Happy reading! (again~)

Another effect on children involves the inability to focus and concentrate. Children from violent homes tend to have problems in school as they constantly feel anxious and depressed. As a result, their academic achievement is low.

The last effect is that these children develop illnesses such as headaches and ulcers, which are common among stressful adults. Although not much is known about how domestic violence induces stress-related illnesses in children, most of the children who have been saved from violent homes are found to have severe migraine and chronic ulcers.

In short, the effects of growing up in a hostile environment on children are serious and detrimental. Hence, these children need to be saved from their violent homes immediately!
