family difficulties, recognizing unhealthy and unsafe behaviors among children and being aware of signs and symptoms of mental instability are just a few ways we can combat this ongoing problem. Awareness is key to success in overcoming adolescent bullying. 4
