Bullying statistics are awfully sad. According to them, one in five children in the US is bullied and one in three has experienced harassment online.
The effects of it are dangerous. Kids that experience bullying often skip school, letting their grades deteriorate. But that’s, of course, not the worst of it. Bullying can lead to bad habits such as drinking and smoking, and also serious mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety. In other words, it can be detrimental to a child’s future.
Unfortunately, there’s no easy way to remedy the situation. However, we should still try to make things better.
