[quote=Crook32;3991631]How can being bullied as a child effect you as an adult? I was bullied throughout most of school and feel ashamed that it may still be effecting me now. I try not to think about it usually but it was brought up in therapy yesterday.

Hello Crook32: I have read numerous places that quite a bit of research now supports the idea the effects of childhood bullying last well into adulthood. Individuals who have been bullied have higher rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal thought, difficulty maintaining employment, etc.

I believe this to be true since I was also a victim.
