In this discussion I am putting the traditional physical bullying against psychological or mental bullying.
I have many experiences of being bullied both physically and psychologically.
For me, the worst form of bullying is being bullied pschycologically rather than physically. I was beaten up at school and I was also teased in an extreme manner. I know everyone teases someone or the other at some point of time, but the continuous teasing and calling my family bad things has left a deep wound in my mind. A scar that can never be healed. Physical bullying left physical scars, but they were weaker than mental scars.
However this opinion varies so I want to know which form was worse for you all.
Tell me what do you think is worse , psychological bullying or physical bullying?

My opinion is psychological bullying, when I was 16 I got rid from my fellow classmates because i was not smarter than them.
But i was hardworking then, I got Grade 1 for my secondary graduate and was happy for myself, I know what is the feeling of lonely. I got depressed then during secondary years. I eat medicine everyday as I was not happy with myself, I advise all teachers and parents took care of their children not only at home but outside also because we don't know what can happen nowadays. People care less about other's welfare.

I know exactly what you are saying. Bullying led to me developing an inferior complex too. I lost all confidence in myself. Fortunately I had some amazing friends and thanks to them I was able to recover. Did you have such friends or family members?

Interesting question. I do believe that mental/psychological bullying is worse than physical bullying. Physical injuries can heal, and we often forget about them long term, but psychological injuries are much more permanent and damaging to a person. With the effects of psychological bullying, one have serious damages overtime and may result in therapy or serious treatment. Bullying is a serious problem we need to address to. Kudos~!

@FunkyEag Yeah, the scars of bullying lasts a lifetime if we do not take action upon it immediately. It's great that there are anti-bullying laws at schools, but we also need to be attentive and observant because most of the bullied don't like to talk about, but they show-and-tell. Kudos~!

There is no scale to compare the two..they both are bad and have detrimental effects on the victims.
