From the Paper:

"Abuse, in all its forms, leaves the most negative and lasting impact on a student's psychology. Abused students are hardest to recover from their abuse trauma. It leaves them unable to build and retain cordial relations with anyone. Most abused students are found to stay aloof and cold in attitude. If others try to forcefully mix with them, make fun of them or try to share things about their life, such students can burst out in a very bad conduct in classrooms, even to the extent of attacking others (NASP, 1999)."
