In the article “ Effects of Bullying Last Into Adulthood, Study Finds”, Catherine Saint Louis says that although it has been proven that the victims of bullying and bullies are more likely to have mental health problems in childhood, the recent studies have shown that the effects can last into adulthood as well. Through a long observation, the researchers found that the children who experienced bullying had much great chance to develop psychiatric problems in their adulthood, especially for those who were both bullies and victims.
Comparing to other educational issues, bullying can affect children’s adulthood as well. People should not simply regard bullying as children’s misbehaving because it might have profound effects on children’s life.
