According to Medical Xpress:

The negative social, physical and mental health effects of childhood bullying are still evident nearly 40 years later, according to new research by King's College London. The study is the first to look at the effects of bullying beyond early adulthood, and is published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.

    I suspect that there are many here who have suffered at the hands of bullies. I know that I did and have had a long struggle at overcoming its effects over the years. I sought therapy and found it helpful in reframing how I viewed my past, as well as guiding my thoughts and actions today.

    I'm curious as to how others here have dealt with it. What long-term effects have you experienced? How has it affected how you deal with bullies (and with the bullied) today?

    I wonder, too, how bullying fits into the concept of establishing a
    pecking order [wikipedia.org]. Is there some societal benefit to it?
