For many families, bullying may seem like a part of growing up, but evidence continues to mount that bullying can have serious, long-lasting effects on the mental health of children.³ Bullying not only makes children and adolescents on the receiving end extremely uncomfortable, self-conscious and antisocial, but bullying may also cause them psychological trauma and resentment that lasts well into adulthood. Kids who are bullied are significantly more likely to experience depression, mood swings, anxiety, or to react violently.⁴
