Does childhood bullying have any long term effects later on in life?

[ManHater]

Just wondering if kids that are bullied at school does this affect them long term into adulthood etc? How so?

I think it can for sure, especially if no one helps mitigate it or hold the parties involved accountable.

I was bullied a lot through school for being smaller than most of my classmates and being quiet as well. I tried to make it stop by telling my teachers and parents and although those that bullies me were talked to they would still so it. Now this next bit will be controversial depending on the individual, but the only way I stopped my bullies was by standing up to them myself and even fighting them physically.

From my experiences nothing about me has changed in terms of how I carry myself in situations from day to day. Still small and quiet, but I definitely keep to myself and don't like opening up to new people in general because it gave me the realization that there is a fair amount of dickheads in this world that will try to make your life hell and I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

In short, I don't like bullying, but it is something that I believe a lot of kids go through and should learn to deal with because it teacher you who you are as a person. Are you one to fight back or are you one to take it?

Probably they can not feel themsleve because he walked on his own life but in objective view. There is space between them and sky. can't say that detail but your expert classify eastern language is high context language. You can ask Japanese about this song. They would think of this song when they are bullied. Most of them are bullied among themselves because culture after ww2, maybe like gunshot in USA. It is not easy to find sun on the sky always when dark clouds above them. So keep living in that way.

it could, yes. some people suffer from low self esteem and other mental health issues as a result from childhood bullying while others are perfectly fine so it definitely depends on the individual and their personal experiences

I definitely think that it can, depending on the person and the circumstances.
