Devastating effects of bullying on children in the short and long-term

Bullying is often shrugged off as a ‘normal’ part of school life. But the effects of bullying on children can be devastating.

In the short term it can impact on victims’ schooling and social life.

However, it can also have a lifelong impact on victims’ mental health and how they view themselves, others and their education and future.

And it can impact the whole family as they struggle with supporting their child or sibling through the trauma.
