Effects of Bullying >>>>>>> Bullying can affect everyone--those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide. It is important to talk to kids to determine whether bullying--or something else--is a concern. Kids Who are Bullied >>>>>>> Kids who are bullied can experience negative physical, school, and mental health issues. Kids who are bullied are more likely to experience: Depression and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep and eating patterns, and loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy. These issues may persist into adulthood. Health complaints Decreased academic achievement—GPA and standardized test scores—and school participation. They are more likely to miss, skip, or drop out of school. A very small number of bullied children might retaliate through extremely violent measures. In 12 of 15 school shooting cases in the 1990s, the shooters had a history of being bullied.

​Understanding mental health
Serious mental illness Like addiction,
mental health disorders are treatable medical conditions, not someone’s fault. About half of people with a substance use disorder also experience serious mental illness.
Almost 1 in 5 adults in the USA will experience some form of mental health disorder, and 1 in every 22 is living with a serious mental illness, like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depressive episodes. When a serious mental illness like this affects someone under the age of 18, it’s called a serious emotional disturbance.
A lot of stigma and judgement exists around serious mental illness. People may expect someone with serious mental illness to look visibly different, and they may tell someone they don’t "look ill" or that they should just "get over it" by using willpower.

They say that, ~ Pandora ~ opened a jar containing sickness, death, and many other unspecified evils which were then released into the world.
Though she hastened to close the container, only one thing was left behind.
