                                                               subjected to peer bullying.
        First  of  all,  what  is  bullying  to  begin  with?  Bullying  is
        unwanted,aggressive  behavior  among  students  or       If  you  have  anyone  around  you  that  gets  bullied
        even grown ups.Bullying doesn’t have to be physical.   you should be concerned about their health. It may
        It  can  be  done  by  only  using  words  that  upsets   seem like it’s not that big of a deal but because of this
        people.So  back  to  our  topic,how  does  this  affect   people hate themselves and they even may try to kill
        students psychology? We can see that people who        themselves.
        get  bullied  are  mostly  introverts.  If  they  get  bullied   Bullying doesn’t only stop at physical or using words
        at school we may say that they don’t have so many  it  can  be  done  by  virtual.  Like  using  social  media
        friends or because of the rumors people do not want  or  games.  As  a  result  of  the  studies  conducted,
        to be friends with them. In this age of students this can  it  is  known  that  virtual  bullying  is  actually  more  of  a
        lead to depression. Well there are so many kinds of  psychological violence besides its physical effects and
        depression, it can be just a one time thing or it can  causes psychological problems such as depression,
        be really serious and it can affect the students social  low  self-esteem,  sadness,  health  problems,  school
        life.  Bullying  doesn’t  necessarily  need  to  affect  the  absenteeism,  bad  grades,  suicidal  thoughts,  social
                                                               adjustment disorder, fear of school, academic failure,
                                                               loneliness and so much more health issues. And so
                                                               many of these kids’ families don’t know about this and
                                                               can’t even help their kids to go to a therapist or get
                                                               the needed help.

                                                                Kids nowadays get more and more insecure about
                                                               themselves. So many schools don’t even care about
                                                               this problem and when they talk to them about this,
                                                               the  school  doesn’t  do  anything  useful  about  it.  This
                                                               makes the kid feel unheard. This causes trauma on
                                                               the kid and later in their life they start to think that they
                                                               can never resist to anything that they got told to do so.

                                                               Lastly  we should obviously stop bullying but as families
                                                               or friends we should check on each other and don’t
                                                               let each other feel or think like this.
