Three ways bullying can negatively impact children are ability to learn, hate school, and depression and suicide. The reason it can
affect the childs ability to learn is because they are worried about when and where they could be bullied next. So they will be
looking around instead of learning or listening to what they are learning. The reason they will hate school is because that is suppose
to be a childs safe spot. If they don’t feel safe or hate school they are most likely to drop out because they feel they wont be bullied
anymore. The reason it can make a child depressed or suicidal is they fall into depression because they don’t think people like them
or that the bully is making everyone hate them. The reason they fall into suicidal is because most of the time bullys will tell the
other child that they would be better off dead or that no one loves them.
