Excerpts (These should provide insight into the Point to Prove): 
“Frequent victims of bullying in school often suffer both emotionally and socially. Bullied
children tend to experience a wide range of emotions.”
 
“Children who are bullied may experience physical harm, such as bruises, fractures, and also
suffer anxiety.”

“A study conducted by the University of Virginia showed that children who attend a school with
a severe climate of bullying often have lower scores on the standardized tests.”

Analysis (How does this source support the Point to Prove?): 

 When a victim of bullying, the victim can often distance themselves from friends and
family. According to Professor George Oduro “Frequent victims of bullying in school often
suffer both emotionally and socially. Bullied children tend to experience a wide range of
emotions. They may feel angry, bitter, frustrated, lonely and isolated from their peers.” This can
lead to the abuse of alcohol and/ or drugs, depression, and contemplating suicide if the victim is
repeatedly bullied.

If being physically bullied, and it is severe, the victim will often have bruises, cuts, or
some type of laceration According to Professor George Oduro “Children who are bullied may
experience physical harm, such as bruises, fractures, and also suffer anxiety.” Additionally,
“Bullying may aggravate other pre-existing conditions like eczema. Skin conditions, stomach
conditions and heart conditions that are aggravated by stress when a child is being bullied.”
(Oduro).

According to Professor George Oduro “Children scored lower on similar tests than
schools with effective anti-bullying programmes.” He later says “A study conducted by the
University of Virginia showed that children who attend a school with a severe climate of
bullying often have lower scores on the standardized tests.” (Oduro).
