Bullying is something that can happen anywhere. You could experience it in schools, you could see it happening in the workplace or you could even experience it at home. However, most people understand how to deal with bullying and they know how to overcome the issues that lead to bullying in the first place. Unfortunately, children are incredibly susceptible to bullying and it can affect them in more ways than it would hurt adults.
In most cases, children are too afraid to speak up about bullying, so here are a couple of telltale signs to look out for in children that are being bullied at school.

Your child is withdrawn and tends to keep to themselves
It’s natural for kids to group up and hang out with each other. If you find that your child is withdrawn and tends to avoid large groups, then it could be because they’re being bullied or feel threatened by other kids in the group. This could be an early sign of school anxiety symptoms and it would be best to seek assistance from experts. You don’t want to approach your child and bluntly point out certain things like “why aren’t you play with the other kids?” because it could worsen the condition and lead to further mental complications.
