    Bullying has become a serious issue and can negatively impact everyone involved, including the target, bully, and bystanders. Being bullied can lead to low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, isolation, substance abuse, and even suicidal thoughts in the target. Both short and long term bullying can significantly impact a person's mental and physical health. Younger children bullying also needs to be addressed, as early bullying can influence victims into adulthood and kids at young ages are capable of intentionally harming others through their actions. Bullying should not be accepted or excused at any age.

    Stop Bullying Now


    In the generation we are living in, criticism has become harsher than ever. People
    feel the need to judge others by their appearance, attitude and their social economic
    status. These are some of the common reasons why some peers seem to bully an
    individual. According to stopbullying.gov bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior
    among school-aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The
    behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated over time. Both kids who are
    bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems(Stop Bulling). Bullying
    should be a crime; it is cruel and unethical. With the help of many professions like
    psychology, sociology, public health, education and other social sciences from the
    modern world, research on bullying has become broader.
    There are many ways bullying can influence and drastically change an individuals
    psychological origin. Bullying can affect everyonethose who are bullied, those who
    bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes
    including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide (Stop Bullying). Not only
    will the victim of bullying be dramatized but the one witnessing the problem will carry in
    their conscious that they should have helped the victim. In general, Bullying has a
    negative impact on everyone involved; the target, the bully and the bystander (Education
    of education and training). The target will most likely have low self-esteem because they

    feel worthless and incapable of being liked/ loved by someone else. Although the victim
    may have not felt like this in the beginning, all the negativity from the bully gets stuck in
    his head. Along with no self-esteem, the victim will be less accepted by peers, would
    avoid conflict and be conservative. The next complication for the victim will be high risk
    of substance use, depression, anxiety, and the feeling of being isolated or lonely. Which
    then can lead to suicidal thoughts. According to the Suicide Awareness Voices for
    Education, Suicides among 15-24 years olds is the third leading cause of death for
    youth. One of 65,000 children ages 10 to 14 commit suicide every year. Over 16% of
    students seriously consider suicide, 13% create a plan, and 8 percent have made a serious
    attempt (Nonbulling). Bullying is an increasing issue in the school system. What people
    dont know is that the individual may get affected at a young age until becoming an adult.
    Studies have been organized to determine whether a short or long period of time of being
    bullied has a higher risk in affecting someone. The results were frightful, and it seem like
    bullying is more drastic then originally thought. Attendance seems to be declining due to
    bullying, more than 5.9 percent of students missed school due to fear. Kids that get
    bullied tend to have more health problems than the ones not getting bullied; victims of
    bulling take more trips to the doctors office as well. Mental health is also at risk when
    bulling someone; they have a higher chance in getting depression, anxiety and other
    serious mental issues. Lets just put it this way, if you have nothing nice to say then you
    should just keep it to yourself.
    Younger age bulling is a topic that needs to be reconsidered. Many believe kids
    that are in kindergarten to six grade have no intention in harming another individual, but
    in reality they are smarter then we think. Kids will be kids, the saying goes, so warning

    signs of bullying are often overlooked as a natural part of childhood. However, although
    playground bullies have been around since time immemorial, such behavior should
    neither be considered acceptable nor excusable(The Impact Of Bulling).
