As per WHO “Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community”. There has been considerable discussion about the connection between bullying and mental health problems. Bullying is an activity of repeated aggressive behavior with the main intention to hurt the opponent, physically, emotionally, or mentally. It can cause trauma in children and young adults and follow them throughout their entire lives, frequently resulting in mental discomfort and sadness and, in the worst cases, even suicide. Researchers found that being a bully victim has detrimental effects on one's mental and physical health. This paper's objective was to review the research to determine how bullying affects adolescents' mental health. The researcher used the technique of content analysis, and a detailed review of the literature of national and international studies was carried out for arriving at the findings. This review paper will help us to understand bullying and its impact on mental health and seek the attention of everyone towards eradication. Results showed that the impact of bullying on mental health i.e., it can lead to various mental health problems like social anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidal ideation. We can prevent bullying through anti-bullying interventions.
