I've read that chronic bullying can cause what is known as complex PTSD. This site has some good info about bullying and PTSD

http://www.bullyonline.org/stress/ptsd.htm#Causes of PTSD

People always want to write off bullying as "human nature" but it has profound and long-lasting effects if it is continuous. It's not human nature, it's people deliberately being jerks for the most part. I have no desire to take advantage of people weaker than me and yet people do the same to me.
