The Lasting Impact of Bullying on Children

Bullying is more than just hurtful words or actions—it can leave scars that last well beyond childhood. Whether it happens in school hallways, on the playground, or online, bullying disrupts a child’s sense of safety and belonging, often shaping the way they see themselves and the world around them.

When it comes to a child’s development, we often focus on physical growth and academic success. But equally important is their emotional and psychological well-being. At Child Guidance Resource Centers (CGRC), we believe early mental health intervention isn’t just important—it’s essential for a child’s long-term success and happiness.
