No however my son was...It was difficult to put a stop to it at the time, as he was still at school after he left school it still continued. The bullies were jealous stole his clothes,shoes kicked him punched him completely beat him up, did everything to destroy his self esteem. It took years to get his life back on track which he did with support of his family and a few good friends. I would say looking back its best to remove yourself if possible from the environment where the bullies are and/or gain as much support to help deal with them. It largely depends on the severity of the bullying and how it affects the person. Is it a one off incident or continual? In my sons case it was continual and relentless police were of no help, they made things worse. Today he has a good job, money and is doing well. He also did college & passed his exams.
