• Undermining your confidence, self-esteem and sense of security
• Affecting your performance and attendance at school
• Causing stress and affecting your health
• Affecting your professional reputation and career
• Marginalising certain groups
• Fuelling prejudice in areas such as race, religion and sexuality
• Leading to suicidal thoughts
• Affecting you for the rest of your life
