The consequences of being bullied at school are far reaching and irreversible.

Most people will say no. Many people think it helps children to cope with a "tough world" and makes them better socially adapted since they have to work through a difficult problem on their own and "what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger".

Quite the reverse is true unfortunately for your child.

Self esteem is greatly affected. When a child, your child, is constantly physically and verbally abused, laughed at and made to feel inferior, they develop an inferiority complex. They expect to underachieve and the process is pathological. Your child will become afraid to stand out from the crowd for fear of being noticed by life's bully and put back in their place. The painful childhood memories make them hide somewhere in the middle to low end of their capability in anything. The self esteem is shattered and the desire to succeed is beaten out of them. Underachievement is just easier to achieve for those that lack confidence and belief in themselves.

Self promotion is affected and suppressed. Low self esteem makes the child feel worthless. They never feel they are the one who can make a difference or get the result or get the promotion or that special job that is advertised. They lack the courage to try to siucceed because the school bully forever haunts their psychic. They will never push themselves forward in sport, work, the chance of promotion or in relationships. They are destined for underachievement.

Poor communication is the direct result of bullying. These children suffer terrible emotional torment and the only way of coping is to bottle up the frustration and pain and lock it away. This introverted existence makes them afarid to communicate. they lack confidence to talk to people and become asocial. Members of the opposite sex will feel at ease with the victims of bullying since self confidence and the vital spark is lacking in a child with low self esteem from bullying. They struggle to build relationships both at a personal level and in th workplace. They will miss opportunities to succeed and opportunities for promotion because they lack the "can do" attitude and the "killer instinct".

Bullying greatly affects their self confidence and their social skills.They will struggle to gain acceptance to peer groups and therefore struggle to make friends and to build social relationships. It is a lonely world without friends and this loneliness can lead to self destructive behaviours in a desperate attempt to attract attention or even worse in an attempt to do self harm.

Self defence is lacking all the way through their lives. These bullied children will live with regret from every chapter of their life as they don't have the confidence to take action when they are treated unfairly or with a lack of respect. They live with regret for what they should have said or done but didn't have the confidence or inner strength to take action. Children that are the victims of bullying at school will be left disappointed as the big moments come in life and pass by without a bang. Nothing will ever seem to go their way because they failed to seize the moment and take action.

Depression is common in children that are bullied. They never get what they want in life. Bullied children grow up with sadness and a lack of self confidence. Anorexia or suicide are tragic consequences of poor self esteem that develops as a result of being bullied at school.

Most parents don't want this for their children. You must take action to give your child the best possible outcome in life and to help them to be all that they can be.
