As a result, some fall prey to alcohol abuse and drug dependence, while others succumb to mental infection, pressure and melancholy because of the fact that they may be unwell and sick prepared to deal with the negative results in their reputation and way of life. Child athletes often suffer from critical cases of bullying and exploitation on the palms of coaches and sellers. While the industry itself has taken steps to regulate child labor, including setting age limits and providing education, there are still instances of exploitation and abuse that need to be addressed.
