Why Bullying Prevention Matters

Bullying is more than “kids being kids”—it can cause long-lasting harm to a child’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Victims, bystanders, and even perpetrators are at risk of long-term effects, including:

• Anxiety and depression
• Low self-esteem and academic decline
• Social withdrawal and isolation
• Increased risk of substance use and self-harm
• In extreme cases, suicidal thoughts or actions
