Bullying | Australian Child & Adolescent Trauma, Loss & Grief Network
While children, adolescents and adults may deal with many adversities during their lives, one of the most pervasive and difficult to deal with is bullying. Bullying is often subtle and can be difficult to define. Nowhere is bullying more damaging than when it occurs in childhood, affecting children and adolescents of all ages. It reflects power inequities, which may be particularly damaging to the child's development, self esteem, capacity to function and learning.

Treatments for vitiligo | Cochrane
Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder characterised by patchy loss of skin colour. Some people experience itching before the appearance of a new patch. It affects people of any age or ethnicity, more than half of whom develop it before the age of 20 years. There are two main types: generalised vitiligo, the common symmetrical form, and segmental, affecting only one side of the body. Recent genetic research suggests that generalised vitiligo is, at least in part, an autoimmune condition which destroys melanocytes (pigment cells). Although our understanding of vitiligo has increased, its causes are still poorly understood. Several treatments are available. Some can restore pigment but none can cure it or prevent its spread or recurrence. Vitiligo patches can have a major psychosocial impact, especially for people with dark or tanned skin or when the face or hands are affected. People with vitiligo can be stigmatised, often experiencing low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence. Children with vitiligo may be teased and bullied at school. Despite this, we found only one study assessing psychological therapy for vitiligo.
