Bullying in schools is not a new problem and is quite widespread.

Most often, schoolchildren may feel that they risk escalating the conflict or are afraid of being misunderstood.

In the worst case, even death is possible.

How to recognize that a child is being bullied
Often, such children have problems sleeping due to increased anxiety, and may overeat or refuse to eat. At the same time, victims of bullying often get sick, rarely take care of their appearance. Such schoolchildren do not want to go to class.
More alarming calls if the child comes home with bruises, starts asking for money more often for ordinary expenses.
In addition, you need to delicately find out how your child behaves at school.
If he is afraid and does not want to answer teachers' questions, prefers to sit separately from the class, is rarely involved in the group and discussions, then this is a bad sign.
It is also worth noting that the problem can be seen in the number of people he communicates with.
