Post Traumatic of Bullying

Post traumatic according to Merriam-Webster dictionary is “a psychological reaction occurring after experiencing a highly stressing event (such as wartime combat, physical violence, or a natural disaster) that is usually characterized by depression, anxiety, flashbacks, recurrent nightmares, and avoidance of reminders of the event —abbreviation PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)”. Post traumatic can happen in every action we have been made for example when soldiers go to war and went back home because of their dismissal in the group some of them do not like loud noises such as fireworks because it reminded them of what the past war and because of this they can get depression from their own nightmares, bad flashbacks, etc. This can also happen to the victims of bullying the results are almost like the examples that is mentioned before and it also have many other kinds of mental sickness other than depression and anxiety, knowing the post traumatic of bullying can help strengthening our awareness of bullying.

As a teenager myself I have seen many bad things about bullying and the problems that it gives to the victim, some of the problems that it gives tot the victims are PTSD, PTSD was usually found at veterans who fought in war but researchers have found out that some children may have PTSD from bullying. The effects of PTSD may vary depending on the age of the victim’s teens are usually the one who has the most similar sicknesses as adults, they may have flashbacks which reminded them of their bad past or they may be depressed and not socially prepared to talk to others, but teens have one thing different than adults they are more aggressive that them. I have seen these kinds from some one that is very close to me and it is also the reason why I can mention these kinds of effects. The aggressions that the victim may do are bad mouthing the victim’s parents or relatives, having instable emotions, or assaulting others based on pure anger that has been filled from the bully.

There are many ways for us to do so we can intervene the effects to last longer for the victim because to the sources that I have seen the post traumatic of bullying cannot be healed completely every act that the victim will make is out of our hands and only he and God can know what will he do next. All we can do to intervene the effects to last longer is to call an expert so that he can talk with the victim and solve his problem together, as a relative or a parent what we could do is to inform his friends, the school, and the bully himself that the victim is having troubles because of the bully and inform the bully to stop doing these kinds of things. The result of informing the school is the victim can have a more relaxed life than before and because of this the effects can be shortened.
