One of the most serious problems facing schools today is that of bullying. A recent report by the Centre for Disease Control (CDC) suggested that nearly a fifth of the respondents had been bullied in school in the preceding year. This might mean that the problem is more widespread than people believe....Several factors can compound suicide tendencies in children. Those who had adverse childhood experiences, such as growing up with a mentally ill family member, are more predisposed to suicide. Substance abuse is also a major contributing factor. It should also be noted that those who are bullied are likely to bully others weaker than them as a way of releasing their anger.
