When kids are young how they live their life will affect them when they are older. Any experience that they encounter cannot be undone which is why it is absolutely critical to resolve this matter as soon as possible. After a period of time that a young boy or girl gets bullied because of how they look, how they talk, or even for no reason at all, they start to have psychological effects. Bullying can seriously impact their self esteem and can lead to depression and as they grow older can become more drastic and have suicidal thoughts, to say the least this is no joking matter. They say that the best time of our lives is when we're kids which is true, without a care in the world having fun and learning new things. One thing we don't want is for those new things they learn to be how to cope with bullying, their only kids once and we don't want them regretting their past. Those that bully don't understand what their actions cause and obviously they don't go home and tell their parents they bullied someone, which is why we as parents have to step in and help our children and protect them by all means.

Many children don't come home and tell their parents about them being abused at school and when we ask them "how was school" they don't fully express their day. It's no one's fault if this is the case but we have to always pay real close attention to our children because they can be really good at hiding their feelings. It's completely normal for any kid to get bruises from the playground but once you notice that their constant you should start worrying. Sometimes children show signs of loss appetite, sadness or even take out the anger that he feels for the bully on his own family. Every child is different and reacts differently, but no matter what, the after effects of bullying follows them home and takes over their life. If you see him too scared to go or come back from school it's a clear sign of bullying and you should start to really worry, going to school should never scare any child but it's only logical if he's being bullied. They can't defend themselves and their whole day is spent on worrying what the bully is going to do to them next. You may not be at school physically to protect them but there are many ways to prevent it from happening even without your presence. There are many ways kids get bullied even through the Internet so keep that in mind as well.
