Bullying as a Major Public Health Issue
Introduction
One of the most distressing things that anybody, and particularly adolescents, may go through is being bullied. There has been a precipitous rise in the number of people taking their own lives as a direct consequence of being bullied in public areas, most notably inside the four walls of a classroom within a school. Recent research has shown that there is a significant link between being bullied and feeling stressed. As a consequence of being bullied, those who are victims of bullying are more likely to suffer from mental health issues such as depression and contemplate suicide. When the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention saw several cases of individuals taking their own lives as a result of bullying, they decided to conduct a thorough study. There is a link between bullying and suicidal behaviour in teenagers, especially those who are tortured in public places and in their schools, according to the team's study findings. There are specialists in both bullying and suicide who have contributed to this supplement's findings on the link between the two. During the panel discussion and in this special edition, we shed light on the difficult subjects of bullying and teen suicide. As a consequence of this investigation, three key themes emerged: This study found that (1) bullying among youths is a major public health issue, (2) bullying and suicide-related behaviours are strongly linked but this link can be mediated by other factors such as depression and delinquency, and (3) there are public health strategies that can be used to prevent bullying and suicide-related behaviours (1). Research into comparable scenarios has led us to the conclusion that there is a causal relationship between bullying and suicidal ideation or depression, in addition to finding a significant association between the two. Consequently, this has become one of the most pressing public health concerns of our day.
Literature Review
Bullying is a major public health issue due to its prevalence and the damage it causes to its victims. Depending on the source, anything from 20 to 56% of teens report being bullied on a regular basis [2]. From 6-17 students out of a class of 30 are involved in bullying, either as a victim or a perpetrator; in certain cases, both are involved (bully-victim). It is not only age or subgroup that influences bullying victimisation and perpetration rates; it is also the time period during which bullying behaviours are measured and the time period itself. Middle school kids are more likely to participate in bullying behaviour than high school students, according to research. Although cyberbullying has become more common in recent years, physical bullying still remains the most common form of harassment for children. Another factor favouring long-term bullying is that it is more likely to have occurred in the last year as compared to the past few months. Crime is more likely to affect some groups than others. Gay and lesbian children, for example, are more likely to be bullied than other children. Sexually active teens are six times more likely than heterosexual youths to report being victimised in the preceding 30 days [3]. Bullying is linked to poor mental and physical health, as well as engagement in other dangerous behaviours, among young people who harass others, are harassed themselves, or both bully and victim. Psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety, lower academic performance and a sense that they do not belong at school are all more common in children who are bullied. These children also have a harder time making friends, develop poorer relationships with their peers, and experience feelings of loneliness. Peer bullies are more likely than uninvolved peers or victims of bullying to report being physically abused by a family member, to see violent behaviour in their own homes and to become involved with suicidal thoughts and actions. Those who have been bullied are likewise more likely to have been abused by a family member.
As time goes on, people's lives may continue to be negatively impacted by bullying for months or even years after the bullying has ended. Over the course of a school year, students who have been bullied are more likely to develop emotions of sadness and anxiety than those who have not been bullied. Bullied teenagers are also more prone to experience stomach ache and a feeling of tightness [4]. Adults who were bullied as children were more likely to suffer from anxiety disorders such as GAD and panic attacks, according to one research. Over the course of seven years, another research indicated that those who were bullied were more likely to have depression, panic disorder, and suicidality. Antisocial personality disorder, low work status at the age of 18, and drug use between the ages of 27 and 32 were shown to be more common among those who had been bullied as children[5] in another longitudinal study[5].
Bullying and suicidal thoughts and behaviours are strongly linked, according to the study reported in this issue of the journal. Victims, bully-victims, and bullies themselves were considerably more likely to contemplate and attempt suicide. Victims of bullying, bully-victims, and bully perpetrators were all more likely to have suicidal thoughts and attempts in the research by Espelage and Holt. Borowsky's research found that 1.2 percent of uninvolved youth attempted suicide compared to 5 percent of those who frequently bullied others verbally or socially; 6 percent of those who were frequent victims of verbal/social bullying; and 11 percent of those who frequently bully-victims of verbal/social bullying [6]. This is consistent with the previously stated findings. Similar findings were found in a research of uninvolved kids, who were shown to be more depressed, anxious, self-conscious, self-reported health...
