Bullying: Emotional and Physical Abuse Bullying is when a person or group repeatedly tries to harm someone who is weaker or who they think is weaker. Sometimes it involves direct attacks such as hitting, name calling, teasing or taunting. Sometimes it is indirect, such as spreading rumors or trying to make others reject someone. Recently, bullying has even been reported in online chat rooms and through e-mail. Often people dismiss bullying among kids as a normal part of growing up. But bullying is harmful. It can lead children and teenagers to feel tense and afraid. It may lead them to avoid school. In severe cases, teens who are bullied may feel they need to take drastic measures or react violently. Others even consider suicide. For some, the effects of bullying last a lifetime. -Centers for Disease Control and Prevention	189 topics 1,397 replies	Being Bullied As An Adult By Peony Yesterday, 08:21 PM
Depressed and Bipolar Children Depression in children and Bipolar disorder in children often is misdiagnosed and misunderstood. Bipolar can be confused with the more common attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The confusion arises because mania and ADHD both involve hyperactivity, irritability and distractibility. These issues may be even more difficult in young children who display some of these behaviors and emotions normally. Early intervention can help to stabilize children who experience overwhelming mood changes and rages as well as to provide hope for their future. If this room and these news articles help just one child it was well worth posting it.

Mental illness and stigma: Coping with the ridicule Archaic stereotypes and discrimination are painful reminders that mental illnesses are still stigmatized. When mental illnesses are used as labels-depressed, schizophrenic, manic, or hyperactive-these labels hurt. Labels lead to stigma -- a word that means branding and shame. And stigma leads to discrimination. Everyone knows why it is wrong to discriminate against people because of their race, religion, culture, or appearance. They are less aware of how people with mental illnesses are discriminated against. Although such discrimination may not always be obvious, it exists-and it hurts. This Forum will continuously dig into the facts of Mental Illness and the stigma that surrounds it.	185 topics 2,042 replies	What Reactions Have You Rec... By AmberV 19 May 2013
