When you are the bully, it is easy not to think about the effects you have on the other persons life. But, there are many immediate developments that bullying can cause. Mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, or even bulimia and anorexia can develop. Physical symptoms such as poor appetites, trouble sleeping, headaches, and abdominal pain can also evolve. Not only are these symptoms hard to go through while being bullied, but social difficulties can also be a long term symptom. Studies show that ten percent of kids and teens have been bullied by their peers. That means one in every ten people could be dealing with these symptoms. Don't you think causing someone to be depressed and attempt suicide is just as bad as assisted suicide? Why shouldn't every state have laws against bullying if this is what subsides after it.

Causing someone to be depressed and have suicidal thoughts and actions is exactly the same as assisted suicide. There should be laws everywhere about this!!!!!
