The Effects of Bullying Behaviour

Although there are three main groups that are affected by bullying behavior those who are bullied, those who display bullying behavior and the bystanders who see it happen, bullying behavior encompasses and affects the entire school community, families and friendship groups.

Bullying behaviour creates a culture of fear and has a negative impact on everyone involved. Being bullied can seriously affect a person’s physical, emotional, academic and social well-being. Many sufferers of bullying lack confidence, feel bad about themselves, have few friends and spend a lot of time alone.

Being bullied is hurtful and stressful and is something many people find it hard to speak about. Those who are bullied continually ask, why me? They may feel ashamed and embarrassed that is happening to them.

Bullying behaviour can have devastating effects on a person which can last into adulthood. At its worst, being bullied has driven children and young people to self-harm and even suicide. Let's promote  awareness and help make a change in how we can help reshape society impact on this issue.
