All children who are affected by bullying can suffer harm - whether they are being bullied, bully others or witness bullying. It's important all children get support if they are being bullied, or if they are displaying bullying behaviours towards others.

Kids who are bullied can experience negative physical, social, emotional, academic, and mental health issues. Kids who are bullied are more likely to experience:

Depression and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep and eating patterns, and loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy. These issues may persist into adulthood.
They are more likely to miss, skip, or drop out of school.

Social bullying is also called relational bullying, relational aggression, or emotional bullying. It involves threatening someone's reputation or relationships.

Physical bullying includes bodily harm or damage to possessions. Any form of unprovoked aggressive physical contact constitutes physical bullying.

Cyberbullying involves bullying or harassing someone online or through social media. This harassment can occur on a computer, telephone, cell, or text messaging device.
The effects of bullying can last into adulthood. At its worst, bullying has driven children and young people to self-harm and even suicide.
