Bullying and mental health

[eLdavis]

Over the years there have been lots of cases of students being bullied by either fellow students or teachers. South Korea has recorded high numbers of people committing suicide and most of these cases where often caused by bullying. I have seen most people develop mental issues like depression or high level of anxiety due to bullying. How can schools prevent students from being bullied to protect their mental health?

I have never been a victim of bully and I have never bullied anyone. If someone tries to bully me, I will stand up for myself. I do understand those who cannot stand up for themselves might end up with a victim mentality and it might cause a lot of mental health issues. Bullying in common in schools as hormonal charged students might not know what is good and what is bad. This can be tacked only through better education, especially lessons on morality.

Bullying deeply affects mental health. I’ve seen classmates withdraw, lose confidence, and even develop anxiety from constant bullying. It leaves lasting emotional scars. Supportive schools, anti-bullying policies, and open conversations can help victims feel safe, heard, and begin to heal.
