N2  - Despite generations of doubt about the true impact of bullying, it is now clear that childhood bullying can have significant lifelong consequences for victims and bullies alike. Recent school shootings and suicides by students who have been victims of bullying have helped to solidify public awareness of the gravity of the problem of childhood bullying. Adults who were frequently bullied in childhood have an increased frequency of psychiatric disorders, including anxiety, depression, and suicidality, extending into middle age (Arseneault, 2017). In fact, frequent bullying in childhood may impact victims similar to experiencing multiple adverse childhood experiences (Takizawa, Maughan, & Arseneault, 2014). Bullying also has a detrimental effect on young perpetrators (Zuckerman, 2016). Bullying is clearly a pediatric health care problem. This continuing education article will explore bullying in terms of definitions, epidemiology, types, risk factors, resilience factors, consequences, and implications for practice.<br><br>Copyright © 2018 National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners.
