Student Ratings & Reviews
Bullying involves a power imbalance and is different from a one-time fight. It affects many students, especially those in marginalized groups, and can lead to serious mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts. Signs of bullying include physical or verbal fights, pretending to be sick, and emotional distress. Witnessing bullying can also harm mental health. Many places, like Georgia, have laws to protect students from bullying.
