All people somehow go through the bullying at some period of their life, without exceptions. Mostly it happens in childhood, when kids go to school and start socializing. For any child it’s hard to start communicating with other children because before parents were the only people they had communication with. So when you enter school, you have no idea how to behave in society. School is the place where come children from different families, they have different types of upbringing which makes it so easy to meet at least one aggressive and cruel child in one class. So you can become an easy target for bullies in almost any case, firstly, just because you’ve never had experience in standing up for yourself.
There’re are many forms of bullying and any of them can affect child’s safety and mental health. But there’s one which I guess affects the most, and it’s not only about mental health. Physical bullying is the worst and most dangerous form. The first and the most important reason is that the victim suffers from not the only non-verbal mockery, but also can get seriously injured. Children don’t know when to stop and it can end up with serious consequences. Apart from it, the effects of such form of bullying last a lifetime. Victim may have mental problems, may become aggressive too. From the statistics, most of the serial killers have been through physical abuse at school or at home. So I suppose parents and teachers should learn how to identify abused children and protect them!
