Bullying's impact on children
School and cyberbullying pose a serious threat to children's mental and social health, leading to psychological suffering, isolation, sleep disturbances, and suicidal pleas, with some cases reaching tragic outcomes. The phenomenon affects over 50% of children in certain countries, especially in Eastern Europe, with bullying prevalence reaching 42.7% in North Africa and 41.1% in the Middle East. Risk factors are varied and include individual, family, and school environmental factors. Addressing this issue requires joint efforts, including the implementation of preventive policies, teacher training, parental awareness, and developing children's skills to use technology safely. Early prevention and interventions by schools and families are essential to prevent the escalation of psychological and physical effects of bullying, with a focus on promoting values of respect and empathy among adolescents.
