Being bullied at school leaves a lasting mark on a person life and minds years after the bullying ends, these effects can last long into adulthood.
Research has found that the victim of bullying affects the long term health of kids who were repeatedly targeted, and it was linked with poorer mental and physical health, increased symptoms of depression and lower self-esteem.
Children who experience continued bullying, over a number of years, had more severe effects.
One would think that as people mature and progress through life, that they would stop behaviors of their youth. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sadly, adults can be bullies, just as children and teenagers can be bullies. While adults are more likely to use verbal bullying as opposed to physical bullying, adult bullying exists. The goal of an adult bully is to gain power over another person, and make himself or herself the dominant adult. They try to humiliate victims, and show them who is boss.
If you affected by bullying as a child and it is still affecting you or are currently being bullied and need to talk to someone in a confidential, non judgemental way, counselling may be an option.
