<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The first and probably the main effect of bullying in children is suicide. According to DeVoe and Murphy (2011), “In school year 2008-09, some 7,066,000 U.S. students ages 12 through 18, or 28.0 percent of all such students, reported they were bullied at school, and about 1,521,000, or 6.0 percent, reported they were cyber-bullied.” (p.1). If someone is bullying is more likely to commit suicide. Children without help may become depressed and this can cause them to commit suicide. Parents and teachers have to be more alert of children to avoid or detect bullying.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Another effect of bullying is depression, anxiety, and decreased academic **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">achievement **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">According to (Shore & Kenneth (2009), “ <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">bullying seems to have become more serious and more pervasive" <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">(p.1). Even if the victims have a healthy social life if they suffer from bullying they can feel loneliness and sad feelings which cause depression. Victims of bullying can also have health complaints and poor performance in school. A crucial thing to know is that these factors can affect children who are bullying.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Children who practice bully also have problems as the victim like feelings of guilt and mental illness. After bother others they usually have feelings of **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">guilt **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">. Children who bully are more likely to abuse of alcohol and drugs. “ <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The children who bully are more likely to be **truant**, drop out of school, or engage in alcohol, tobacco, or other drug abuse” (Lerman & Braford C., 2010). Other affects are similar to the victim like depression, anxiety, loneliness and sad feelings and poor performance in school.

<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bullying cannot be **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">allowed **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> or justified. It is alarming how people view bullying as normal. This practice should be punished severely. The main way to avoid bullying is that parents have to be **<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">aware **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> of what their children do at school. Society has to prevent kids suffer bullying.
