Childhood bullying, whether physical or verbal, has long-lasting effects on children leading them to develop distrust which can likely cause them to develop significant mental health problems as.
Children who experience bullying at a young age are at a much higher risk of developing significant mental health issues by age 17, a new study has found.
Bullied at 11, developing greater distrust by 14, adolescents were 3.5 times more likely to face mental health issues at 17 than those with less distrust.
