Arguments against my position

Argument #1: The parents are to be blamed for the children mental health issues.

• “Psychological, or relational bullying was the second most highly correlated with mental health.” (Margraf et al, 2018)

• “Verbal bullying has been associated with internalizing problems, feelings of loneliness, and social inadequacy.” (Atte et al, 2016)

• “Verbal bullying was the only type associated with suicide attempt” (Atte et al, 2016)
