Author’s quote: “If your child is the victim of a bully, he may suffer physically and emotionally, and his schoolwork will likely show it. Grades drop because, instead of listening to the teacher, kids are wondering what they did wrong and whether anyone will sit with them at lunch. If bullying persists, they may be afraid to go to school. Problems with low self-esteem and depression can last into adulthood and interfere with personal and professional lives.
Bullies are affected too, even into adulthood; they may have difficulty forming positive relationships. They are more apt to use tobacco and alcohol, and to be abusive spouses. Some studies have even found a correlation with later criminal activities.”

Paraphrase: Bullies and victim of bullies both have different effects. The victim’s mind and emotions fluctuate from high to low because their self-esteem is out of whack. Bullies are also affected, but in a different way. Studies show that bullies have a negative for the future; they tend to be more likely to alcohol and tobacco, have trouble with creating good relationships, tend to be physical wives/husbands, and also more likely to be involved with crimes.
