Bullying among adolescents has been the subject of several studies. However, just a
few researchers have focused on the accompanying post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Many bullied teenagers, according to basic clinical experience and therapeutic interactions,

adults and the psychological impact bullying has on their emotional development. The
mixed-methods technique presented in this article is a comparatively recent approach. The
PTSD that develops from bullying may be studied using this methodology. Psychic and
familial risk factors will be better understood as a result. There may be a special
convergence (1) that increases the vulnerability of teenagers to bullying and other forms of
trauma when genetic and psychological risk factors are coupled concurrently.
