Effects of Bullying Last Into Adulthood
- stephengillie 14y agoBullies who were also victims were particularly troubled: they were 14.5 times more likely to develop panic disorder as adults, compared to those who did not experience bullying, and 4.8 times more likely to experience depression. Where do they find people who weren't bullied or bullies during childhood? It's like finding people who haven't lived around EM radiation or males who haven't ever viewed pornography.
- kstenerud 14y agoNot everyone experiences bullying, or at least not beyond one time. Once the bully realizes you fight back, he'll look for easier prey. It's quite conceivable that people won't even remember the episode if they fought the bully off.
