Families play a significant part in how children develop. Family relationships can shape their ability to cope at school with social and academic pressures, how children form relationships with peers and can influence their risk of being rejected and bullied.

For many victims, bullying does not leave them just with unhappy childhood memories. It can have devastating long term consequences which last into adulthood. Bullying can lead to serious illness, poor social relationships and problems holding down a job. Also of concern is that victims are at greater risk in early adulthood of psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety and self-harm.

Bullying basically involves hurting someone. It is done repeatedly by someone who is stronger or thought to be stronger. This can be done in many ways such as physically through hitting, verbally through name calling and relationally through isolating someone socially. It can take place anywhere including at home, school or online.
