Children who are bullied often carry the scars of their experience into adulthood and suffer from anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. While bullies themselves are at risk for psychological problems when they grow up, children who had been bullied and also bullied other kids were affected the most as adults, shows a study of more than 1,400 researchers in online edition of JAMA psychiatry.
Those who were both bullies and victims of bullying had the highest levels of suicidal thoughts. Bullies were also at risk for antisocial personality disorder, which is defined as an ongoing pattern of “manipulating, exploiting or violating the rights of others”.
