The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Indeed bullying affects students in many ways, not only physically or emotionally but academically too.

The consequences are diverse but the impact is similar.

Let's see physical intimidation first.

Bullying can harm other students. It can be light damage or serious harm, depending on the aggression. Whatever the kind of bullying action -hitting, pushing, tripping- it causes serious trauma to the victim.

Emotionally, victims of bullying feel the consequences in that bullying destroys their confidence. Victims of bullying feel impotence because they can defend themselves or answer the aggression back. This creates many bad emotions that affect students emotionally and mentally. Students avoid any type of contact with other people for a while. They even could have a nervous breakdown.

In academics, the victim that is emotionally insecure and has lost trust in himself is not able to pay attention and focus on class. The victim is afraid of having another aggression and is watching his back all the time in class, in the corridors, at the library, instead of focusing on his academic activities. Of course, he fails in the exams and has low grades, which makes things worse.

That is why bullying must be prohibited and punished not only in school, but in the workplace, and society in general.
