Bullying is a worldwide problem. In Britain, 16,000 children
stay at home because of bullying. Their exam results suffer
and they don't go to university or get good jobs. Bullied
children sometimes have serious illnesses; they cannot focus
for a long time; they have poor social skills; and have
problems with jobs and relationships. Parents and schools
need to do more about stopping bullying. They need to teach
their children how to communicate well with other children.
