bullying victims
Those tormented repeatedly
Bullying victims are people who have been subjected to repeated aggression, intimidation, or harassment—typically by someone with more social or physical power.
The phrase appears in discussions of school policy, workplace dynamics, and mental health: Support services for bullying victims are underfunded.
The term emphasizes the harm done rather than any characteristic of those targeted.
