Bullying negatively impacts a person's physical, mental, and social health. It takes various forms like physical, verbal, or cyber bullying. Being bullied can cause short term issues like depression and anxiety or long term problems with self-esteem and relationships. To address bullying, more education and awareness is needed along with schools implementing anti-bullying policies and adults learning to recognize the signs of bullying.

2. What is Health ‘ The English word "health" comes from the Old English word hale, meaning "wholeness, a being whole, sound or well,". Hale comes from the Proto-Indo-European root kailo, meaning "whole, uninjured, of good omen". Kailo comes from the Proto-Germanic root khalbas, meaning "something divided". Medilexicon'smedical dictionary has three definitions for health, the first being "The state of the organism when it functions optimally without evidence of disease or abnormality’ OR "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." The most famous modern definition of health was created during a Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organization as adopted by the International Health Conference, New York, 19-22 June, 1946; signed on 22 July 1946 by the representatives of 61 States (Official Records of the World Health Organization, no. 2, p. 100) and entered into force on 7 April 1948. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/150999.php
