Lots of people do have long term effects from bullying as it is a prolonged abuse which us likey to cause some damage. The best way to deal with this is to find small things that help you overcome it and to talk to people about it as you dont have to be scarred forever

Bullying can be very traumatic and therefore this is a very normal reaction due to how negative it can make you feel.

It's absolutely normal to feel traumatized after being bullied. It's not weak or strange, and as long as you recognize that it has an impact on you, you can work on it and have compassion for yourself, first and foremost. Hope this helped.

Yes absolutely, I believe every event in our lives leaves imprints sometimes physically or mentally. Sadly being a victim of bullying can cause all manor of issues including lack of trust in others, security in oneself esteem and our views on the world. It can be hard to overcome but try to surround yourself by those who love and care for you.

It is. In fact, it happens in almost every cases. That is exactly why you should seek help once the bullying happen. sometimes working on it yourself won't bring you the best result.

It is normal, especially if the bullying was for a long period of time and was very traumatic and stressful.

What is normal is always such a relative term, you are you, and if things happen to or around you, its very logical that they have an effect on you. Whether the bullying is presently happening or happened in the past, it has a tendency to leave scars, if you find that it effects you in your every day life, talking to someone may help to grab control back over your life. Its easy to say they dont deserve it, but they really dont deserve to have such impact on you, and getting the support to get there (which really isnt easy) is your first step! You cannot change the winds but you can adjust the sails

Bullying is bullying. I don't think there is such a thing as normality when it comes to the consequences of the bullying because every victim and situation is different. However, bullying can hurt someone just as mentally as it does physically. Just as physical wounds leaves scars, the hurt and pain you feel when someone mistreats you will leave an emotional scar. This is why many people who've been bullied continue to try to heal their wounds long after the bullying is over. It hurts to be bullied, but its okay to acknowledge what you feel about all of it. If you want to cry then cry. If you want to scream in anger to the sky, go ahead and do that. The thing about mental scars is that you can't stitch them up and move on with your life. You have to face your feelings and know that nobody is going to judge you for being vulnerable because of what you went through.

Yes, I would say so. Bullying is a really hard thing to deal with. People can mentally, and emotionally hurt you which can lead to lifelong damage, trust issues, and more. I wish it didn't happen to people. It happnes to a general majority of the population. Depending on how severe it can result to permanent damage. There has been studies on bullying and how it affects children and even adults, alot said that it can emotionally damage anyone who has been bullied adult or child. Bulying is very tolerated which makes it even worse and not many people stand up to it.
