Bullying is a big problem that affects lots of children. Being bullied can make children feel scared, sad and worried or embarassed, according to LSU AgCenter family life professor Dr. Diane D. Sasser.
The stress of dealing with bullies can even cause them to feel physically ill, Sasser adds.
Having bullies around can take the fun out of school. Some children feel afraid to go to the lunchroom, the restroom or the playground because of bullies. It's hard for t hem to keep their minds on schoolwork or enjoy friends when they're worried about how they're going to get around the bully near their lockers.
"Bullying bothers everyone and not just the children who are getting picked on!" Sasser says.
