Bullying can tare families apart

Being a victim of bullying may result in many behavioral changes that may easily increase difficulties at home. Victims of bullying tend to isolate themselves from their families and hold more secrets from their loved ones. Victims also tend to overreact to situations often with irritability which may create more arguments within the household. Victims may also use excuses to get out of going to school to avoid being bullied. Victims may say they are feeling ill to miss out on events that they are afraid of attending. Victims may also avoid family outings and doing things they used to enjoy because of social anxiety. Bullying makes families more overprotective, caring more about their children's safety. Bullying does not only affect the victim, it affects their families as well.
