It can occur anywhere, and can have serious and long-lasting effects: low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and physical health problems.

Extreme or long-lasting bullying can push kids beyond their capacity to cope, driving kids to self-harming behaviors, or even consider taking their own life to end their pain. By the time a child reaches out to a someone for help, they’ve probably endured bullying for a long time.

‍It’s important to talk to your children about bullying – if you think your child is being bullied, has witnessed bullying, or being a bully to others. Encourage them to speak up if they or someone they know is being bullied. If your child is being bullied, it’s important to take action by talking to their teacher, school counsellor, or another appropriate authority figure.
