Abstract
Bullying is possibly one of the easiest things to deal with; however, it is also a very traumatizing event in a child’s lifetime. When a child is bullied, it often leads to low self-esteem, depression, and in serious cases, suicide. According to studies done at Yale University, it is estimated that bully victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide then non-victims. When a child is bullied in school, it can also lead to low grades and antisocial behavior.
