School bullying

School bullying is a serious issue that affects millions of students across the country.

 It can lead to physical, emotional, and social harm for those who experience it. Unfortunately, many schools are not doing enough to address this problem and prevent it from happening in the first place. 

Bullying takes many forms including teasing or name-calling; 

spreading rumors; excluding someone from activities or groups; making threats of violence; damaging someone's property on purpose; and cyberbullying through emails, text messages, websites or social media platforms like Facebook. Regardless of how it’s done – all types of bullying have a negative impact on school climate and safety for everyone involved: bullies become more aggressive over time while victims suffer emotionally with feelings such as anxiety depression fear low self-esteem anger embarrassment shame guilt sadness loneliness helplessness isolation confusion despair withdrawal suicidal thoughts aggression towards others 

     

The consequences go beyond just psychological effects too: bullied students may miss more days at school due to feeling unsafe there which can lead them falling behind academically as well as having difficulty forming relationships with their peers outside the classroom environment because they feel so isolated inside one! This creates an even greater risk factor when considering potential long term impacts such as dropping out altogether (which has been linked directly back). 

 Fortunately there are steps that schools can take now in order to help combat this growing epidemic before its too late - implementing anti-bullying policies creating peer support programs providing resources & education about what constitutes acceptable behavior enforcing disciplinary action against perpetrators training staff members regularly monitoring student interactions closely setting up anonymous reporting systems etc.. All these measures will work together synergistically towards creating safe learning environments where every child feels secure respected valued accepted supported encouraged nurtured cared for loved !
