Emotional Effects Of Obesity In Children
Is your kid being bullied at school? The word “bullying” means making fun of someone. Nowadays, bullying is spreading like a plague.
People in different spheres of life have to confront bullying sooner or later at some point of time.
Only a very few lucky people have never been the victims of bullying. The majority of the mass that is targeted for bullying is the school-going kids.
School-going kids, especially those who are obese are harassed at school very badly.
The bullies make fun of the obese kids, and over the time this bantering can make your kid emotionally weaker, which can result in a low self-esteem.
The bullied kids start skipping classes and, sometimes, they even stop going to school totally. It is probably the most heart-wrenching thing for a parent to watch their kid becoming so scared and panicky.
