Consequence of bullying

Effects of bullying
 Mona O'Moore of the Anti-Bullying Centre at Trinity College in Dublin, has written, "There is a growing body of research which indicates that individuals, whether child or adult, who are persistently subjected to abusive behavior are at risk of stress related illness which can sometimes lead to suicide".[43]  Those who have been the targets of bullying can suffer from long term emotional and behavioral problems. Bullying can cause loneliness, depression, anxiety, lead to low self-esteem and increased susceptibility to illness.[44]  Bullying has also been shown to cause maladjustment in young children, and victims of bullying who were also bullies themselves exhibit even greater social difficulties.[45]  In the long term it can lead to posttraumatic stress disorder and an inability to form relationships.

Also known as [].
The term bullycide is a portmanteau word first used in 2001 by Neil Marr and Tim Field in their book Bullycide: Death at Playtime.It refers to suicide attributable to the victim having been bullied, either in person or via social media.]  Bullycide has also been defined as the killing of the bully by the victim. The term has come to prominence during the highly publicised teenage suicides in the USA in the latter part of 2010, but had been used less widely before. The term has also gained notice by way of celebrities including Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashianspeaking out against it.

In response to the bullying-related deaths in 2010, particularly those related to cyber-bullying, an online event, Spirit Day, was created in which participants were asked to wear purple as a symbol of respect for the deceased victims of bullying and to signify opposition to the bullying of theLGBT community.

Legal analysts criticise the term because it links a cause with an effect under someone else's control.Research shows those who are bullied have a higher probability of considering or performing suicide than those who are not. However, there are victims of bullying who do not end up committing suicide, and some of them share their experiences in order to send a positive message to bullying victims that suicide is not the only option. In 2010 there were at least 34 suicides reported that have been attributed to bullycide. That number may be very low though because some incidents may be mistakenly reported as a “regular” suicide (CREDIT TO WIKIPEDIA)

Violence
Bullied students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold carried out the 1999 Columbine High School massacre. Since then, bullying has been more closely linked to high school violence in general.[51]

Serial killers were frequently bullied through direct and indirect methods as children or adolescents. Henry Lee Lucas, a serial killer and diagnosed psychopath, said the ridicule and rejection he suffered as a child caused him to hate everyone. Kenneth Bianchi, a serial killer and member of the Hillside Stranglers, was teased as a child because he urinated in his pants and suffered twitching, and as a teenager was ignored by his peers.

This example is perfect for violence as a consequence for bullying. This caused the victim to feel that using violence to solve the problem, leading the victim to the wrong path of  life. the bullying caused them to have a distortion in their mind, thus also causing them to build up hatred, hating everyone and themselves. In the future, they might even become the bullies themselves and their children might suffer in the future as well due to wrong teachings and abuse.

Even though it might sound exaggerating, this action also spawn more hatred, thus more people might feel using violence is the best way of fulfilling one satifaction.



positive development
Some have argued that bullying can teach life lessons and instil strength. Helene Guldberg, a child development academic, sparked controversy when she argued that being a victim of bullying can teach a child "how to manage disputes and boost their ability to interact with others", and that teachers should not intervene, but leave children to respond to the bullying themselves:

<p style="line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;"> If boys or girls are able to stand up for themselves, being attacked by enemies can help their development. Studies have shown that children become more popular among, and respected by, teachers and fellow pupils if they repay hostility in kind. They remember such experiences more vividly than friendly episodes, helping them to develop healthy social and emotional skills".

<p style="line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;">Bullying can also cause victims to adapt social or physical lifestyle changes that result in greater mental or physical health over the longer term. For example, weight-based victimization (WBV) has been shown to influence overweight individuals to lose weight.

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:19.1875px;font-family:sans-serif;">Despite occasional assertions that bullying can be positive and even productive, the avowed normative consensus is that bullying is a form of abuse and is wholly negative.
