Explanation of Solution

Suggested response

The act of bullying has negative consequences not only for the victim of bullying, but also the bully. The consequences of bullying include low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, isolation, self-hate, disrupted appetite, sleep issues, and academic issues. However, certain people might be more susceptible to serious psychological damage caused by bullying. This might be so for a number of different factors as outlined below.

A person who has been through traumatic experiences in the past is more vulnerable to emotional scarring. These people are more prone to developing depression and anxiety. It is because a history of trauma leaves a person more vulnerable to feeling stressed because of increased levels of cortisol. If such a person experiences bullying, they are more likely to experience high levels of distress which damages their perception of self-worth.

Another instance where bullying might especially be harmful is when a child comes from a dysfunctional family. In families where parents are negligent, abusive, or there is parental discord; the child is more susceptible to emotional distress. Lack of support from parents and constant family stress may make them more psychologically sensitive to becoming depressive and anxious. Persistent difficulties in school life and family life may leave the child feeling hopeless, withdrawn, and in extreme cases, suicidal.
