What Effects Bullying have in Children?
Bullying among young children is not uncommon. When groups of young
children, who often differ largely in size, skill level, and family experience; get
together regularly, patterns of hurtful behavior often arise. Many adolescents
suffer from emotional distress, with chronic sadness, depression, stress, anxiety or
suicidal ideation, and prevention of distress and suicide involvement among our
youth is a national health priority. As children across the country are starting their
school years, their parents and guardians are taking steps to make sure they're
equipped with the needed supplies and clothes that fit. More is need however to
equip them with the tools to help prevent bullying. It is a repeated behavior that
can take the form of physical, verbal, or emotional abuse. Often based on the
unbalance in power such as physical strength, popularity, hurtful information. In
fact, many children and adolescents are hesitant to talk about being bullied or to
acknowledge that they are bullying others. Sadly as it is, children today have a
greater risk of developing mental health disorders, decreases in academic
achievement, and put themselves into a pattern of self-isolation, withdrawing

from friends due to the negative effects that result from the bullying of their peers.
The "gold standard" for developmental research is the design of
researchers examining whether painful childhood experiences leave lasting scars
that carry over into adulthood. Emerging primarily in the last 5 years, studies have
appeared with starting points from using multiple informants, with outcomes
covering physical & mental health, social interaction, externalized and
internalized behavior problems. Depression is a common but serious mental
illness. About 6.7 percent of all Americans experience major depressive disorder
in any given year. Recognizing the signs of mental illness among youth and
providing access to quality treatment is critical to the overall health of our nation.
If we can all work together to raise awareness and consciousness on mental health
in America then there just might be a way to help our youth get treatment and the
support they need to flourish at home, school, and throughout our community.
One of the most important advances in treating serious mental illness in recent
years is improving care for people experiencing the first onset of serious mental
illness. Mental health is central to everyone's well-being, especially adolescents,
teens, and adults. Our youth are the ones who are most active in their
communities wherein they initiate growth, lead and contribute to society.
However, in many cases, some young people face additional challenges that can
take a toll on their well-being, including suffering from mental illness. While we
should be grateful that 57.4 percent of young adults with a mental illness received
