In this news I would like to focus on what impacts bullying could leave on human psyche from an example that faced bullying in school and now after twelve years she still has memories that stuck in her mind and she is going to share them with us.

At the age of ten, Ayah Badr experienced an upset, confusion, and subjugation inside her.Ayah comes from Syria, she was raised and born in Saudi Arabia in a city called Jeddah.

“There I found a classmate at school who bullies me and mocks my accent, before sarcasm extended to my looks as I was very white while people in that community have dark skin color, they always called me as Leprosy’s “.

"It was all incomprehensible to me" Ayah recalls.

A new UNESCO report confirms that school violence and bullying are major problems worldwide.it is being released at the world’s largest gathering of education and skills Ministers, the 2019 Education World Forum taking place in London (UK). It demonstrates that despite the gravity of the problem, some countries have made significant progress towards reducing, or containing, school violence and bullying.

"I felt that there was no one who loved me, and I really didn't know why, I want to change my skin color, my body and my hair".

When she became in the high school , she has a thin body and she has a small breast.

“ They always bully me by saying that I look like a male as I don’t have big breast and when I want to swim I just have to wear short no need for bra, I was so upset by these words because I was already annoyed from them inside me, everyone used to bully me about this thing ; school colleagues ,friends and relatives , Then I did breast enlargement as it was literally eating me up”.

Ayah, at this point of time 22 Y.O, admits that the "continuous bullying" that she faced during her junior years of schooling had an indirect impact on her life in all its aspects.

“I was facing bullying by laughing and making fun of it to adapt the situation, which it was only passing by the support of my family I also accepted and understood the effects it had on them ”.

“In the beginnings, I used to cry for some time, but after that, I trusted myself more, as it did not affect me anymore”.

The experience of Ayah highlights the painful fact that children may be among the fiercest bullies, despite all their innocence and lack of experience in life. Their actions in this context may be very harsh, violent and shocking, given that they are less affected by the things that curb this behavior, which is the social norms that we learn in later stages of life, and we adhere to them accordingly.

Such bullying behaviors may have lifelong consequences for their victims.According to UNESCO, almost one in three students (32%) has been bullied by their peers at school at least once in the month and a similar proportion are affected by physical violence, according to the publication.Physical bullying is the most frequent type of bullying in many regions, with the exception of North America and Europe, where psychological bullying is most common.Sexual bullying is the second most common in many regions. School violence and bullying affects both male and female students. Physical bullying is more common among boys, while psychological bullying is more prevalent among girls.
