About Peer-Bullying
Bullying and violence in schools harms children and adolescents’ physical health and emotional well-being. Bullied students tend to feel lonelier, anxious, depressed and may have trouble with their relationships compared to non-bullied children. Bullying also takes an enormous toll on their learning, as those who are bullied may miss classes, avoid school activities, or drop out of school altogether.
