However, there are some parts that can turn school into hell on earth as well.
And sadly,bullyingis more common than many adults realize.
According to theNational Center for Educational Statistics, one fifth of all students report being bullied.
And this isnt usually a one-time occurrence, as 41% of bullying victims expect it to happen again.
First, we wanted to know why bullying is so common.
Children learn from adults, Anna says.
The expert also explained how bullying can affect victims.
Bullying is abuse perpetrated on children by children.
It can affect the victims future adult relationships and even their careers.
We also asked Anna if its important for victims to forgive their bullies at some point.
But Anna says that the concept of forgiveness is complex.
Our foundation helps students begin student led anti-bullying clubs on their campuses.
It is never too late for bullies to seek help and ask for forgiveness.
School yard bullies are much more likely to be incarcerated when they become adults than the general population.
No one wants this in their childs future, Anna shared.
