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 stressrelated 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!
