A study said that

School bullies were also more likely to grow up into adult criminals.

Bulling victims often left school without qualifications

Bullying victims who did not become bullies are more likely to have mental health problems


I will use this information to provide general information about bullying in the UK it also contains information about things like who you should contact if you are dealing with bullying
