Children's Peer Bullying and Its Effects on Adulthood
Peer bullying is a form of aggressive behavior that involves the repeated mistreatment of a child by one or more peers. It can take many forms, including physical violence, verbal abuse, social exclusion, and cyberbullying. Peer bullying can have serious negative effects on the well-being of both the victim and the perpetrator. Peer bullying during childhood can have significant and long-lasting effects on individuals as they grow into adulthood. Research has shown that children who experience bullying are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and other mental health issues, both during childhood and later in life.
