Abstract
Background
Bullying is a big problem amongst high school learners. It is important to have the knowledge of the effects of bullying on high school learners in order to give support and counselling to the victims of bullying so that they can perform well academically and prevent long term effects of bullying. If victims of bullying do not get support and counselling, dire effects like school drop-out, fear, anxiety and suicide, amongst other may occur.
Methodology
Literature review was used to gather information on the effects of bullying on high school learners. The literature reviewed include books and journals and Acts which deals with children.
Results
Bullying causes anxiety, depression, sadness, loneliness, changes in eating and sleeping patterns, loss of interest on activities and poor academic performance.

Conclusion/Recommendations
It is recommended that high school learners who are victims of bullying must be provided with support and counselling in order to deal with anxiety, depression, sadness, changes in eating and sleeping patterns, loss of interest on activities and poor academic performance. It is also important to understand each individual victim of bullying as the effects thereof might vary from victim to victim.
