Direction: Read the paragraph below with the stated opinion and stand on the issue. Write
evidence that you find from the paragraph that support the opinion.
Bullying, in its various forms, has been increasingly recognized as a significant contributor
to the development of depression among individuals, particularly among adolescents and
teenagers. The relentless torment, social exclusion, and psychological abuse inflicted by
bullies can deeply wound a person's sense of self-worth and belonging, fostering feelings of
loneliness, helplessness, and despair. Numerous studies have underscored this
correlation, with research showing that victims of bullying are at a significantly higher risk of
experiencing depression symptoms compared to their non-bullied peers. For instance, a
longitudinal study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent
Psychiatry found that adolescents who were bullied frequently were more likely to develop
depressive symptoms over time. Moreover, the detrimental effects of bullying on mental
health can persist into adulthood, compounding the long-term consequences. This
evidence highlights the urgent need for comprehensive anti-bullying measures in schools
and communities, coupled with increased awareness and support systems to address the
mental health implications of bullying and prevent the onset of depression among
vulnerable individuals.
