Both positive (it is part of life you must learn to deal with) and negative (lowers self-esteem and safety issues).  Affected students show both positive and negative effects.  Talking openly in individual and small group sessions about the issue seems helpful. Coddling the victim does not seem as productive as making strategies to tackle the problem.

According to a study funded by the National Institutes of Health, children who are bullied have "lower academic achievement, a greater dislike of school and less confidence in their academic abilities," said CNN. The study also found that boys are more likely than girls to suffer from bullying throughout all age groups analyzed.
We have seen similar situations in our school. "One of the things kids talked about was that it was harder for them to pay attention when they were sitting in the classroom thinking about what the bully was going to do to them next or what they were going to do to them after school or things of that nature, so we also wondered about whether or not this was a major distraction for children."
