Being bullied or being a bully in adolescence can have profound effects on individuals,

both in the short term and the long term. Here are descriptions of the effects for both

scenarios:

Effects of Being Bullied:

Emotional Impact: Victims of bullying often experience a range of negative emotions

such as fear, anxiety, sadness, and anger. They may also develop low self-esteem and

feelings of worthlessness.

Psychological Effects: Bullying can lead to psychological issues such as depression,

anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Victims may also have

suicidal thoughts or engage in self-harm as a way to cope with their pain.

Social Withdrawal: Bullied individuals may withdraw from social interactions, feeling

isolated and unable to trust others. They may struggle to make friends and develop

healthy relationships.

Academic Consequences: Bullying can impact academic performance due to decreased

concentration, absenteeism, and difficulty focusing on schoolwork. This can lead to

lower grades and educational attainment
