Present on the causes and effects of bullying in schools.

Causes often include students using bullying for initiation into school culture, for fun, or due to peer influence and a desire for status. Unfavorable school conditions and stress can also contribute.

The effects are severe. Victims suffer psychological and physical torture, leading to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and academic decline, impacting their future. Bullies may face disciplinary action and legal troubles. Bystanders experience guilt, fear, and may normalize violence. Ultimately, bullying erodes the school's sense of safety and trust, creating a hostile environment for all.
