Researchers looked at the relationship between exercise frequency, sadness and suicidality in 13,583 adolescents in grades 9-12. While it’s highly disturbing that 25% of teens report being bullied those who exercise four times per week report report significant reductions in suicidal ideation, suicidal attempts and sadness. The benefits also extend to teens who have not been bullied. Exercise significantly improves mood in adolescents, bullied or not!
