Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is an 8 page paper discussing the effects of bullying on school children. Bullying in school children has been found to have several negative short term and long term effects. In the short term, children become withdrawn, depressed and unable to handle the stress associated with bullying and school. Their absenteeism increases, their cooperation decreases and the cumulative effect is that the victim begins to do poorly in school. It has been found that the stress associated with bullying can also become dormant for many years and surface in adulthood leading to psychosocial problems. Some victims of bullying become aggressive themselves and end up disrespectful to their teachers and parents in addition to alienating themselves from their peers. Many children who become aggressive have seen power hierarchies within their own family structure and they remain aggressive to their peers, siblings and eventually their own children; in effect, becoming bullies. It is obvious that children suffer greatly from bullying but unfortunately much of the bullying which occurs is not reported as most schools rely on the victim to report the abuse which may offer additional unwanted stress to the child.

For some reason that is not entirely clear to educators, some children within the school system are seen as different from the other children and become
targets for bullies. Bully can be from individuals or groups and these groups can eventually alienate a child, or children, and this abuse or aggression can have a great deal
of stress on the victims in addition to causing several long term negative effects. Bullying is considered to be "any form of physical violence, threats of violence, persistent and nasty
teasing, extortion for money or goods, and deliberate isolation of a person by excluding that person from the group" (Lau, 2002, p. 13). Children who are victims of bullies are
found to have varying levels of stress and have a more difficult time adjusting than other children. In addition to adjustment problems and secondary symptoms caused by stress, the victims
