How long did it take you to get over being bullied?

Bullying will of course have been around for a long time and to me it is probably worse today due to social media and phones so the people being bullied might find it harder to get away from the bully.

We all probably know someone who was bullied and it may have even been yourself, or some may have even been the bully, but I am interested in how long it took people to get over it.

Was it a case of after you left school were you able to switch off and forget about it?

How did you manage to get over it?

Does technology mean that those people being bullied today will find it harder to do so?
