Understanding Bullying

Bullying can have significant emotional and psychological impacts on children, affecting their self-esteem, academic performance, and overall well-being. Early intervention and support are crucial in helping children cope with and overcome the effects of bullying.

Types of Bullying

There are many types of bullying, such as:

  • Physical bullying: Slapping, punching, and tripping
  • Verbal bullying: Teasing and name-calling
  • Social/relational bullying: Spreading rumours and gossip, ostracizing

Bullying is a severe problem and may increase the risk of mental disorders such as depression and anxiety and impair other areas of life.
