The OPP is reminding you about the potential risks of bullying, and the effects it can have on youth well-being this week.
This comes as we recognize Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week in Ontario.
Police say 75 per cent of people have been affected by bullying, which is known to cause serious harm including headaches, depression, anxiety, and an increased risk of suicide.

Some forms of bullying are even considered criminal offences.
Parents are being encouraged to let their kids know it is not accepted to bully, be bullied, or stand by and watch while it happens to others.
