Suicide. Violent retaliation. Depression. Research suggests that these three serious things can be the results of school bullying.

In life, as in Speak, loneliness results in low self-esteem, depression and even suicide. Topic: Loneliness

Based on the FINAL sentence of that paragraph (the thesis statement), what will the body paragraphs be about? Paragraph 2: low self-esteem Paragraph 3: Depression Paragraph 4: Suicide THE THESIS
