Yes and I firmly believe that it contributed to my SA
I've been bullied by a lot of people. Most significant form was in high school. But a cousin I used to be very close with constantly made fun of me. To such extend that it became verbal bullying.
There was more, but much of it is suppressed and so I can only vaguely remember it. It was never physical (as far as I can remember), though.

I think I might be one of the few exceptions who've never been bullied but still has SP. Maybe I'm wrong though, but a lot of people who I know has SP and has been bullied before.
I don't think I've been bullied before, but I've definitely been taken advantage of and I've let people walk all over me. It was all kid stuff though so I don't know whether that would even count. I'm sure there are a lot of kids who've been too shy to stand up for themselves so I don't know if that might have contributed to my SP or not.

Yes in schools and I'd say it definitely has affected me. I was also bulllied a lot by my older brother who was (still is really) superior to me in every way.This made me very jealous of him
Thankfully I am at college now and I've had no bullying whatsoever! And my older brother has moved out! So life for me has gotten much better.

Yes.
Not much.
Helps when you reach near 6' in 8th grade.
Tad off topic why did they always tell me to smile... odd, why they care.

Never pyshically bullied, but have been verbal bullied in my childhood, mainly from girls funny enough. I was also teased a lot by certain people including friends, but that isn't so bad.

I got bullied from the ages of eleven to seventeen. It has ruined my life. When I turned 18 and boys started getting interested I turned into a complete slut just because I was so happy to be getting positive attention and now I am pretty much a recluse. I try and kid myself that I am fine but I know I have let the bullies win, they have destroyed me and it kills me.
It ruined the rest of my childhood and the whole of my adult life. It is about 90% responsible for my SA.

Yes. I was physically and verbally bullied from about 7yrs til 18yrs. I was bullied almost daily. Its ruined my childhood my adulthood and probably the rest of my life too. I now find it really hard to trust people. Some of those bullies where my so called 'friends'.

Me too, but at least in my case I feel it increased my emotional resistance to stressful situations. That's a sort of compensation.

Yeah I was bullied.
Since I was shy and didn't talk much, kids made fun of me all the time. It was either be ignored, or be bullied.

Yah, when I was a child my father liked to group my sisters around and they all kind of pointed out all my faults and laughed about it until I receded to my room. I remember when I was 7-8? and soooo fed up with it all that I decided to just say "YES I AM!! I AGREE WITH YOU!" and hopefully they would take it back, but they just made fun of me for agreeing!! UGh!! Oh well, it was a nice try. I have no idea what that was about. It did affect me most likely and made me feel like I was not a part of the family.
"The family you are going to have is more important than the family you came from" or something like that. I saw it on a wall. Maybe it doesn't apply to everybody but I liked it
